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:

my wife always cracks herself up when she tells me to grab this hot sauce, because 金鉤 sounds like jingle ("jin gou"). "ㄟ 你去拿金鉤bell!"

I'm doing a game contest for the rest of the month - beat me in Tetris DX (either Marathon or 40 lines), and get put in a raffle for one free PCB from my store of your choice.

Planning on making this a monthly thing, maybe probably, with different games each month.

Another dumb project only a handful of people will be able to use, but whatever! Switchless selector for the Tim Worthington SMS FM mod. Solders to the cart slot, then needs 1 wire to the reset switch. Solder in the included 3 conductor cable that's provided with the FM kit.
