The basic theory is simple: There are jumpers on the Saturn mainboard which tell the OS what country it is running in. Changing these jumpers will make the Saturn believe it is running in another country, allowing you to run imported software. It will NOT work for copied software (Software pirates must die!), nor will it translate your games from Japanese to English. | The basic theory is simple: There are jumpers on the Saturn mainboard which tell the OS what country it is running in.

+ | This table lists the jumpers that should be CLOSED to set a certain region. | ||
+ | Note: I (phreak97) Just modded an early Japanese saturn which had JP6 and JP7 reversed. It took me ages to figure out that it was set to south america instead of USA. | ||
+ | You can tell if yours is reversed by confirming the jumper positions before you start. This console according to the jumper labels appeared to be set to "Do Not Use" but was actually set to Japan as it should have been. | ||
