[iR0b0t]

The dumping method is pretty much the same like years ago, with advanced use of DIC.
F1ReB4LL will be answering your question more detailed if he read this, or you contact him privately.

Just repeating myself to bump your question.

never got a PM.  Could someone please hit me with the proper instructions for dumping saturn games?

We use the DIC method now and a Plextor with  px_d8 support. See the DiscImageCreator thread for the actual program and instructions, and keep the log files.

That thread is QUITE long and doesn't seem to provide explicit instructions on how to rip each format, in its own section to make things clearer.

If there any way of getting individual system instructions at all?

I have Saturn, Sega CD, Dreamcase, PC-Engine CD/Turbo CD, CD-I, 3DO, and Neo Geo CD that I'd like to dump in some recognized format on a regular basis.
