which is roughly 10 miles north of LA. Hello all !
a lil about me :

Im Ara , 25 , used to have 10 consoles at one point before I sold some off ( NES, SNES, master system, genesis, TG-16 , PS1, atari 2600, turbo duo , saturn, PS2)

I have a BMW E30 M3 which im getting ready for the track , im a student at Pasadena City College in the automotive technology program with 2 more semesters to go.

I got an open ear for music and my library consists of punk, electro, drum n bass, trance, hardcore, classic rock, experimental, alternative, doo wop, jazz, soul, reggae and underground hip hop.

I have a system 2 japanese saturn and just downloaded BitTorrent and Nero on top of donating my $5 to the site which looks great by the way.

awaiting my modchip from racketboy's site so things should be exciting in a few days =)

hey thanks you guys !

darkNiGHTS : Its sitting on a Eibach springs and Bilsteins, stock brakes, rebuilt engine with a very mild cam upgrade, 2nd oversized pistons, I ported and polished the manifold a bit for smoother air channeling and a custom exhaust setup

Im going to Megasquirt the car which is a standalone unit that takes over your factory ECU and allows you to control fuel and spark timing

should be exciting

thanks dewd, oh and yeah I do have a question, on Nero is there any way to slow down the burn rate to 8x ? sega world's tutorial called for that mentioning the saturn will have a hard time reading the disk?? or will I be fine just using the default setttings on Nero

thanks in advance

Any disc image should be burned as slow as possible. I would recommend using Alcohol 120% for burning images as it will read just about any type and it is easier to configure.

Thanks, Ill download that now....any settings I should look out for....for optimum results ?

Sorry, I don't own a Saturn so I don't know, but for Dreamcast games you can just burn them using the default settings. If you want someone who knows about the saturn, you can drop by our IRC room, neozeed is in there quite often and he knows a lot about the Saturn.

thank you " sir" lol

-ok i stumbled upon a problem:
well I downloaded Alcohol 120% and I when I go to image burning wizard I cant see the RAR files I downloaded from this site :/ ugh i suck at computers.

any push in the right direction would be cool....called my buddy and he mentioned opening the RAR files as ISO and advised I use TOAST to make things easier? ugh

$:-\$

You have to extract the RAR files using WinRAR. Find that in our Tools Download section. You can find it from the forum index near the bottom under the category General Tools.

I'm an old hand at burning Saturn games.

Get yourself a program called SRP (saturn region patcher). Alot of times you'll have to patch the region to match your Saturn's, before you burn the game.

And you got it right about 8x burning. For the longest time, I couldn't get them to work, but burning at 8x fixed all of them.
Nero let's you burn at 8x if you don't have a blank disc in when you go to burn it. Wait till it auto-ejects and asks you to insert the disc.

And welcome!
