Boot ROM User's Manual

• The SEGA SATURN game disc will not start up.

Be sure to include the boot code in the designated location of the SEGA SATURN

game disc. If the boot code cannot be recognized, the game will not start up. See

the Disc Format Standard Specifications (ST-040) document for more details.

• The SEGA SATURN game disc starts up, but does not operate with the mass-production

SEGA SATURN.

The problem is one of the following:

1) The boot code has not been included on the disc..

2) A System Disc is not being used.

The game will not operate if the maker ID is not correctly entered on the disc.

For more information, see the Disc Format Standard Specifications (ST-040)

document.

If there is something wrong with the operation of the SEGA SATURN (besides what is listed

above), press the RESET button or turn the power button off and on. If this does not help,

remove the battery cover and press the master reset switch. (If this is done while game data is

being saved, the data may be lost instead of being saved.)

The function of the target box POWER ON RESET switch is somewhat different than a

normal power on/off cycle. If the POWER ON RESET switch does not work properly,

press the power button off and on.

The target box master reset switch is the SMPC RESET switch.

If the system still does not run normally after the operations above are performed, remove

the power cable from the electrical outlet and contact SEGA Developer Technical Support for

assistance.
