Hi, I have a 1st generation USA Genesis.
It says "High definition graphics" on the cover and has an EXT port.
It has a SCN68000 processor.
The circuit board looks like this:

Is this that very early model that has no lockout and is incompatible with some games?

(I can't test it, I dont have the AV cables)

thanks,

oh hell yea, that's my dream Genesis right there, no lockout at all...

*though, if I had it, i'd remove the CPU for a better one*

I hear it's the most compatible, runs everything because of the lack of TMSS..

And yes, that is THE original one..

Hell, I got this one by accident. I sure as hell didn't want it. I wanted to overclock a Gen1, and I end up with this crappy processor. Im gettin rid of it as soon as I can.

but you can take that CPU out of it...

[metalliqaz]

Thats possible, yes, but a Moto 68k costs more than an entire genny.

[evildragon]

Ok..

Since that is my dream Genesis, and you don't want it, how much would you sell it for? (and i'll need to think about it too, cause I don't know if I can really buy another console right now)

[metalliqaz]

Well I'm not ready to sell it yet, because before I let it leave my hands, I want to have another one up and running. Don't want to get caught with nothing.

Altho, I must say, dropping straight into the game with no Sega license screen is very cool.

[evildragon]

it is very good.. Tell you what, if you ever come around Florida, I have a spare MC68000 lying around, I'll install it for you...

What's the problem with the cpu of your genesis?
