Excellent mod! I'm hoping to grab a VF stick and I'd really like to try dual-modding it myself, having seen this. Looks like a fun project! I appreciated your mini-review of Layer Section, too, which touched on some of its artistic ambitions and achievements which are usually overlooked. :)
Thanks! It wasn't a particularly difficult mod and the VF stick is still relatively cheap, so I'd say go for it! You have some good gameplay on your channel, I myself recently acquired Darius Gaiden for the Saturn. What an amazing game. When I played Layer Section for the first time I wasn't expecting much based on old magazine reviews, and also how its not talked about as much compared to other Shooters. But it seriously made my jaw drop, its really refined visually and auditorily. Taito was on fire during that time it seems!
@Richard Determann Cheers - I'll definitely give it a go, then! I make minor modifications all the time (stick and button swaps, solder-free PCB changes and rewirings, etc), but this looks a bit more involved so it'll be a good learning experience. Yeah, Taito/Zuntata have always had incredible musicians! If you haven't played them already, I highly recommend checking out the early Darius games, Metal Black, Syvalion, Elevator Action Returns, Puchi Carat, Landmaker, Cleopatra Fortune and Arkanoid Returns just to hear their soundtracks. (It doesn't hurt that they're all fantastic games demonstrating the immense range and variety of Taito's output, either.) :)
Thanks! I'm quite happy with how this mod turned out, I still use it all the time. It would have been nice to have even more system compatibility, but its pretty darn good as is. It can also be used with the Sega Master System as the the Genesis controllers work on that system. Let me know what you plan to do with yours!
I found an adapter for ss to genesis on ali express was not cheap but they are custom made works good no noticeable lag or anything and i can just use it on genesis or unplug adapter and run on saturn
@ no lol its a sketchy listing on aliexpress and there is visible hot glue in the casing lolol i found a forum on how to make an adapter and I think they are making them based on that guide lol
Thanks! I'm not quite sure what you mean though, the Sega Saturn doesn't connect to the internet or atleast not here in the west anyways. And I don't think anyone has created an HDMI solution for the Saturn yet, though I imagine it must have someone working on it
Good stuff, my dude! Love me some Layer Section. TATE mode makes that game look super crisp 👌
Thanks man! Yea that Ikegami monitor in TATE is beautiful! And Layer Section is such a good game, classic for sure.
Great video! Loved the editing and you did an awesome job with the mod, I'm certainly subscribing
Wow, thanks alot!
This is so sick
Thanks!

Great video, bought one recently to do a complete mod. Just wanted to see what you did with it yourself!

@@LowestDifficulty Nice! Did they post any input lag numbers in their data sheets?

@@LowestDifficulty lol! Well if it's working for you that's great!
Fantastic addition to the Sega Saturn! Just curious if you need an HDMI port for internet?

Great mod. Can you explain a little more about the switch?. I made the same mod, but i'm having trouble in Saturn mode with the left and right
Thanks! Its been awhile since I did the mod, but Ill open it up and take a few pictures for you of the connection points I made.
