Many people who follow me on CROSS (that's Japanese for 'X'), have likely seen these, but posting here for others. I compiled a series of Triple Bypass/3BP installation guides for every US revision of the Sega Genesis and have made them available on my github:

I designed a new mod for the Panasonic Q. This is a battery mod so we can swap out dead batteries in the future without soldering. These PCBs are fragile with those feather-lite pads...one time removal of the old battery is enough. Let me know what you think. www.printables.com/model/146596...

Another new item added! This is an FRAM flex for the NEC Super CDROM2 add on! The Duo flex cables don't fit in there, so I had to re-orient everything.

Thanks to @ohpoorpup.bsky.social for validating the cable for me.

Don’t see one of these every day…full recap on a PC Engine LT! More like PITA, am I right?

Not sure these are particularly rare, but they are certainly some LD grails to me! I got to see Pat Metheny Group live all the way back in 2005, so these will be a fun watch.

Validated the Board Folk #LaserActive SYPS repro using a PSU that went supernova! In the process, I replaced the dead optocoupler & primary side BJT plus a pair of 2.2k resistors that were open circuit. You can see how rancid the original board was 🤮 Found 2 errors to fix also!

>PAC WORLD N with final form flex cable

Had to run ONE wire to the sound pad since PAC WORLD N needs an update to match it (eventually)

When it arrived it had yellow tint to image, turned out to be loose ribbons so of course pulled those, cleaned and applied some fresh deoxit!

New 64BP, everything seems to be working great! Hope to have these available soon.

The Model 3 Wire Free install is almost a reality! I somehow deleted two bottom pads on the funk flex, and swapped the FM left and right on the AV flex, but it otherwise works perfectly!
