I just so happened to run into this video and let me just say, I am sooo happy you aren't one of those channels that dips the board into soapy water and then acts like it works afterwards lol thank you for not messing with my feelings like that lol
Bad ass...but you should have made a gold ring around the cartridge instead of doing ALL blue. It looks like it would have been one of the rings he collects. Still a phenomenal job on the restoration.👍🏻💫
This has inspired me to do my Sega Genesis as well. I'm going for Mortal Kombat's Scorpion with the colors. Only thing that sucks is I cannot replicate the stickers on the back since I don't have a machine to do it.
Bro this channel needs more subscribers,what a amazing work. I subscribed bro,keep up the good work. It is so nice to see old consoles geting new life,as a retrogamer,this video makes me happy :)
This was an awesome restoration of such an amazing system I’ve always wanted a genesis I have some of my dads old games and a remote but the genesis is lost sadly Sonic Is my favorite series and the customization you put on this console was amazing! I subscribed Liked and Left this comment I like how you made the top blue as well I think it matches the other colors well!
Find & Restore It has some Great games Like Sonic The hedgehog 1,2 and 3(and knuckles) Streets of rage 2 mortal kombat Puyo Puyo and many more classics!
Cool restoration video.I never seen a Sega Genesis being restored and customize so wonderful and even better, I like the color blue! I hope I win the giveaway 🎮😁🤞🤞✌️
I love the restoration....brings me back memories of my genesis and Snes days...can you restore nes and the Sega master system...i know these systems were before some people's time but I remember having these...
I find the hardware design of the Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast much more innovative than its contemporaries. Yeah, I have a strong passion for my Sega consoles and games.
Awesome video. I much prefer the model 1 Genesis personally, due to it's superior sound. Still though, those who haven't played the Sega Genesis are missing out a library of great games and a controller that's actually extremely comfortable.
The bad sound actually began with Model 1 revision VA7, was carried over to Model 2 revisions VA0 to VA2.3 and was made "less worse" in Model 2 revisions VA3 and VA4.
I plan on doing a restoration of my SNES that my dad smashed when I was a kid. I want to paint it because the shell has holes that need to be filled and painted over. In my opinion, I think a shell should only be painted if it has cracks or holes that you patch up, and painting it will cover the repair work.
@@princegroove Yes, I came home from school one day, back in the 90's, and wanted to play games and my TV wasn't working right, so I would hit it on the side thinking that would help, so for some reason I gave it a shove and it hit the wall, and put a hole in the drywall. So my dad decided to punish me by smashing my SNES. He bought me a new one a few months later, but I also kept the first one even though it didn't work. I guess I'm sentimental. But I'm glad I kept it, because years later, I became interested in restoration.
That soldering tip though. You should clean the cartridge connector with sand paper and use a paper clip to push the contacts closer to each other. That way no more blowing on the games and no more freezes if you bump the console.
As far as official Sega goes, the Master System Converter II can be imported from Europe or Australia and works on the Genesis 2. It's inconvenient to use the same Mega Drive / Genesis for Master System and 32X though anyway, because it won't run Master System games with the 32X installed.
Don’t waste your time using a bud to clean the pcb....simply use water and a brush. Then dry it using a hair dryer and leave for a day or two to dry naturally. I have done this with many arcade pcb’s and even monitor chassis. Works a treat and boards come up like new 😋
Hello, What do you use to create the stickers on the back of the console and especially how do you make the genesis and sega logos ? Thanks in advance for the answer. You are doing a good job.
The only thing I would have done different is to buff that clear coat. I imagine you cleared it too right? You have that orange peel look going and if you buff clear coat really well, you can get it to a glass finish, especially if you wet sand with 1000 grit wet sandpaper then buff with a wax.
Very good painjob, but it pains me a bit to see a perfectly fine original shell for a console that is getting rarer by the day get painted over. I think a good alternative is just getting a reproduction shell of the console and paint it over that, that way you can always revert the console to original if you want.
Dont get me wrong at what I'm about to say. It's obvious that you love what your doing but in one sector you need a lot of practice and to be exact you need practice at how to properly solder. You will need flux, solder wire, proper soldering iron, practice and a proper way to avoid inhaling the fumes. Have a nice day, Keep up the good work.
congratulations on the work, very beautiful customization. I'm from Brazil and do some customizations. what kind of paper did you use on the Sega and Genesis logo?
Hi, I would to personalize my old consoles for myself. Could you give some advice how to chose the right type of primer and paints please? P.S. You are doing amazing things.
Hello I am new newly subscribed greetings from beautiful chili the restoration of a sega genesis model 2 the sega genesis 2 sonic the hedgehog edition 😀
Nice work as always!🔥🔥 I was wondering cause I want to do a custom job on one of my Sega Genesis consoles, 1. What program did you use to print out the Sega Genesis logos? 2. Where those new labels on the bottom that you made yourself as well, if so we're they the same program or whatever that you used for the logos on the top
I'm surprised SEGA never tried this, considering Sonic is their mascot. This would've sold like hotcakes.
most likely not, as alternate colored versions were usually just a handheld thing, and didn’t pop off with consoles until the n64
@@mult1versal they had the pikachu n64... it was rare tho
with a Tails & Knuckles Genesis controller Close to it.
There's texture from the blue spraypaint. You can clearcoat afterwards, then lightly wet sand and polish to get rid of that texture.
The blue and red gives it this old school vibe great colour choice, Shudve done the controller aswell same colour, Looks too nice man
I think it would be better with a Tails and Knuckles custom controller
I just so happened to run into this video and let me just say, I am sooo happy you aren't one of those channels that dips the board into soapy water and then acts like it works afterwards lol thank you for not messing with my feelings like that lol

Try going on Etsy! I found a store that does custom vinyl prints
You've got me started on a new hobby. Awesome work.
The color on this "Restoration" is lit... Great work.

That looks sick bro awsome job
Thanks bro! ✌🏻
Beautiful!!!
Congratulations!!!

Niceeee work!! Congratulations!!
Genesis 5, alive. No disassemble.
THAT'S MY MAN, PLAYING SONIC TWO ON A SEGA GENESIS
Would love to have one of your consoles the work you put into them is amazing well done 👍
This is a cool restoration
Your work is impressive - enjoying your videos
Glad you enjoy it! 👍🏻

Great work ... you're an artist!
Looks better than the original one 👍🏽 great job
Looks nice but I dont like that the black shiny rim arround the top was painted blue with the rest of the console. It would of looked better in red.
👍🏻👍🏻
I like it
Good job
I may do this to mine thanks you gave me a creative idea
VERY GOOD TO WATCH AND LERNER FROM TOUR VIDEOS THANKS
Great job .you need to do a sega master
Great work.. I would definitely buy that :-)
Thanks! 👍🏻
I think if you ever got around to doing that, you could make a "Tails" coloured 32X and a Knuckles coloured Sega CD/CD2 lol
so beautiful))
super clean resto...
Almost wish it was a Sega Genesis Model 1. You get to use all the attachments Sega made. Sega CD, Sega 32X, and the Power Base Converter.
As far as official Sega goes, the Master System Converter II can be imported from Europe or Australia and works on the Genesis 2.
It's inconvenient to use the same Mega Drive / Genesis for Master System and 32X though anyway, because it won't run Master System games with the 32X installed.
Fantastic job!
Man this makes me want to find a old Sega and customize it
Gorgeous.
Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
If this was the 90s you would have made a lot of money reselling custom segas
Dude he could make a killing right now.
Good work
Thank you so much 😀

Yuji Naka is so proud of you son 😃
Oooh now we need a tails version, a knuckles one, an eggman one or Dr. Robotnik if you knew him that way, a Amy one and others in case if I forgot one
Man, that thing can be sold with high price or keep it for your son.
Thanks man! 👍🏻

damn this is cool..i wish i could this kind of stuff..
Any console Restorations would be good for me, particularly broken or cracked shell rebuilds as there doesnt seem to be many of these
beautiful
Nice restoration!
Hello,
What do you use to create the stickers on the back of the console and especially how do you make the genesis and sega logos ?
Thanks in advance for the answer.
You are doing a good job.
Hi, I did the labels in photoshop, same fonts, same sizes, same colors. For the logos I used may Cricut vinyl cutter machine. 👍🏻
I love this
It looks really nice but it could hurt the resell value a bit unless u keep it for ur self but still looks rly gud
But great job!
The only thing I would have done different is to buff that clear coat. I imagine you cleared it too right? You have that orange peel look going and if you buff clear coat really well, you can get it to a glass finish, especially if you wet sand with 1000 grit wet sandpaper then buff with a wax.
Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻
Very.very beautiful you the best you number one congratulations
Thanks👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
good content of restoration😁😁👍👍
Thanks, welcome to the channel! 👍🏻👍🏻
It looks way better than the original, hope some day you'll customize the dreamcast
I’m sure I will! Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I cleaned the model 2 Genesis before I had mine from Disc Replay in Livonia Michigan
This was great 👍. You should do the 💿 cd and 32x the same color.
Another project Saturn and dreamcast the same way..
Anyone else forget he was going to paint it, then totally freak out when he started sanding?
you just got new sub after i see this vid
Thanks a lot! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My favourite form of Megadrive/Genesis
Good job I never liked that model genesis until today!
Thanks! 👍🏻
very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!

Great restoration!! What cleaner do you use to clean the parts?
Hi, purple power
I love the color scheme I just wish the paint wasn't so glossy. Other than that a solid 10/10!!!
Now a PS3 fat please! Better if it is that one with backwards compatibility, it's gonna be gorgeus, no doubt. Really nice work btw!
Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks! Yes, vinyl 👍🏻
UAUUUUU!, ficou top...Parabens!
Obrigado amigo! 👍🏻👍🏻

2. Where those new labels on the bottom that you made yourself as well, if so we're they the same program or whatever that you used for the logos on the top
Hi, To print the logos I used my Cricut machine. The bottom labels are the originals.
How badly should I be concerned that the paint would fill in things like the “Cartridge Input” lettering on the shell?
What kind of decals did you use for the Genesis & Sega logos? Great work, btw.
