Crystal Clear Audio Mod for Sega Mega Drive 2 & Genesis 2, version 1.0

[retrogamer343]

Well I'm asking $30 shipped. This is more than I wanted to ask for but these take a LONG TIME to build. I will eventually make an smd version that should take a little less time (less holes to drill) and the pcb should be smaller but it's going to take a month or two to gather all the parts needed and redo my design.

So can this mod be carried out on a genesis 3 console?

I don't think so, but even if it could it wouldn't matter. The model 3 already got great sound, its only problem is that it outputs mono only.

[TmEE]

It works on Genny3, you only need a minor modification : replace 22K resistors for 100K ones.

[Drakon]

That's cheap. I had someone offer to pay me 150$ to build it (this was before I'd bothered building one so I didn't take the offer).

Yea $150 is a bit overkill. I like to offer things at a decent price. I wanted to offer this for $20 shipped but like I said these things take a couple of days to build from start to finish. Even at $30 i'm only making a couple of dollars an hour with labor. But I do enjoy doing this stuff and want to offer these types of services at a reasonable price.

I WANT ONE OF THESE!

Replace the resistors on the actual genesis 3 or on the CCAM PCB mob? Would this give stereo sound back to the genesis 3 or does it require further modification?

[BlockABoots]

If anyone is interested I am making CCAM pcb's. They are not professional but work great.

I would be interested in defo 2 maybe 3 devices, depending on weather its worth adding one to a Genesis/MegaDrive 1 console?

I would want 1 with the Genesis 3 modification, replace 22K resistors for 100K ones as TmEE suggested and the other 2 as normal. Seeing as im buying 3 would you do a discount on the price, say $75 if having 3 pcbs or $50 if having 2?

[Drakon]

In bulk I guess I can understand that price. But doing a one off everything by hand the price shouldn't be that low, unless yo're doing it out of passion.

Depending on whether. Asking for a bulk discount for something that's already super discounted is a bit rude don't you think?

If you dont ask you dont get.....and then you dont always get!

What a nice board...

[Joe Redifer]

It is a nice board. Can that work with a model 1 Genesis, say, VA2?

[evildragon]

I would like to see a CCAM for a model 1.. That would be so sweet.. I refuse to use a model 2.. But understanding the limits of the YM2612, vs the YM3438, the 2612 won't sound as clear.

[TmEE]

Only when 2612 is replaced with 3438 and half the headphone amp is rebuilt with good parts.

[Joe Redifer]

Tell me more about the headphone amp. What are its deficiencies?
