    I don't know when but I will soon scan the different cart for the MegaDrive.
    The scans will be here : http://dump.megadrive.org

    That's good, but how are you opening all the carts? If you want, I can confirm some CRCs, I've dumped maybe 30 games but haven't checked any of the MD game PCBs.

    I'm not sure I understand the question ....
    The classic EUR/US games with a gamebit.
    The jap one with a gamebit too after removed carefully the sticker.
    Codemaster with classic screwdriver after removed carefully the sticker (just the two bottom corner)
    Only the Acclaim ones resist me now ...

    Cool, let me know which ones.

    Edit:

    Here goes: http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb311/c_e_z/game/ngpc_spa.jpg

    Hope the resolution is enough. I meant to take pics of Wonderswan carts too but I don't have a small enough screwdriver. :crying:

    Edit: Ah, one has been posted already.

    Wow, you're brave!

    Do you want a scan of NBA Jam's PCB? I have the bit to open it. Somewhere I traced out the circuit too. I also have Phantasy Star II/III and Sonic & Knuckles to scan but haven't traced the circuits yet.

    OK, it will take a few days, I need to exchange hard drives.

    That is very helpful!

    This is great, thanks! I guess there must be a "NP-CFL32" out there too as well as a few PCB with saves.

    This can be really helpfull, thanks.
    My goal is to have a scan of each MD cart pcb and an electronic schema for it on my web site.

    Take your time, I'm not really in a hurry.

    Hi guys I didn't forget about you, but I went to Australia and New Zealand for a little bit holiday, but I'll be home in about month or so then I'll send you the scans.

    I'd do you HQ scans of the saturn cartridges (2MB RAM and 4MB RAM) if I had the special driver. I knwo where I can get one but they're about 10 USD in Japan. I could do a scan now of the Saturn Karat branded Action Replay Pro 2 if you need it.

    Sure, it would be nice to see all Saturn carts. Oh yeah, KOF95/Ultraman ROMs would be cool too if anyone has them.

    That gamebit costs nothing... I got mine for 10USD (including shipping from USA to Europe)
