The Swap trick doesn't defeat territorial lockouts if I remember correctly. It's more for bootlegged games. There is a program that can change the territorial code on Saturn games, though...

Oh, I think I'd be better off just spending the $15 for a 4-in-1. I was hoping for a free way of playing Blazing Tornado, which I've had for about a year now, but if I've waited this long, a little bit longer won't kill me.

Or you could download it off the internet. PM me if you want some links.

Bojack, do not get your hopes up concerning Drac X SS.

Here's the advantages the Saturn version has:
Rainbow Cloak
Two new areas
some new weapons
ability to fly forever in bat form, compared to short spurts
ability to choose to play as Maria, Richter, or Alucard right from the start
hidden .bmp files on the disc

Here's the disadvantages the Saturn version has:
Horrible horrible horrible shitty slowdown
Horrible horrible horrible shitty transparencies and other graphical oddities
Horrible horrible horrible shitty loading (especially when you want to use the map)
New areas aren't really interesting
Playing as Maria sucks

As far as I'm concerned, the negative points far outweigh the positive ones.

Also, there is a sound test right off the menu. I wouldn't go too far out of your way for it if you don't already have a Saturn and you have the PSX version. But there are about a thousand other reasons to have a saturn that can play imports. The 4-in-1 is the best way to go, in my opinion, I don't recommend hotswapping. And yes, just to re-emphasize: Duo CD's have no region lockout, nor do Neo Geo cd's for that matter. PC-Engine Hucards do, though.

Yeah, hotswapping is how I destroyed my first Saturn.
