    Genesis Model 2 Mods/Repairs?

    I know theres a list of upgrades for the model 1s, but is there anyone dedicated to modding/repairing Model 2s at all? If so, what all is upgradeable on the Gen 2s? Just curious...thanks! -Ben

    S video mods are possible on every model 2 that has a Sony CXA 1645 or 1145 video encoder, which is most of them. 1645's are easier to mod, however.

    You can also upgrade the audio to mega-amp quality. It sounds incredible!

    Model 2's generally can be overclocked, but results are hit-and-miss. (Glitches freezes, lower overclock capability etc.)

    Model 2's can be region modded, but I don't know a lot about that.
    Modded consoles:
    Master System (v7040) with s-video & direct AV out
    Model 1 with 10mhz overclock & halt switches
    Model 1 with 10mhz 68010
    Model 2 VA2.3 with unfiltered Mega Amp, & s-video
    Model 3 VA1 with compatibility fixes & s-video
    32X with s-video

    Or my collection of homebrew Genesis games, programs, and music on SEGA-16!

    There's a few of us here. Just depends on who you want to do your work. I'm finishing up about 6 different systems that I need to roll out soon, so I have about a 2-4 week lead time. Not sure about anyone else.

    My personal favorite mods are the Mega Amp and Neptunizing it. Video mods are kinda meh, the system outputs an excellent RGB image so you should really use it if possible.
