Anyone else have trouble with his chips the last couple of years? I've ordered two of them from him and both have been SOA (SHIT ON ARRIVAL). I noticed both were purple, and had a slightly different pcb layout than my last blue one. I lost the blue one in a shoebox around 10yrs ago. I tried his newer chips on a 32 and 64 pin model 2, and a 20pin model 1. No matter what combo/bridging, US or JP system, nothing worked. The things were fucking DOA. Every month or two I would get up the motivation to try different saturns, different combo's. Nothing seemed to work. A few months after I ordered the 2nd one of his purple chips I sent a email and the response was basically too fucking bad, you must have done something wrong. Mind you I have plenty of soldering experience, have done all sorts of mods, built custom machines etc...The iron I used on the saturns was a 1/64" tip....
In the past I thought he was a decent guy and did a service to the community, but after ordering two chips and getting the shaft on both and no support. I think he's a fucking piece of shit. Should I plan a trip to europe, I know who is on my list to visit. It's only $50 or so, however its the PRINCIPLE.
Who here has managed to get a working chip recently and where did you get it from?
