How to mod an old model 1 Saturn successfully

Here is a closeup of my V1.1 chip i got from Rob. You have to solder a thin electric wire to the point which is labeled +5V.

Now we want to get that 5V our modchip needs to operate. Luckily the powersupply connectors are labeled, so that we can easily find a pin that outputs +5V. Now put some solder on the bared tip of your wire and stick it inside the connector, just like in the picture, till it has contact.

This part will be a bit tricky. First remove the flat ribbon cable that leads to the cd drive unit from the mainboard, thats the one which goes into the IN connector of the modchip. Before putting the extra flat cable into its place, you will have to remove one "wire", since Rob ships 21-wire cables, but we have a 20-pin console here. Make sure you put it in the right way. Just look in the picture how i did it and you should be fine.

When the cables are in place you can install the modchip. It might be a bit tricky to install it facing downwards, but this way it fits perfectly in the free space of the Saturn's case. Put the flat cable that comes from the cd drive unit in the IN connector of the 20pin side of the chip. The cable you connected to the mainboard goes into the OUT connector. the connectors are actually 21pin, but the pins nearest to the solder point labeled +5V are not used.

And here is a picture of my finished modchip installation. This is a PAL Saturn Model 1 with the model Nr MK-80200-50.
