I doubt you'll find any in the US. You'll most likely have to order one from overseas.

But, the swap trick is very easy to do (regardless of the version). Once I got the hang of it, I could do it every single time.

Maybe you should post this to the GameCube , Dreamcast & others-forum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Damn, nes6502! I thought you would take a small vacation! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[edit]
I see you are already working again on ZSNEXBOX 1.5. Take care that you still like the project and don't spend every last minute of your free time on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I still like it. Especially since I fixed the crash bug. That was a big boost of motivation for me.

But it gradually kills your cd drive right? I only got the swap trick to work like twice out of 50 times, lol. I'm amazed how you got to perfect it.

It does put more wear and tear on the CD drive and it did take a lot of practice. You essentailly learn the sound of the CD lens moving back and forth. After several failed tries, I figured the timing out and could do it 9 out of 10 times.

After clicking on that link, i have finally bitten the bullet and ordered a saturn mod chip. I figure its the only way i will ever be able to play radiant silvergun on my tv anytime i want. Nonetheless, im excited. Now i can give my pro action replay a rest to play import games, too.
