    Restored my Saturn

    Posted by Brandon Soards on Apr 15th 2023

    The Terraonion MODE brought my Saturn back to life. I didn`t realize how much failing optical sensors and disc rot was weighing on me. After I got this installed, it feels like I have a brand new console. I ordered the Saturn install kit. Screwing into a 3D-printed product was a little rough, but having gotten through it, it does hold the MODE in the Saturn very well. My only wish is that the SD card slot could`ve been mounted closer to the opening of the Saturn, so that I could remove it without taking off the top case. I only load on bin/cues of games I physically own, so it does mean I have to take it apart every time I load a new image.

    Classic gaming, modern convenience

    Posted by Hammer on Mar 23rd 2023

    MODE was super easy to install in a Dreamcast and the optional bracket kept the install clean and tight. The product was delivered quickly and without any issues. Works great with an SSD.

    Outstanding!!!

    Posted by Kep on Mar 10th 2023

    The MODE is outstanding for both the Saturn and Dreamcast. If you have the cash for it, then highly recommend it. Sure it`s not as cheap as the GDEMU or the Fenrir but it certainly pushes your retro consoles to the brink and keeps classic games from our childhood years alive for many years to come.

    Really really nice

    Posted by mugen tenshin on Feb 18th 2023

    This thing is amazing, I love terraonions products but this one is probably my favorite. It was easy to install and get my games on an SD card and just play. Thank you for the fast shipping and great products! I will probably get another one for my Saturn at some point because it is that good.

    Easy Install, Easy to Use

    Posted by Shawn on Mar 7th 2022

    I bought one each for my Saturn and my Dreamcast. Really nice to get rid of drive noise and seek times. Very easy to install, and works with basically every version of the consoles except the VA2 Dreamcast. I used the mounting kits from Laser Bear to make install with SSD super clean while giving me access to the buttons and SD card. Very easy to load games and handles a lot of formats for your games.

    The Pricey but Excellent MODE

    Posted by Adam Ross on Mar 7th 2022

    I own two of these products now. One for my dreamcast and the other for my Saturn. I've had ZERO issues with the MODE. It's easy to set up and i've run into no compatibility issues whatsoever. IMO it's the best way to experience the Saturn library since most of the best games cost well over the price of the MODE. Dreamcast provides a great experience as well. I hope to get another for my Playstation at some point.
