There's a huge flickering thingy in the middle of the video. Too powerful Blast Processing.

[Robivy64]

That would be the refresh rate of the TV being picked up by my camera. Take a video camera and film your TV and you'll see it too.

i've never seen a model 1 with a CPU like that before.. that's weird..

[Robivy64]

Yeah thats the last board revision before they went to the model 2. The CPU is the slightly more efficient Hitachi 68K.

[evildragon]

is the motherboard even in the original shell?

cause it says High Definition Graphics, and well, I thought only the original revisions had that...

[Robivy64]

The original shell was pretty scratched up. I was able to get another lid that was in much better shape and replace it.

[evildragon]

ok cool.. hope it sells..

(btw, does it need the switch to boot it?)

[Robivy64]

Nope no switches. It runs great with absolutely no issues. My main Genesis is set up like this one. I can't go back to the stock CPU speed, especially with Thunderforce IV.

im gonna go for the 9MHz overclock.. it's what i wanted to do originally, cause i thought there'd be no problems or compatibility...

it's funny Sega even downclocked the 68k in the first place, cause the chips they used were rated for 8MHz..
