I just opened the console and cleaned the port and memory cartridges and it still won’t read.
I reckon the hardware is getting too old.
However, I prefer the original hardware without any fancy upgrades like a new operating system.
Pieces are also chipping off inside and I just had my Dad fix the power cable port by gluing a piece back on there to fix the power cable usage.
Thoughts?
New OS what do you mean? My SS has a fenrir and a working memory card slot and I still find it a pita dealing with saves on this console. Luckily batsugun doesn't really need all that much save wise.
I want to preserve my system without updating it.
That's fair enough. I had no nostalgia for it and came across one cheap console with a broken power supply. Swapped that out then upgraded it. The price of games for the system are pretty crazy especially for Shmups.
I do quite enjoy it though I had a play station growing up and if I had the choice again it would be the PS. Though the Sega saturn is a neat machine and it does have some interesting games.
