    I spent a few minutes finally putting the card into an actually Sega Cartridge. I have some final sanding to do on the reset button, but everything else, especially the fit is pretty solid. The cartridge is a Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game.

    I'm trying to find the best paper quality to create solid graphic for the cartridge.

    Looks very nice. I've also been wondering what kind of paper would be best suited for labels. For my Everdrive that will arrive soon and for various repros I have planned.

    Your setup looks similar to mine! I have the same speaker, and I have wire shelving for my Sega setup too - pic attached. Hmm. Your cart looks cleaner than mine, but I cleaned it up using a label from mrbigreddog.

    Good job. I used a Shadow Dancer cart for mine, but don't worry, I had a better condition copy. This one was starting to rust on the cart pins. I used an NFL '94 for my first one that looked even worse.

    I didn't bother doing near as nice of a job as you. I just got out a big pocket knife and cut away until it fit. I didn't sand or anything like that. I left the old label on as well. Your cartridge certainly looks nice, but I guess I am unwilling to put the effort into making mine look that nice.

    Mine came with case/label already. It didn't have a pause button for SMS, though, so I used a soldering iron to burn a hole in the cart case and then added the button myself.

    HAHA nice. Yea I did one the day prior, however the goo gone cleaning agent I used "Big Orange" ate through the plastic. The case looked great and was sanded amazing, but that solution basically destroyed the outside of the case. So, I only spent like 20 minutes on that new one, I also just used a metal file to file the plastic off.

    It didn't, but then I had the sweet, sweet smell of lead solder to refresh my senses afterwards ;)

    Honestly I think a soldering iron and knife/sandpaper to smooth the resulting edges is one of the tidiest ways to do simple mods to plastic. Just don't inhale.

    its better if you use a rotary drill on the cart , though not many people have skill with a rotary drill , i found out i did when i region modded my n64 , looking inside it looked factory.
