Really liking these Mega/Sega CD videos. Not very many of them around, and you provide great insight. When I get around to buying one, I'll remember to come back to these videos. Cheers.
+Keyshen Thanks again! Yep the poor old Mega CD doesn't get much love does it? I have made this video and also one on replacing the laser you might want to check out. I'll do one final video on replacing the fuse.
Hi, can you tell me where does those gray and black cables from the connection board are soldered? I have a similar mega cd (also japanese) that has many problems, I repaired the power supply board, the tray has issues but most important, the connection board doesn't work (it has the same cables that go to the small board with the oscillator) and the main board doesn't work neither. I have a working sega cd and I've been swapping the parts to test it. If I use the sega cd connection board on the mega cd I get the boot screen with no sound or movement. Anyway, I wanted to know if those cables are in the right pins, somebody has been working on this console before me. Thanks!
Megastaw Its really tough now as they are mostly all thrown out. Have you ready my guide? www.retrosales.com.au/blogs/retro-gaming-news/rgb-scart-tv-hunting-guide
This one is perfect E3000 chassis. www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/langwarrin/entertainment-tv-units/tv-side-cabinets-in-country-style/1159533081?.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/langwarrin/entertainment-tv-units/tv-side-cabinets-in-country-style/1159533081
@@RetroSalesAustralia cool. Cheers. What I would really love to see is how to control mega cd multi region bios with a mega drive switchless mod. D4S code preferably. No one has put up a decent guide yet anywhere online.
Wait, so doesn't the MegaCD/SegaCD have copy protection, so like i could download and burn games without needing a modchip(apart from the region free bios that is)?
I will list up a few EPROMS flashed with various code and you can pick the one you need. I highly recommend this region free Sega CD one though as it works perfectly.
The Mega drive region should match the CD region, but then it will boot any game. So if you installed a Japanese region free BIOS it would work perfectly with your unmodified Mega Drive and allow you to play CD games for all regions
Wow this is awesome. Your model 1 sega cd is incredible shape!
Works great with the newer GQ-4x4, that byte swap button is sweet

In the video you said you would post a link to the roms. There is no link! Please provide a link.
So if I install a physical switch to my genesis, would the only thing I need to do is to just solder the eprom chip?
Did anyone else hear Sonic Mania’s Title Music at 21:42 ?
You should replace those Stock caps before they start leaking...
Yes I should! I have a pile of consoles that need attention... I mean about 45 at last count. Time...
Is it possible to erase and reflash the original BIOS chip via GQ-4X ? Thanks.
How did you manage to find a scart TV in australia? It's driving me nuts

Thanks heaps. I'm just waiting on the owner to reply. Crossing my fingers! If I manage to grab it do you mind if I ask you some more questions?
Megastaw He’s asking too much, so try and get it for $50. Test the image as well via RGB. Ask me anything.
Can this adapter do Saturn bios chips? Cheers
Damn Deal Done yes sure can. I’m making a video on it soon.

Will this mod work with an un modified Japanese megadrive?
