   Well that's good to know. Yeah, I had played one Japanese game on my modded   
   Saturn so I just assumed the mod chip let me do it. But I guess it would've   
   worked either way. But yes, it does  let you play CD-R games which is   
   extremely handy :)   
      
   And yeah, ebay shut it down that night. If anyone still wants one, I have 2   
   left, I can invoice you through Paypal. Just let me know via ebay by sending   
   me a message or through here.
