REGION modded Sega CD!! LOTS of other goodies

OK, got lots of stuff to move right now. I'm still clearing out some space around here, so here goes.
Just finished my first Sega CD mods! I've been working on this for literally 2 months or more now and I've finally gotten it down! For those of you unfamiliar with this mod, allow me to direct you to Arakon's webpage for more info. Basically, this mod is a replacement BIOS for the SegaCD attachment. You see, with the Genesis and SegaCD only about 20% of the carts are region locked out, but I believe all of the CDs are region locked (this is completely opposite of the Turbo Duo/PC Engine). The bios has all 3 different regions on it (UK, US, and Japan) and is switchable with the two switches you see installed. The 4th position on the bios chip is the game Columns, playable with no CD installed!
This mod has been available for about 3 years, but Arakon (a member here and at many forums) estimates that he's sold (for about $39 each) about 60 or so chips. For those of your looking at this and thinking, "Hell, that's easy. Just install a socket and two switches and done!", you should be aware that the Sega CD PCB is VERY VERY sensitive. I destroyed 2 model 2 boards optimizing my technique and so has Arakon. The traces are very fine on this.

I'm looking to get $130 shipped for each of the two Model 2 Sega CD's I have right now. Consider that it'll cost you nearly $100 to get the SegaCD and the bios and then about $15+ for priority insured shipping and you can see this is a bargain.
(click pics for bigger versions). Also note that no Genesis console is included in that price. I can do a combo deal for a Genny with the CD attachment.

Just a few Q's:

1) With the Sega CD unit, does t matter what Genesis/megadrive you use with the unit............i.e. can that modded Sega CD be used with any region Genesis/Megadrive??

2)Is it possible to mod Model 1 Sega/Mega CD units??

Cheers

I am not sure on this one. It does work perfectly well with region modded US Genesis units and should work with UK/JP ones, but I can't guarantee this as I don't have any UK/JP MegaDrives to test with.

Yep. In fact I have one I just did and only need to add switches to.

Which Genesis exactly? The middle size model 2? Does it have a "3" on the top of the Genny? The model 2 will work fine with this, although you may have the sound go out of sync with PAL/UK games unless you have the 50/60 Hz switch on the Genesis itself as well. I don't think so, but it's something I read once somewhere. I myself haven't noticed the sound go out of sync with UK CDs, so that's odd.

Also, definitely now available:
JVC X'Eye with S-Video $100 shipped = very nice condition (especially for this easily scraped/scratched system) with all original JVC accessories (controller, AC, AV)

Hey D-Lite can you send me three different
photo's of the Sega Genesis model's so I
can tell which one I have. It's smaller then
the original Sega Genesis System. Mine is
packed away right now.

Sorry D-Lite I didn't notice the picture.
The Genesis that is pictured on your thread which
is the one I have. I used to have the Model 2
Sega CD once but I couldn't get it back from my
stupid idiot no good father in 2001 which my mom
snuck me out from my abusive father. He was very
cruel to me. That's why I was removed from his
house & now I live with my mother now. I want to
get a modded Sega CD for my Genesis 2. I had
the original Genesis that was hooked up with
the Sega CD Model 2 once. Is it really easy to
mod the Genesis 2?. I bought the Genesis
for $20.00 at the Flea Market but it came with a
Sega Master System controller that would
not work & I was so lucky that I had 2
Turbo 3-button controllers stashed away.

I want to play US, Jap & UK games.
I'll buy just the modded Sega CD attachment
probably in April of 2005 because in March
I going to buy the Kisado Convertor from
you. I have to pay for half of my trade package
that Bluevoodu is holding me for next month.
Sorry for making you wait so long in holding
the Kisado Convertor.

I heard the Game Genie can play imports
& Pal games which the Game Genie as a
Convertor.

That's the one. How much will
it cost me to have you mod it for me if I
decide to send my Genesis 2 System to
be modded by you. Can MegaDrive games
fit in my Genesis 2 System or can I use
a Game Genie as a Convertor?. I had a
free game of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game
that said Sega MegaDrive on the box &
cartridge. I only have to case now. Was
that a Pal game inside a US casing?.
I'll try to show a photo of the box by email
when I find it in my game bins.
