Right, the Saturn just like early versions of the PS1 had an opening for the famous "swap trick". I never used it myself other than on the PS1.

- jmkni 4y agoIIRC you could do something similar with Action Replay, you would load into the Action Replay UI, swap out the disc and then boot into a pirated game
- ericlewis 4y agops2 slim also had the disc swap trick
- deaddodo 4y agoIf you had the action replay cart, you could just leave it in and it would bypass the check altogether. I played burnt discs aplenty on my Saturn.
- Grazester 4y agoSimply not true. I own several Saturns and action replays since the 90's. The Pseudo Saturn Action reply hack to circumvent disc checks was only within recent years released.
- deaddodo 4y agoWeird. I definitely had a bog-standard Action Replay and most certainly played burnt discs. Perhaps my console was hardmodded, without my knowledge. (Also, someone had downvoted you, which I disagree with completely. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. So, here's an upvote to balance it out.)
- justinhj 4y agoHa yes I remember this. There was a physical mod that allowed the disk door to be opened without the ps1 noticing so you could switch disks after the verification
- jcpham2 4y agoPurchasing Verbatim purple bottom CDR blanks to copy original PSX games was my introduction to piracy. I was quite young. Those first gen Playstations with the port in the back were amazing easy to mod with the action replay or just the swap trick. I also jumped on the XBMC and Xecutor modchip for the original Xbox when that came out. Another mind blowing time in computer gaming.
