Finding the correct BIOS files for this through search engines and forums is a pain in the ass, so I figured I’d post up a zip I’ve compiled of the correct OpenEmu Sega Saturn BIOS files needed for US, EU and JPN region games.

I managed to re-use most components from the previous switchless mod but had to get rid of the stripboard, the socket and the long wires. The chip becomes practically useless and I had to throw away many PICs over the years until I bought a PICkit 2 (clone) which can auto-generate the OSCCAL value via software. This time for Sega’s classic 32-bit console, the Sega Saturn. But first, we’ll need to go back in time a decade or so.

The Saturn has worked fine for the past nine years, by the way. Before assembling everything back together, I added the +5 V wire for the modchip again and crimped a Dupont connector onto it, for easier removal in the future.
