Simple adapter to fit a PicoPSU to a Sega Saturn to replace the original power supply. Uses original power supply mounting position and screws while the PicoPSU is held by a clip-in holder. Needs an MTA-156, 5 position rectangular receptacle connector IDC Tin 24 AWG with optional dust cap (Conrad part numbers 1278395 - 62 and 1278433 - 62 | Digi-Key part numbers A31631-ND and A19803-ND), or you can re-use the original connector if you desolder it from the original power supply PCB.

Post-Printing

In difference to the DreamCast version, you can use the power switch to cut the power on the input lines of the PicoPSU, as the presence of a reset switch on the Saturn prevents the need to power cycle the console. In this case, short pins 15 and 16 on the PicoPSU (ground & PS ON), for example using a simple wire pushed in the sockets, like I did. Alternatively, you can solder the original power switch to the pins 15 and 16 on the PicoPSU.
