Line 1: Line 1:
[[Sega Saturn]] consoles released in Asian countries (other than Japan and South Korea) are similar to Japanese consoles. They use the same region code, bios, body design and output NTSC video. The main difference is the power supply, which can range from 200v to 240v. The boxes and manuals are also completely in English. Hong Kong received a special Video CD model that included a very late version of the [[Video CD Card]] that was exclusive to this console.

[[Sega Saturn]] consoles released in Asian countries (other than Japan and South Korea) are normal Japanese units, with different boxing only, and a 220v power supply. These units all have their model numbers end in -07. Not much to say about these, their boxes and manuals were in English instead of Japanese. They are a nice option if you live in PAL land but want a 60hz machine without modding, as their 220v power supply makes voltage converters unnecessary. They had counterparts for almost every Japanese boxed release. Known motherboards are VA0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 13, and 15. The last few units came with Video CD cards preinstalled, and had a red "Video CD" label on the console and the boxing had unique yellow colors instead of white.
