Seamless Dual-Functionality Upgrade for the Sega Saturn
The Wuxi ODE Switcher PCB Kit is the ideal solution for Sega Saturn enthusiasts who wish to maintain the console’s original Optical Disc Drive (ODD) while also enjoying the benefits of an internal Optical Drive Emulator (ODE). This device provides true dual-channel switching capability, allowing you to easily alternate between your ODE and the original CD-ROM drive.
Key Features:
-
Dual Functionality: Retain your console's original CD drive while utilizing a compatible Optical Drive Emulator (such as Fenrir or Phoebe).
-
Console Compatibility: Designed for use with the Sega Saturn, supporting both 20-pin and 21-pin drive ribbon connections across all supported console revisions.
-
Flexible Switching: The kit offers multiple ways to toggle the active drive:
- Use the included external switch for immediate channel selection.
- Alternatively, utilize a jumper setting on the PCB that enables switching simply by inserting or ejecting the Micro SD card from the ODE.
-
Complete Kit: Includes the primary Wuxi PCB, connection cables for compatible ODE units (Fenrir/Phoebe), and a large external switch option (requires minor PCB cutting for installation).
- Wuxi 3D Printed Mounting Kit: Includes Wuxi Mount plus 2 styles of parts for the smaller button or larger button (requires extra modification / soldering for larger switch)
- 2 x 20 or 21 Pin FFC Ribbon Cables (see notes below)
Note: Please choose either 20-pin or 21-pin for the FFC ribbon cables required to connect the switcher to the main console board. Please refer to this link for installation guides and revision compatibility.
