whats the deal on buring games for sega saturn? is it the same as it is with dreamcast or do you need a mod-chip or somthing. thanks

Well, your asking two different questions. You need a mod-chip to PLAY Saturn backups, but not to BURN them. (obviously). You can burn Saturn games with about any software, even Adaptec.

ya you need a modchip and you can burn them with nero.

thanks

There are swap methods. And they work fine, but then, you can ruin your Sega Saturn by doing them. Honestly, I do it.
There are 2 different models, look at the reset and power buttons, model one is circle buttons, model 2 is slanted oval buttons (But do correct me if I got those 2 mixed up)
Well, the first models are easier to swap, the second ones, you might have a hard time doing, so the easiest way are mod chips.

And any program can burn them.

I wouldn't bother with the swap method - it will kill your laser. Get the modchip if youc an, really easy to fit, only 3 wires to solder and the points are really easy to get to :)

More like kill the drive -- you have to yank the disc off while it's spinning
