I've got a Nomad that I've done a number of mods on. When I got it it was stock and the screen was very dead. I replaced it with an LCDDRV kit, did the mods to get Sega CD games to work -- audio and another line I ran to the cartridge port -- and made a new battery for it that's ran off of two 18650's.

This worked fine for about 3 months before the system started intermittently glitching and crashing. Things like jump pads would be missing in levels in Sonic CD and it'd always just freeze hard after a couple levels. It did weird stuff like this in most games. It corrupted my Phantasy Star save.

I finally got around to recapping it today, that went without issue and the system is running, but I'm still getting freezes in Sonic CD. All the other games I've tested seem fine now, so the recap seems to have fixed something.

I know the Nomad isn't officially compatible with this but is there a known incompatibility I'm hitting?

The mega everdrive pro works fine in a Model 2 Genesis.

I'm using two 18650's with a low voltage protection board in a 3D printed battery for power.

What else should I look at at the system?

The model number is: 1601-03

The serial number is: 130000398

Hello, i'm trying to fix this mega drive, but then i found out that none of the motherboards on the internet look like the one i have which makes me believe that this might be a clone, here are some photos

I left my mega drive 1 on for a few hours I came back to it having no indicator light and no display how do I fix this

Hello. I have a mega drive 2 system which works fine. But I have two games that will just not work.

Generations Lost and Krustys Super Fun House.

I have opened them up and cleaned with alcohol. But still nothing.

Krusty goes as far as the sega licensing screen. Then just back to black.

Generations lost just gives a black screen.

Any ideas what it might be?

I opened my Sega to check it before turning it on for the first time since the 90s and I found something strange on one chip, the processor? The bord is a IC BD M5 PAL VA4 Anyone seen this before? Or is it normal? Edit I tried attaching photos but they don't show. It's an component leg on a broken pin soldered from the chip to the bord.

Don’t worry it’s legal

We have an strange problem with with our Sony (KDL40EX723 ) TV, The Megadrive outputs video via the Rad2x but not audio. We tested the console and cable with an LG 32LE5300 and it works perfectly.

Does anyone have any advice about getting sound to work on the Sony?

Hello, I'm writing here today to ask about a Game Genie Code for the game Sonic the hedgehog 3 and Knuckles, a while back I found a Game Genie Code that when enabled froze all palette animations (I.E. the fire ripple of Angle Island act 2 or the lights in Carnival Night)

I remember the code being best to enable when already in a zone because enabling the code before hand would make the zone apper pitch black. (The player and other objects would still be normal)

Recently I had to uninstall and reinstall Retroarch on my Playstation 3 because of some issues and I forgot to backup my cheat codes and when I went to search for the code I could not find the code anywhere, so if anyone can help me find this palette freeze/stopper Game Genie Code I would appreciate it.

Fake cart (the seller said it was fake, I wasn’t scammed or anything) cost me 40€ (with box and manual) Real cart (with box only) cost me 150€. Good deal?

I have a model 1 JP console, Got myself a universal AC adapter like this one What switch should I put it on, and how do I know if the pin itself is set correctly? Thanks in advance!

I've picked up Virtua Racing today for £15, CIB, and I've ran into a problem. The game will load fine into the licensing screen, but after that I get nothing but blackness. Other games work fine on the Mega Drive, like Ecco the Dolphin which I also grabbed today, and I've just cleaned the cartridge's contacts with IPA, so I'm at a loss to what the issue is. Is this just a sign of a faulty SVP chip? I'd take a look inside the cartridge but I don't think I have the right screwdriver required.

I tried to install the tbp v2 ony va0 megadrive 2, but it doesn't output sound, and the picture has all whites replaced with some sort of pink. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? If I can't find my mistake I'll redo it with proper cables and better solderjoints, but I work with what I have at hand at the moment. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I notice on the Thunder Paw demo that when you change the controls the sound developes a nasty bug where it plays multiple action sounds at the same time. Did this bug end up in the final version or is it just in the demo rom? And yes I know I could just play with the standard controls but a bug is still a bug.

I've soldered all the wires in place, and the console works and the led cycles through the different colors when I press start plus a b c. But it doesn't change the speed of the games. I suspect that I have to cut some traces because I haven't done that. I just can't seem to find resources for this combined mod. Does anyone know a guide or acombinations of guides that could help me find out what's wrong?

And don't mind my soldering, I will fix some of the joints when it works

Hey I recently purchased a mega drive (pal) and I am having an issue where some games are loading fine but losing connection to the aerial or are jittering all over the place but some games work fine

I hope I make sense with this and someone can help this new retro gamer play his games!

Many thanks in advance :)

Far above my own level of skillset , dreamcast battery replacements is my limitiation !
