That turned out very, very nice in the end. Nice piece of Sega trivia at 17:41 too. Don't find many people who know that bit of history. Have a Model 2 SegaCD myself, with an early model 1 Genesis. Never had one back in the era, as I had sold my Genesis, in order to help buy a PC. Went on to reclaim a Genesis and get a SegaCD as well, years later. Certainly glad to see this unit having been rescued though. It appears to work great. Nice work, bud.
Thanks for watching! I really don’t plan the bits at the end so do randomly waffle. I’ve never had either of the model 2 machines here. I should change that!
A great job! Always warms the cockles of my heart to see an unloved, broken, damaged system resurrected, fully working and looking great. Really well done mate. I had a Megadrive/Mega CD back in the day, absolutely brilliant. Mickey Mania, Terminator CD, and Sonic CD, my Sony 14" tv (with Fastext, I'd saved up for) , in my small bedroom......ahhh the memories.....
@@MarkFixesStuff Terminator CD is excellent. The music is brilliant, gameplay is solid, and it's not that hard to find. If I see it, I'll let you know, keep up the great work, fella!
Had the Mega CD 2 as a kid but didnt know what it was at the time we just wanted the SEGA MD found it on a car boot with around 20 CD titles (including flying squadron and final fight ) 3 carts (one had 6 games on) paid about £20 pounds for it, the Terminator on CD was my fave game we had my bro liked one called road avenger
Thoroughly enjoyed this Mega CD 'Retro Resurrection'. I have 2 Mega CD's, (i have at least one backup for nearly every one of my consoles, in many cases more) yes I'm a bit nuts like that! I'm a big Mortal Kombat fan, and i had to own every home port of every 2D Mortal kombat game (except that awful and super expensive SMS version of MK3) so thanks to the existence of MK CD, i had to purchase a Mega CD, and it is actually the best home port of the game so i'm happy to have it. Final Fight is awesome, again the best home port. I have Sonic CD too, but i much prefer 2 and 3 tbh, but that said, it is still a great addition to the series. I'm now getting more into burned alternatives, thanks to the ££££ for original copies, (i started "collecting" back in 98 when these games were as little as 50p. lol) so i'll definitely be picking more title up for the Mega CD in the future.
@@fretboarder4752 Just to be clear, sometimes they don't have visible signs but when the machine has been on for a few more hours they will almost certainly start to die with bubbling juice leaking out. It's worth keeping it under observation. All three here had bad caps. I don't want your machine to die!
@@MarkFixesStuff il keep an eye on it once i get it setup up.. i know a lad local who could recap it for me like.. my md has a region hz switch but the mega cd gives a region screen..think the 60hz mod is to blame for it
@@fretboarder4752 Yes. You can get a region "free" bios, which is a hack of the japanese version. That would work with all modes but is incompatible with a couple of Japanese games iirc, Snatcher being one.
Great work! Just today I've recapped the main board of my megacd, and that brought it back to life! Unfortunately the cd tray won't open, wish me luck with that!
Thank you! It's most likely the drive belt needs changing. If you recapped the main board then the belt change is a doddle. You just need to pull the cd tray all the way out.
Great video I brought the Mega CD back in the day and I've still got and works great. I might need to open it up and check to see if the caps are not leaking.
Mark Fixes Stuff - Retro Console and Computer Repairs, Reviews and MORE! You and me both I've never been able to play them! I'm here more for the fixing stuff anyway! Got on to your page from retro man cave and loving your content
Ah, good old Neil sending lovely people my way. I'm off back to Retro man Cave next month to help with another broken machine... One which is vaguely related to this!
That'll be interesting but you gotta give us more then that, Famicom disk system? It's good to see these things not going to the big pacman in the sky!
Historically motorized trays tend to break but there is something oddly satisfying about them, bit like a robot I guess. I had one but didn't know anyone else with one bitd, actually a lot of fun to use between the time of 16-bit and the PS1 where consoles weren't very good or cost effective for a while EGs. 3DO/CD-i/Jaguar/Amiga CD. Yeah FF:CD has gone up in price at lot, picked up my original copy from a rental place. In hindsight I should have gone to Vancouver(insert your major city) because there was far less coming into my town, could have got Snatcher/Keio:FS when it wasn't insanely priced.
I have one but I've never played on it 😆😆. Really enjoyed this series mate, final fight looks awesome. Oooh, that shooter looks great as well. Look forward to the streaming mate.
Lovely video. My brother bought a mega cd it was fun for a while but there was too many fmv games. Sol feace / cobra command was indeed a pack in title along with a megadrive compilation. Funilly enough I bought keio flying squadron from cex 2 months ago for £115!! I had a lot of trade credit though 👌
I know what you mean about too many FMV games. I don't think developers really know what to do with the system, so stuck some fairly poor titles together. What was on the megadrive compilation? Do you mean a cart or a cd with Megadrive games?
Mark Fixes Stuff - Retro Console and Computer Repairs, Reviews and MORE! It was a cd compilation of o.g. mega drive games. It had columns , revenge of shinobi, streets of rage, Monaco gp and golden axe which had the arcade streaming the arcade soundtrack off the disc.
I still own my Mega CD, from new and when it came out back in early 90's.. I still use it today.. I have a number of Original retail disks and loads of backup/copies that all work great.. Keio flying squadron I downloaded a PAL version but have patched some NTSC and NTSC-J disks, if you buy a Everdrive V5 or V7 you can change the BIOS via the Cartridge (EASY).. I find the Mega CD underrated but I think its great.. Look out for Super Strike Trilogy (Desert strike, urban strike, jungle strike) never was retailed but was in development and never finished (someone did finish development).. Super Strike Trilogy is available to download but will need patching for PAL systems.. There is loads of good games available on Mega CD that people never talk about, even some FMV games are good.
I've actually been doing this with my Everdrive clone cart, even loaded a MultiMega bios for lols. Thank you for the tip on Super Strike Trilogy. I'll find that on the interwebs!
damn as soon as i saw the adapted for home i knew it was final fight which was my fav game with sewer shark which ive still got all i need is the power brick a joypad and a arial cable as ive got a 32x as well just the game carts got lost when i moved 10 years ago the thing is i got mine on launch and i got sol feace and the megadrive collection which i liked but already had them games but hated sol feace the heli game by core was great as well just need to get the cables and ill hook it up as i still like the look of the mega cd but at the moment its been in the cuboard for over 16 years LOL
Hi Mark, an excellent series you refurbished that unit to an excellent standard. I recently moved house and found my own Mega drive and mega cd in the loft, thought I would set them up and re-live the many hours of pleasure I remember, just wanted to ask your advice, set the mega drive up it worked fine once I remembered that I had to tune the modern flat screen tv in manually 😀. Connected the Mega cd up and switched on it started making a strange noise I turned it off immediately, tried again the green ready light came on and the screen went white but nothing else happened switched it off left for a while but when I turned it back on nothing happened no lights on just a black screen😩, could I have blown the fuse? If so there must be an underlying problem, could that noise be a problem with the drive motor? I look forward to your reply thanks.
David Trevorrow hi mate. It actually sounds like a capacitor issue. The noise could be the drawer mechanism. Hard to say, but it WILL need new capacitors because they all do.
I was wondering. I think it sat in water for a long time too, because there was a strange "bronzing" effect on some parts of the lower plastic case which can only have happened if the shielding rusted while it was all in water.
@@MarkFixesStuff Generally, it looks like it was lying "a little" on the bottom of the trash container. The polished shield(-s) looks good. Sometimes instead of polishing, use zinc spray. It does not look so "shiny", but it prevents corrosion in the future. Particularly thicker steel sheets, like PC cases, after cleaning rust, should be painted with zinc (or zinc-aluminum) spray. Not for the look, just to protect against corrosion in the future.
