I ordered a mod chip and iso dvd from racketboy and the post office lost it so he sent me another one. The second chip that came was one of the 1/100 that are defective so he sent me another one and added free delivery confirmation and another iso dvd for free. This guy is legit and very nice to deal with.
cheapest prices,super fast shipping,rare quality stuff for your old skool lifestyles.
what more can ya ask for?
racketboy’s is a very reliable source for modchips.
highly recommended!
RacketBOY’s Saturn modchips are top notch, easy to install, and very quickly delivered. I would highly reccomend these chips to anyone interested. On top of that, they are hard to find anywhere else. I couldn’t reccomend a better source. Thanks!
I got it in yesterday, (superfast shipping by the way!) and quickly modded modded my 32 pin saturn! Thanks Racketboy!
awesome! bought a modchip and ram cart from racketboy on a thursday, had it on monday! i’m a complete novice with electronics, but i managed (with shakey hands, no less) to solder the modchip into my model 2 japanese saturn with only minimal problems (i didn’t push the chip into the slot all the way, the troubleshooting page helped me on that one though) and now it plays my backups no problem! heck, it even loads without mentioning “checking disc” when playing imports (it goes to the cd screen and skips the disc check, usually imports must be “checked” first)
nothing but good stuff from racketboy! thanks!

Ciao! I just received and installed your chip on my SATURN!!! It’s great!!! Now it’s perfect…it reads everything!!! Thankyouverymuch!!! FAST SHIPPING TO ITALY and WONDERFUL CHIP!!! Do you know where to buy one for Sega DC?! Thanks!!! GRAZIE 1000!!!
I ordered on Monday and received on Thursday!
only 3 days for delivery cross the ocean!!!
Very easy installation, runs perfectly!!
THX!
Arrived extremly quickly, I was so surprised when a package arrived for me just two days after I ordered it.
Slight problems installing it though, seening as the insides of my saturn are well, backwards. I seem to have a model 1 inside a model 2 case! Oh well, im sure i’ll be able to get it working soon.
Thanks for the great service!
Ordered a RAM cart and mod chip. order was shipped next day though USPS was kind of slow (not racketboy’s fault of course). anyways, RAM cart works perfectly. Mod chip was a little bit trickier since I have a 64 pin Model 2 saturn (21 pin cd ribbon). But I used the A+B method, put the chip in with the components facing out and put the ribbon in upside down and it works like a charm…almost. I can play both burned games and retail games but both require me to boot to the CD player screen and then open and close the lid. but it’s a small inconvenience for an awesome mod. Thanks racketboy!
Nice, corrosion-free modchip, delivered in style. Looks brand new and works fine.
Just wanted to add an install note that I hadn’t seen mentioned before: the A+B (”solderless”) trick worked fine with this chip on my Japanese model 2 Saturn!
I’ve seen instructions elsewhere on the web claiming that ALL Japanese Saturns require soldering a connection to the 32-pin IC. But that wasn’t true in my case. The install using the A+B trick was exactly the same as on my 32-pin model 2 US Saturn.
The only catch was that the +5V point on the Japanese console is slightly farther away than on a US Saturn, so you have to stretch the power wire a bit further.
Well, I ordered my modchip on Friday night and it came here on Tuesday. So considering that the order couldn’t even be sent until Monday, it was very speedy. I’ve also talked to the owner via e-mail in the past, and he is very trusting and loves to talk to his customers. I got my modchip in GREAT condition, and it works just fine. I did the A+B trick on my 32-pin Model 2 Saturn, and I couldn’t be happier.
Anyone looking to buy a modchip should go through this guy. He’s very speedy with the shipping, and is extremely helpful and reliable.
speedy, easy to installation and now im playing all the games ive always wanted to play on my saturn.This a must for everyone who is serious about retro games
Thanks Racketboy for the prompt shipping. Installation was a breeze (altough I most admit I had previous soldering skills) Got it up and running in just one try. Now if you excuseme, I gotta go play some Radiant Slilvergun!
i had fun installing this in my 64-pin model 2 US saturn. don’t worry if the circuitboard pics on racketboy’s site don’t match, you can find pictorial installation guides for this type elsewhere. seems like the A-B method is working out for me, so no soldering fiddly pins! oh, and most importantly, it was delivered swiftly, and works!
I recieved the chip and battery today and installed it right when I got home. At first, I thought it didn’t work because so many of my burns wouldn’t read but when I tossed my Panzer Dragoon Saga disc in there, it ran perfectly. I guess I grabbed a bad image of Nights. That and Nero doesn’t like to burn backups very well. I’m using clone cd now. Anyways, it was well worth the money and I’ll be sure buy again sometime and send along the message to anyone who has some retro gaming hardware needs.
Perfect, I have never spent my money better. It didnt work on my Sanyo (wouldnt recommend getting a mod chip for a sanyo board! they never work!) but on my model 2, 32 pin, it works PERFECT. I am already playing tons of backups! no complaints at all. THANK YOU! the instructions are great too, i had never sodored before, but i got it working my first try on the 32 pin saturn.
What you should do,
Make sure you have the 32 pin saturn (they work the best)
Follow instructions from racketboy
Burn image using nero
DONE!
Any problems? DONT THINK SO

I bought a racketboy modchip, and I couldn’t be happier. It installed EASY with just a couple of PIECE OF CAKE soldering spots. I’m a novice at soldering, and this was SO EASY. Plays every backup I own flawlessly.
Hey great site lots of great info, the “Burning SegaSaturn Backups for the Mac” link seems to be down, I’m a mac user so i kinda need that
Loved the first one that I bought! I’m buying another.
Procuro chip sega saturn destavamento.
Procuro chip sega saturno para desbloqueio.
Well i was going to buy one but they are OUT OF STOCK so i cant get one….
Ordered the mod chip for my apparently hard to mod model 2 64 pin saturn. Worked flawlessly first time, i was freakin’ zonal!!!
A pleasure to do business with Racketboy, recommend to anyone!!
curse me has not arrived my chip for saturn surely is the local mail of here (Colombia)
I have many desire to play already
The chip works great. I had a problem at first where the drive wouldn’t spin and it would constantly check the disc’s format/content (even if there was no disc in the drive). This was solved by filing down a small part of the chip to ensure a snug fit. Works great now, so far. Thanks.
for the aussies
I bought the modchip from racketboy and received it in oz in 4 days. I have the model 2(round buttons) with a 64 pin chip, took the blue signal wire off and used the A+B method and plugged the modchip facing outward. then instead of soldering the 5v wire i just unplugged the small green cable from the cd drive and stuck the wire inside the hole 2nd from the right, then plugged it in. Booted the games first go after i finally worked out how to burn the games. it even booted the games that failed with the swap trick.
I bought the modchip from racketboy and received it in El Salvador, Central America in 11 days.
Gonna mod my model 2(round buttons) with a 64 pin chip, today!!!
Can’t wait to play Panzer Dragoon Saga.
PS. For all your Sega Saturn needs (ISO´s), this site is a definite plus to look at.

Received my modchip in the UK after a week (fast delivery, thanks)
I have the Model 2 64 Pin Saturn, so the expected success rate is 65%.
I used the A-B method using a wire (not a solder bridge), fitted chip in around 2 minutes (take care when pushing chip into motherboard, do not force as you could snap Saturn motherboard or modchip!)
Turned on Saturn, tested original game, no problems.
Tested backup again no problems, boots from turn on and from cd screen. Works 100% as it should. No boot from cd screen workaround needed for me.
Thanks Racketboy
It took four days for the chip to arrive and roughly twenty minutes to install.
Good price, fast delivery, easy installation, and the chip worked perfectly the first time.
Awesome
Time to go try out Radiant Silvergun
This site seemed too good to be true but I bought and installed the modchip with MINIMAL effort and am super-satisfied with it. Plays everything no probem, and didnt even really have to solder if i didnt want to. Great product, Great site.
My modchip arrived 3 days after I ordered. Racketboy promptly shipped literally within hours of me ordering and emailed me to tell me so. When it arrived, I installed on my 64-pin IC using the A+B method and didn’t have to solder a thing. All I had to do was stick the blue wire through the hole of what I was supposed to sodder it to, and it boots both originals and backups exactly as it should.
A+ order. Thanks!
I ordered my modchip and RAM cart and they arrived within days. I had a bit of problem with this first chip (wouldn’t work no matter what method I tried). I contacted Racketboy and he immediately responded. He asked me to send him the modchip back and promptly sent me a replacement which works perfectly (A+B method) on my model 2 (32-pin) Saturn.
It actually took longer for the soldering iron to heat up than to install the chip itself. I’m very happy and thankful for the great service and excellent chip.
Glad I could be of service!
Thanks again!
Worked like a charm. The A+B method didn’t work for me but connecting the signal wire to pin 14 worked
As usual, Racketboy delivers promptly, safely, and in perfect condition-ly. Chip works like a dream, now it’s time to get busy with my Saturn!
Thanks Nick!
thanks a lot was posted 1st class still took 14 days to u.k for but not racketboys fault. (royal mails lol) tested and works fine thanks again highly recommended!
I ordered the modchip and had it at my house in three business days. I was able to install it using the A+B method (without soldering!) in less than 15 minutes and it is working GREAT! Thanks, Racketboy!!!
I ordered a modchip monday and received it thursday (today). I was able to install it using the A+B method without using any solder at all, and it works perfectly. I didn’t even have trouble with the ribbon cable socket, the chip fit perfectly without needing to file the ends or apply extra pressure.
And it works bueatifly. I was even able to get my original copy of Virtual On, which had trouble booting in the past, to load and run without problem!
Many thanks to Racketboy! Now I’m off enjoy the many classics of the Saturn library.
i forget to thank you! i’ve installed the chip and it works perfect! i have no problems during the installation, it was very simple.
from Chile i say: RacketBoy rules!
I order my mod-chip the other week. I got my Saturn from ebay yesterday, Me and my friend installed the chip. Everything works greats. Next up the MB Card from racketboy.
Just got my chip in yesterday. Installed it today. Guess what, it works! I was REALLY scared since this was my first soldering job and even though it looks like i soldered it drunk, it’s working beautiful. I used the A-B method and am having NO problems. Great product from a great guy. Thanks RB.
Hi! I’m from Portugal and I am very satisfied, the chip is working great! I had a problem with it and asked Racketboy for help, he told me to send him back because it could be defective, I did just that and he sent me the replacement. Now I have it installed and its working flawlessly!!
I highly recommend it! And once again thank you Racketboy for you great job!
Excellent! Took less than a week to get to the UK, and next to no time to install. Works a treat and I’m very happy with it.
Would definitely consider buying more stuff in future. Thanks Racketboy!
Thanks to Racketboy, my Saturn is alive and still kicking, with more than 100 games to enjoy. Saludos desde Santo Domingo!
Now I have a question for Racketboy, when would the mod-chips and ram carts be available again?
Dear Racketboy,
I see that someone else asked before me but more than 20 days ago and no answer. Do you know when will be there modchips available again?
Sega Saturn has a very high cult following here in Dominican Republic, viva SEGA. We all want more modchips and ram carts to be available soon. Thanks Racketboy for make us happy over the years, you make our dreams come true. Please keep on bringing Sega Saturn stuff.
Awesome and thanks for your support! Hope to have more in the near future
Sega Saturn Forever!
I too am curious as to when you think you’ll be receiving more Saturn mod chips? I had been meaning to order one, but always put it off.
I’m looking at about a week right now…

Hey if anybody is interested im selling my saturn modchip since I dont have a saturn anymore. I pretty sure I bought it from here about two years ago. I installed it on my model 2 saturn and used it so I know it works 100%. Ill sell it for 15.00 dollars with the shipping included. Contact me at Drummermann@yahoo.com if youre interested Ill only accept paypal.
Yeah can’t really complain =) Fast shipping (didn’t take all that long to arrive in Australia), well packaged, and the online guide made it easy to install.
It was in fact the first mod chip I have ever installed and had no issues at all =)
Happy new year 2010 to all SegaSaturn lovers, and thanks again Racketboy for everything!!!
Viva SEGA!!!
No complaints about the chip, however there should be a big warning about Sanyo board (with pc-trap) Saturns as it’s seemingly impossible to get the chip to work with these. Backups will still only be read as audio CDs.
Works like a charm!! Fast shipping from Racketboy.
