Description

The pictures are of the actual console you will receive, minus the first picture, which is our stock photograph. The console is in good condition with minor age-related wear such as faint scratches near the cartridge slot and volume slider. Console only, no controllers or cables are included. *Unless you select to include a MD1 RGB SCART cables from the drop-down menu.

Please note: this is a European model Mega Drive/Genesis 1, and Japanese cartridges will not fit without modification to the cartridge slot. We recommend an Everdrive by krikzz for the best experience, so that the entire MD/Genesis library from all regions can be played at the correct speed!

Audio is routed through the headphone jack and the original DIN 8 AV connector is retained, so a Mega Drive/Genesis 1 RGB SCART cable with audio breakout should be used.

50/60hz region switching LED status:

Red (USA/NTSC-U), green (JP/NTSC-J) & blue (EU/PAL).

In-game reset controls:

Hold START + A + B + C for 2-3 seconds = reset the console.

Hold START + A + B + C  for 4-5 seconds (or hold indefinitely) = switch between region/frequency.

DFO:

Dual frequency oscillator which corrects the base clocks for 50Hz and 60Hz video-modes. Enabling PAL consoles to be comparable to genuine 60hz consoles which is ideal for RGB users. Eliminates black & white video output via composite/s-video and eliminates stutter with modern displays which are less tolerant with sync than CRT TVs.
