*Difficulty level is the opinion of Retro Upgrades. This kit is sold as DIY and requires soldering skills and a few trace cuts. Please review the documentation and make sure you are confident in installing this kit prior to purchasing!

This kit officially only supports UK/EU PAL consoles and our guides are written for PAL consoles. NTSC MD/Genesis Model 1 are compatible with the kit, but most NTSC MD/Genesis 2 revisions are not supported. Please use this kit if using a NTSC MD/Genesis 2 as it supports all revisions. Click here.

Thanks to ArcadeTV, wshadow & Borti4938 for their work on the original design. 2024 board layout by Retro Upgrades.
