im very happy i see this, after my awsome pickup yesterday. went to half price books and got pokemon red for $15, 6 Genesis games for $12, and soul caliber 2 for the gamecube for only $3
I have a Sega Genesis model 2 and it has to warm up before you can play it.And the reset button don’t work.Are these easy fix’s? And is it safe to play it?Thanks🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Could you possibly do a cleaning video on a Colecovision? I recently bought one and I'm not sure how to go about cleaning it up, and can't find any quality walk though videos. If you're not able to make a video yourself, could you recommend one?
Hey Adam, you should use instead of mr. clean's magic eraser rubbing alcohol the great thing about rubbing alcohol is that it will take those kinda marks off but it wont leave those matte spots on the plastic cause with the magic eraser it basically takes the finish of, try at least!
Any game released before 1991 will work regardless of what region you play in. SEGA started installing lock-out chips in their games from 1991 onwards until they discontinued the Mega Drive
Adam, you might be interested to know that the Japanese Mega Drive is compatible with all PAL and NTSC-USA games predating 1993, and with the Master System converter it is compatible with all Master System games. Sega only started making their games region specific after 1993. And of course, since the system runs at 60Hz, all PAL games played on it are sped up to the typical NTSC speeds.
Yes a new cleaning video :). Good video. P.S also check out the other Dragon Ball Z games on the Super Famicom (Super Butoden,Super Butoden 2 and Super Butoden 3).
@AdamKoralik Hey, I recently got a Sega Genesis Mk. II and the motherboard cover on the right is missing. Can you hook me up with one? I can trade you some 32x games for it. (BTW I have Doom and Cosmic Carnage)
Hey Adam, I remember reading years ago about how many of these Japanese Model 2's were cloned, particularly in Europe and North America for whatever reason, along with the SNES JR. I know for spotting the SNES clones you look for Philips screws, since the real ones use a tri-wing thing. Be interesting to see if you ended up with any by accident
Adam, you should've used a special eraser for the Sega CD port on your console there. It would've done the job better than windex. Not only that, they would shine too. It takes some heavy manhandling, but worth the results.
I recently found a Mega Drive 2 Japanese version as well. This is a difficult system to obtain! It doesn't help that there are so many bootleg clones of this console out there......probably more of those than the real thing. So, from online pictures it can be difficult to find a real one. There are also very few RU-vid videos of Japanese MDII models which just goes to show how few there are out there. It took me around a year of searching for one in the USA. You can import them but that is way pricey for what it is. One day I got lucky and scored one with two of the slightly smaller 6-button Sega controllers for $44. The only issue with mine had been a loose power port that needed to be reflowed.
I guess that the "sports game method" is to take a hockey puck or sport ball and bash the cart port until it falls off. Then you solder on a new one. Easy peasy.
I always thought the Model 2 Genesis looks so plain in comparison to the Mega Drive 2's. I think it's just the lack of coloured buttons honestly. Also, what an odd choice to remove a power light? I mean, I guess now that I think of it, No power lights seem pretty common among Japanese consoles of the time. The PC engine didn't have one, neither did the Famicom. I guess it's only us crazy foreigners who think a power light is a good idea.
I cleaned a model 2 Australia megadrive a few weeks ago it was full of cobwebs and a dead family of spiders were under the main circuit board no wonder it wasn't working.
My friend used to work onboard ship and he bought that console in Tokio. The power jack on the back was broken, so easy fix. Came with both six button controllers, original power brick and av cable...
The mod is simply removing 2 small bits of plastic with a knife on each side of the cartridge slot. I have a standard PAL MDII and Japanese games wont fit into it.
The one with RED power/reset buttons is original,my father was buy me one in 1994,in that time it was war in Yugoslavia and that sega cost almost 500deutch marks,which is equivalent todays 2500usd......and i have it still today and working flawwlless
Dude...please don't tell people to clean their cartridge contacts with ammonium or alcohol. Blow out the slot/boards with compressed air, and spray with WD-40 SPECIALIST Contact Cleaner. The stuff is specifically made to clean circuit board metals without the need for q-tips.
Mr. Koralik, I went to a gaming thing, it promoted both modern gaming and retro gaming and you could play those games, there was around 150 of them, I am not going to tell you where it was. I am being gonna be honest because you will not believe what was there, an Amiga CD32 WITH A FEW GAMES and an Atari Jaguar with 1 game. The controller to the Jaguar feels relatively comfortable and nice in the hand. And I played an Amiga CD32 game I dont know what it's called. But it was an FPS game. It was terrible. Just to end off this comment, YOU HOLD SHENMUE LIKE IT'S THE HOLY BIBLE.
8:25 why? by definition is a worthless game. 9:37, what about use an paper towel to remove the excess and wait out for the rest? Like why you don't ever do that?
