Sega Saturn consoles
From Sega Retro
After some brooding over this, I finally remembered the problem I had encountered when I added most of the models. It’s about the white Saturn, model 1. I never found much information about it but the fact that it exists and a couple of scattered images. The designation is a mystery too. Confirmation of existence: http://segasaturn.co.uk/hardware/sega_saturn_consoles.html amongst others. Never posted the sources either, here we go. Sources:
- http://www.docstoc.com/docs/15185020/HARDWARE-SATURN/
- http://www.ruliweb.com/ruliboard/read.htm?main=ac&table=ma_saturn&left=i&db=2&sort=visit&num=287
- Another Japanese site that listed some prices and release dates which I can’t find anymore. The only one not present in the rest has a (?) next to it.
Someone with some knowledge of Japanese please check it, as the second site is in Japanese and there is stuff I can’t figure it out. Besides that, conflicting info that I came across with:
- HST-0001 – From the sources I pulled, the book tells me there were two 0001, HST-3200 and HST-3210 and it also mentions two versions for the BIOS, which I suppose it’s for 3200 and 3210. The Japanese site says HST-0001 is HST-3200 and has BIOS 1.00 while HST-0004 is HST-3210 and has BIOS 1.01. I thought book was right and put it up (since it has Sega sources after all) but I still think Japanese site makes more sense.
- Victor JX1-L and S – Not sure which is which, since long box is said to be L in book while Japanese sites shows a square box, but that one doesn’t make a distinction between L and S, so both might be right. Again there’s the BIOS mix up with both though, book says L and S have 1.00 or 1.01 but Japanese might make a distinction and there are two cited, one is 1.00 and the other is 1.01. Maybe L and S?
- Hitachi MMP-1 – Confusing release date, went with the one on the book (01-04-1995 VS 22-04-1995).
- Navi – Several info in the Japanese site which can help enrich the article. Seems like the LCD could be bought separetly, or it came in a different box?
