Mod chips used to be necessary for playing games on CD-R, but now that can be done with just a 4-in-1 cartridge using the PseudoSaturn hack. My recollection is that Saturn mod chips only defeat the copy protection check and you’d still need another solution (like the 4-in-1 cart) for disabling the region-lock.
To be honest, I haven't even touched my Saturn in 20 years. So I haven't been keeping up with any of the tech available for it. I have tried to keep all of it in good condition, in case my kids ever want to play on it or I donate it to a collector or something.
I'll look up the PseudoSaturn device.
The last few times I've played my Saturn games was on an emulator.
