No one seems to answer this very simple question. I have a Model 2 Sega Saturn (32pin) and I just ordered a mod chip from this website and I cant figure out where I need to solder the power wire to the power supply (5V). There is a socket with a round metal piece and inside the socket is a pin that is sticking up. Do i solder the power wire to the ruond metal piece or the metal pin that is sticking out in the 5V socket?

A>B worked for me. If you look on the model 2 (8000A), pin 14 off that chip on the CD assembly goes to the bottom pin on the ribbon cable. On the modchip, the bottom pin from the ribbon goes to B.

As for the power, I used a small “Y” splade, like you would stick on a wire and then use under a screw with a ground wire or such. I snipped off one branch so I just had one little thin blade. That slipped into the clip next to the post to tap the power fairly snugly. I shouldn’t have any issues with it slipping out and since A>B worked for me, my chip is easy to pop out if (when) I have to swap it into another Saturn. = ]
