https://donluca.theclassicgamer.net/how-to-change-the-built-in-game-in-your-sega-master-system-bios-part-2/ Follow up post I've written with some more practical step-by-step examples with actual games. Hopefully this should be more clear and easy to follow. I've also included "empty BIOSes"...

https://donluca.theclassicgamer.net/how-to-change-the-built-in-game-in-your-sega-master-system-bios/ If anyone is interested, I managed to pull it off on my own (more or less). Tomorrow I'll probably write a follow-up article with a practical example involving a game. Hopefully this is enough...

You can have a BIOS loaded with a diagnostic ROM instead of a game which will make troubleshooting Master Systems much easier as you don't need a flashcart. Plus, if you have issues with the cartridge connector or the cartridge data lines, you can still diagnose the SMS and discover what's wrong...

Do you happen to still have the Master System Bios with Ghost House mentioned here? The file is no longer online unfortunately. Thanks!

I like that the new forums are still pretty lightweight and snappy. Well done!

I'm afraid the guy bought it thinking it was some kind of all-in-one console ready to be connected via HDMI to his TV... then he probably realized that he also needs a motherboard (which are still cheap last time I checked) and a supergun and a controller and realized that it was more money then...

When they'll decide to stop producing/selling it they might open source it and leave it up to the community. That would be the most sane thing to do. Yes, chinese clones will flood the market, but if you're not producing them anymore, will that matter?

I have a friend who's invested quite a bit in his 3D printer and today he sent me this picture: I was literally amazed, he said it took 23 hours for the printer to do it. Had to come here and share, can't wait to see it painted!

This is truly the definitive Neo Geo cart. I really can't think of anything better or features I'd want other then the ones in. Great job neosd team, you never stop to impress, I hope the sales for this will be huge, it really deserves it. And thanks Yodd for the in-depth video!

Alright, this is the definitive Neo Geo multi cart. End of story. I have to sell my 138-in-1 and 161-in-1 and some other carts I have and get the Pro. Time to save up, hopefully I'll be able to order one soon. This really came out of nowhere btw, I wish this had been announced a bit earlier...

Here's the story: bought a couple months ago a System16B board with a 5704 Rom Board, it was running Tetris on an encrypted FD1094 CPU. The boards were in a pretty rough shape, so I cleaned it up a bit, replaced some caps which were on the verge of leaking and tested it out and worked without...

I was reading through an old thread here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=266472 It looked like they were going somewhere but then the thread died. I was wondering what those Cable-1 and Cable-2 were for and if there was a way to bypass the initial menu. From what I...

Thanks! And yeah, it's definitely a super gun, it's a bare bone jamma harness with connectors, hooked up to a modified mvs board. One day I hope to get a cab and slam it in and play it the old way. While I'm at it, here's my retro station: I look things nice and clean and with no cables...

Introducing... the Poverty CMVS: for the broke Neo Geo fan. Yup, it's a shoebox I had which used thick, solid cardboard and came with a small frontal hole, ideal to get cables through. To cover stuff, I've put a paper on top with the codes for the 138-in-1 dipswitch and cut a small window so...

My custom stick parts arrived. (plus other stuff I needed) Fun times ahead. For those wondering: Seimitsu LS-40 stick and IL pushbuttons. ;)
