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.
All new installation requests for the Unibios will be version 4.0.
I’m currently at full capacity for booked in jobs, and instead of telling people to expect a 2 month+ wait time to get their console back, I’ve decided to temporally stop accepting booking for now.
I’m delighted that I’ve been getting so many repair request, and I’m always happy to help people with their consoles, but for now I need to concentrate on clearing the backlog.
Thanks for your understanding. If you still need to contact me for help, advice or recommendations on your consoles or projects, please do so.
Just installed a FM sound modulator in a customers Sega Master System. This upgrade adds back the original FM sound system that was removed from PAL and US Master System consoles. Plenty of games still have the code to play music and effects in FM. Check out this video with a comparison of the original PSG tunes to the FM version.
It sounds really good in FM mode.
Take a look at a couple more “Switchless” mod installations I’ve been working on.
First is the original Sega Master System. Holding the RESET button switches between 50/60hz.
Second is the monster Sega Mega Drive + Mega CD + 32X. Region and video settings are all controlled via the reset button
