 ===Modchips===
 The Playstation 1 and Sega Saturn require the installation of Mod Chips to run burned disks. New Playstation 1 and Saturn chips can be made brand new as their code is available and [http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/zer0-2k11s-mod-chip-and-installation-shop.43131/ are purchasable pre-made from threads such as this].<br />
-For the Sega Saturn, you also want to get an "Action Replay 4M Plus" cart to remove the region lock (chips don't do this), provide extra RAM to games that use it and serve as a save backup cart. Search EBay for "Saturn Action Replay".

 '''Mega Everdrive'''
-The more expensive option due to improved hardware and functionality. The argument for picking this model over the Everdrive revolves around the addition of the USB port, save states and faster loading due to being a ROMcart instead of a flashcart (a side effect is that it will not get worn out due to numerous reflashing). It also has the option of using Micro SD in addition to SD Card for the removable media.
