    Hi all,

    the title actually says it all. Is there a way to modify robs V2 modchip to work with model 1 (PAL) consoles ?
    V1.1 modchips still had 20 pin connectors on them, which rocked imo :Rock:.

    If there isn't anything known about such modification, maybe someone could get us high res pics of V2 (and maybe V1.1) so we might get it done w/o much hassle.

    Thanks,
    iCEQB

    Thanks for the answer, but I might need a little assistance to find that thread you're talking about :confused:

    I found these where they kidna refer to my question, but the information in these threads are either broken or they contracidt themselfs :confused::

    I was curious about this too. I believe I saw a guide, but I never tried it myself.

    Turns out my model 1 is a 21 pin anyway. I'll have a rummage..

    Thanks for the answers guys ... but believing that you saw something or anything before doesn't actually help me :(
    So a site or info would be the best answer, since I'm also somehow finding tiny bits of evidence that such a guide exists ... but I can't find it :D

    So if someone knows where to find such a guide, please help me ;)

    Thanks you,
    iCEQB

    I just got a mint 1995 Model 1 Saturn 3 weeks ago, so I would also be interested in this as well.

    You should check the board, my motherboard says 1995 but it actually had a 21 pin laser.

    Just installed a V2 modchip today and it's working great.
