Saturn Country Converter v 1.2 (c) 2000 TyRaNiD
-----------------------------------------------

This is a simple program to modify the country on saturn cds to allow you to play them
on your sega saturn console. 

NOTE this program will not allow you to defeat the copy protection. You will need to be
able to perform the swap method or have a mod-chip installed to allow you to play the 
backups made with this program. 

-= Whats New =-

Version 1.2 : Added a batch mode, fix for linkle liver story and a header display.

-= Usage =-

First u need a saturn iso. It can be in a raw format (mode1/2352) normally a bin/cue
format or a cooked format (mode1/2048), normally with extension iso.

While it will work with raw files such as bin I dont give any assurances of it working
correctly due to the ecc codes not being modfied. As long as your writer corrects them
(which all should) u shouldnt have a problem.

To convert the file. from the DOS prompt type 

satconv.exe infile [options] 

where infile is the name of the iso to patch. 
This program uses the cwsdpmi server. To run the program u must either have the cwsdpmi.exe
file in ur dos path or in the directory. If running in a windoze dos prompt it doesnt 
matter as windoze has its own dpmi server.  

The options are as follows

-r  : Remove all but one country letter. This is apparently necessary for Linkle Liver
story when patching for European Machines

-cX : Specify the country from the command line where X is the country letter. By 
specifying the country letter satconv will go into batch mode where you have no 
control over the program. Should only be used if u know what u are doing and mainly
in a batch program. Valid country letters are :-

J - For JAPAN                 
T - For TAIWAN and PHILIPINES
U - For USA and CANADA
B - For BRAZIL
K - For ASIA PAL area
A - For KOREA
E - For EUROPE
L - For LATIN AMERICA

The program returns 0 on success and 1 on error for u batch writers.

-d  : Just display header info and exit. Does exactly what is says on the tin :)

Now note that unlike the previous version, all modifications take place on the 
single input file for speed reasons. Plz make sure u backup your iso just in case
this program does something wierd and destroys ur iso (very unlikely but u cant be too
careful).

As long as u aint in batch mode just follow the onscreen instructions. 

This program only patches the first country in the header. Most of the time there is only 
one country code in the header but if there is more than one it shoudlnt make a difference 
to the programs operation. However linkle liver story apparently does so for patching that
game it is apparently advised to use the above -r command.

-= Disclamier =-

I do not give any warranty as to this program actually working. Ive converted about 6
gamez with it now and they all work 100% but that doesnt mean there arent gamez out 
out there which will not work.

-= Greetz =- 

Big 'ello to all da ppl from SegaXtreme!!! 
Various other ppl, I cant be bothered mentioning.. 

-= Contact Infomation =-

If u really need to contact me then my email address is : TyRaNiD@020.co.uk. 
Dont bug me for trivial shit like if I am doing a new version etc as the only 
new version which might appear will be because of a bug in the program.
