If you had the action replay cart, you could just leave it in and it would bypass the check altogether. I played burnt discs aplenty on my Saturn.

Simply not true. I own several Saturns and action replays since the 90's.

The Pseudo Saturn Action reply hack to circumvent disc checks was only within recent years released.

Weird. I definitely had a bog-standard Action Replay and most certainly played burnt discs. Perhaps my console was hardmodded, without my knowledge.

(Also, someone had downvoted you, which I disagree with completely. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. So, here's an upvote to balance it out.)
