What's involved in making a Sega Genesis reproduction game cartridge? We'll look at the full start-up cost for both basic cartridges and SRAM battery backup cartridges. What programmer to use, EPROM types and sizes, byte swapping the ROM, customs PCBs and shells. We'll be making PCBs from essentially scratch; therefore we do not need destroy/sacrifice a factory game to produce a new reproduction game. It's the right thing to do ;)
We'll also look at options and alternatives for cartridge shells.

I do batch runs of this PCB (no SRAM). Get on the waitlist if you'd like one:

"We play retro game consoles because it's expensive and inconvenient" - brilliant.

@hollowneedles

There's no justification for the high price of "traditional" eprom programmers. They should be 20-30 bucks tops.

I just watched a hypocrite and a liar! :D Nice video.

I made a Penguin Land cart for my Master System last week. I had absolutely no qualms about sacrificing Super Tennis to do it.

I wish I'd watched this before making my own Gameboy cartridges. Much of the advice is relevant and similar. I know how it feels to not know if anything will work after all the effort and money put into the project. But I did it :)

Another excellent video. I don’t own a Sega, so will not be making carts, but I watched the video because it brought back memories of a time when a lot of the products my employer manufactured were EPROM based. I spent many happy hours with a programmer. I loved the explanation of little and big endian.

I have less moral issues with burning my own reproduction cart for some title that scalpers have turned into 4 digit prices than emulating it. (Not that I haven't done that plenty over the decades, too) I usually emulate to try before I buy, and then only bootleg if the originals are insane. Now at least I am learning how to do it myself for my own use, never to sell to anyone. Finally learning how to program so I can make my own original games too.

Here is some of the questions I have about repro: where can I buy Genesis/Megadrive Japan shells with logo? I swear to God I'm npt going to scalp anyone! Just want my own copy to look aesthetic for me!

This was one of the most detailed and well laid out tutorials I've ever seen. Great Job! Very informative.

I've been making pcbs for a while now using the XGecu Pro. This is a very good video. I learned a few things. Thanks for making this!

Thank you so much, I'm planning dev a game that I wrote for mega drive and release on cartridge later and your video casted light into obscure issues!

Thanks for this tutorial, it was very fun to watch. I've been wanting to make my own carts since a long, long time ago. Just bought my Top3000 locally, it should arrive in 5 days or so. Now it's time to get some PCBs & Eeproms. Can't wait to burn some games!

Great work showing how to make a genesis repro, i started my collection

@danielpadim

This video is just legendary. Thanks RetroBuiltGames for this!

@DHLUCKYMAN

Thank you so much for this video. I want to put some of the protypes and unlicensed mega drive games on actual eproms and not those Chinese made black dot ones. No doing copies of games for me all my games are original.. I just want the special ones on real original hardware and you my friend have helped alot
