Hi, there are modern consoles designed to play cartridges from old consoles like the Retron ones, www.hyperkin.com/game-consoles.html or there was the Power Base Converter designed to play SMS on the Mega Drive segaretro.org/Power_Base_Converter Is that what you meant?
Hiya on the website where is the composite board please as I can't find it? Was going to check it has the capacitor 220 micro farads and resistor inline 75 or 100 ohms on it as this may contribute to the effect your seeing. Good video keep them coming 😊
Thanks for your feedback. Interested by your cap/resistors experience. Here you go - it's listed for Atari, but it works for others (or maybe that's bad info I was given) www.thefuturewas8bit.com/deluxe-atari-composite-video-mod.html
Just a thought: the TV says SCART so are you using a composite to SCART adapter? The pattern of repeated pixels makes me wonder if the TV has incorrectly interpreted the composite signal as S-Video which is a thing that I've seen happen. I have two old LCD TVs that both have the same behaviour, there's two SCART sockets: AV-1 is RGB/S-Video and AV-2 is Composite. Composite in S-Video causes effectively every other pixel to be wrong in a regular pattern. The other thing that springs to mind is it was a common thing on mega drives to remove the RF unit entirely if you planned to use RGB exclusively as the very presence of the RF unit caused regular interference on the RGB. I don't know if it is relevant for a master system 2, but it's a possibility.
Can I use cassettes from mega system 2 to other consoles?

Oh Well P. can't win them all, hope you are all well. Cheers Will.
Cheers Will. Still have the crystal hunting video to edit! Maybe get that done soon too. This one only took 21 months.

Ooo! Nice idea, I’ll have to check that out. Thank you for your detailed comment and thoughts.
