I’ve managed to get more time to play with my USB-GDRom. Its a great device and well worth the cost at the moment. Its replaced my Dreamshell setup as by default Dreamcast system.

Click here, or the images above to read my full findings. Now i’m just hoping for a bit of time to enjoy this before my PSIO arrives.
I’ve just finished installing an RGB video mod in a 3DO for a customer. The Panasonic FZ-1 already has composite and s-video but RGB makes for a much sharper image.

Its not an install for beginners but well worth the effort.
Busy busy as always. I’ve just finished another switchless combo mod for a customer. This is a Megadrive, MegaCD and 32X all working in harmony with a central switchless mod.

Just hold the RESET button to switch the whole setup between PAL, NTSC US and NTSC JAP. Also 50/60hz can be switched in any region with a shorter press of the RESET button. the Mega CD BIOS is also switched to match the Megadrive settings.

The MegaCD processor board has also been recapped as the Capacitors always start failing and often damage the board. 32X was also recapped on request of the customer.

Please note. Commission work like this can take some time, and time isn’t something I always have available.
Very exciting stuff. I just got a USB-GDROM board this week. If you’ve not heard of it before, Its a drive drive replacement board for the Sega Dreamcast that allows you to load games directly of a USB stick or HDD. Its got far less limitations than the GDEMU which only uses SD cards.

I’ll be doing a proper article on its installation and usage soon.

This was a new one to me. A couple of Mega Drive 2’s with damaged cartridge connectors. I removed and installed replacements to get these systems working again.

After a very busy couple of months, I’m back to normal operations and able to accept repair and recap jobs again if needed.
Jut completed a Unibios install for a customer, and I spotted that I didn’t have any photos on here showing the installation in the Neo-Geo CD Toploader version.

Last month Razoola released a milestone release version of the universe BIOS.
This release contains a new colour scheme, bug fixes, new features and updates to the cheat database. Click here for a full changelog.
So far this release is for the MVS and AES hardware only. CD release is still v3.3.
