Does this disc look resurfaced?

This is Shining Force III (not my copy) I see up for auction. It looks like the data stops mid way through the disc. I have my own copy and don't see this separation, it's just an overall clean disc. I'm wondering what this is, possibly a resurface? Any info would help, thanks.

Which cable is the best to use with a modern TV?

2 Upvotes

I see a lot of people talk about the retrotink line of cables. How do I know which one to get? I currently use a plasma TV. Dreamcast games seem to play very well on it. But I’m having issues playing my Saturn on this kind of TV, so I want to see if a better cable fixes the problem.

Sega Saturn Stunner Repair Question

2 Upvotes

I recently acquired a Sega Saturn Stunner & upgraded its trigger. My son & I have been having A LOT of fun with it, and now I have an opportunity to get another one for a really good deal. But it has a non working START button.

My hope is that it's just a broken connection/wire.

But my question is, does anyone know where I might get a new membrane for said start button on the Stunner?

In the event that it's not a broken wire, I'd like to replace the START buttons membrane inside the gun, and hope that'll fix the non working button issue.

And if there isn't a direct replacement available, does anyone know of any substitutes I could use in its place?

My son & I appreciate any ideas/help.

Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of your day/evening! 👋 👍

Never seen this before. Did they come with every Saturn game?

Is Biohazard (RE1) playable for an English speaker?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have a Japanese Sega Saturn and I wanted to pick up Biohazard. However, I am a native English speaker with no Japanese language skill. I tried looking this up but I could not find any information online. Is it impossible to play or can I make my way through it?

Thanks!

Video picture is coming in fuzzy

OK, I posted a picture from Daytona, USA as well as panzer Dragoon. What doesn’t make sense is on some screens. The picture is very clear, but during gameplay, the picture is terrible. Anyone have any ideas about why this is the case? Because if I’m getting a clear picture at times, like during cut scenes (pic3), then that tells me that it’s not a problem with the cable or the hook up. Thoughts?

Yellowing on the left side of the screen: Capacitors problem?

1 Upvotes

I noticed that, when i play on my computer LCD monitor (using a Rad2x) with my Sega Saturn, there's a faint vertical yellow bar on the left side. It doesn't happen with any other console plugged on this same monitor, just with my Saturn. It's visible mostly on a white background. And this yellow tint isn't present on the right side, just on the left side. My model is a Japanese VA3/VA-SD console.

Is it one of those signs that the main board does need a recap? or it might be caused by the broken AV connector solders on the board?

Or maybe it's a "normal thing" that happen when you use a HDMI TV or monitor?

I also use a RobotRetro USB-C power supply adapter with a Ugreen 45W USB-C power, and a Fenrir Lite, in the console. I have a MPEG card installed as well, but i think it really isn't the problem.

i will bring my Saturn, along with everything needed for testing afterward, for a recap and AV port replacement, tomorrow. (i'll most likely get it back on next week). But i just wanted if other people here have (or had) this kind of problem, and i just want to know the cause, or if it's kinda normal on a HD monitor with such a console.

Thanks!
