Hi everyone, I have a Megadrive 2 Asian Pal Clone which runs at 50hz. I would like to be able to have this system running with 50/60 eng/jp switches or if at all possible switchless mod. As the board is different from an original I do not know how to achieve this. I am still trying to identify some of the components. If anyone knows how to do this and is willing to share then I thank you
With crude deductions I have Identified the clone chips - TA-06 9513 - Sega 315-5313 TA-04 9512 - Sega 3155364 TA-07 9512 - YM2612 So to get it running at 60hz I looked up the pinout for the Sega 315-5313 - http://console5.com/wiki/315-5313 with pin 46 for video mode pal/ntsc. Does anyone know the chip/pin for Language selection?
I do believe I've had a similar MD2 clone years ago. There was a factory switch installed which I used to change the region. It could be that J11, J12, J13, J14 is what you need. I could be wrong but the PCB really looks like what I've had.
Hello! I have a mega drive clone pcb too, It works in 50hz. But it have not the J11, J12, J13 and J14 jumpers. I found only the J3 and J5 jumpers. There is an labelin the pcb written MD-16M. anyoneknow how do the ntsc 60Hz mod in this pcb? Here's the pcb images:
The master clock is a PAL oscillator, so your 60Hz picture will always be a little too bright, and won't be synced correctly with a 60Hz refresh rate.
