Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

That's not a heat shield. It's a EMI shield and it's there for making the unit comply with FCC regulations about radio frequency interference.

The Japanese one had nothing there.

To everyone who likes Bloodborne, or just good stories, I'd recommend watching this :P

Domestic mode = Japan
Export mode = Not Japan (Europe or USA)

Mega Drive 1 boards revisions work like this:

IC BD M5 VAxx

VA0 = no VAxx, Japan only
VA1 = Japan only
VA2 = Rare in USA (IC BD M5 VA2 USA)
VA3 = Should be common in USA (IC BD M5 VA3 USA)
VA4 = Should be common in USA (IC BD M5 VA4 USA)
VA5/6 = IC BD M5 (VA5 does not exist in USA but has no TMSS while in domestic mode)

The guy on the video comments that sound is bad on all newer units but there are units with TMSS and good sound (USA VA6, for example)

Very late model1 units (VA7) have Mega Drive 2 chips in them and those do have the bad sound.


Program wise to pass TMSS check all you need is have "SEGA" ASCII written at offset 0x000200 of the ROM cartridge.

And these consoles require the binary data for "SEGA" to be written at a specific register on the chipset otherwise the chipset blocks the CPU from receiving the interrupt signal from the video chip.

I just got this email from SQEX:

They're requesting players to put their voices on the FFXI ending song which will be implemented on the final update.
