Mega Drive Recalbox

[CrispyJoe]

Hello et Bonsoir,

Today I've finished my Mega Drive Recalbox and I love the result. Instead of having a boring case I have a childhood dream right next to my TV

This is my first case mod, so after I've finished I would have done some things slightly different, but anyhow, I am pretty pleased with the result.

• Using a RP3
• All RP3 ports except AUX are connected (I might do AUX later, but I don't see the reason yet)
• Mega Drive Power Switch is working
• Mausberry power circuit for the power switch (you can see it slightly on the picture, it's below the RP3
• Red Mega Drive LED is working
• Reset button is not connected as I couldn't figure out how the original button worked.

Here is how it looks like. The Sonic cartridge in the slot is just for the look. I plan to make a V2 with a modded cartridge so I can actually use it to change SD cards.

Nice one! Are the lights from the tv or you build it separately?

They are built seperately. It's another Pi Love those beasts

you could even use the reset button

But it's a very nice and neat project

Reminds me i still have to work on hyperion ...

I couldn't find out how it works. When I press the reset button which I soldered out of the mega drive board, it doesn't change the voltage on any of the four pins. I think I need to buy another one that I can use instead.

this looks so cool, great job. can you make a list of all single components that you used, preferrably with a link to buy online, please? I would like to do this myself but I'm a noob when it Comes to stuff like this. I have a defunct MD so I already have the case at least...
