    Unfortunately there aren't any known fixes for MGH. Use Fonzie's method or you could always desolder/read the ROM the hard way.

    Ok, I took back my digio to life to make some checks as i'll update some informations on my website :p
    And I figured out two things :
    - There are two digios class... The HDC0100 which seems to compress the jpeg like garbage (see the included shot, i resized it to 200% without any oversampling and saved in 100% quality jpeg).
    And the HDC1000X series... which seems to output smoother pictures, like this one
    http://www.oshokuji.org/esd/19970614/itojun-sj1/sega_019.jpg
    (i'll have to go back home to confirm, I also have a HDC1000A model).


    I also figured out that the HDC1000C and HDC1000B cost 3800 more yens than the HDC1000A...
    The HDC1000B was probably made of "silver" plastic... But I don't have a true confirm except some low-rez pics of it.
    And the HDC1000C... No idea... Maybe another plastic color or even another shape? ... I saw a picture of a digio that did not looked like a digio, maybe it was an error...

    Any idea?
    Thank you :D

    BTW : My picture magic tablet seems to have "dried", the tablet is less and less sensitive :'( ...
    BTW : I've dumped the picture magic cartridge one year ago, see : http://www.genny4ever.net/index.php?page=stuff for more infos.

    Ok, seems you have the HDC1000A model too... haha :)
    Nobody have a mighty HDC1000B or 1000C ?

    Btw : I opened one digio.
    It have a ROM, two video controllers chipsets (one to control the sensor, the other one to convert the sensor's signals), one sony screen & screen controller, bunch of generic electronic things and a crazy shielded part I couldn't open... I suspect it contains a Z80 + RAM, the true power of SMS.

    Fortunately for my digio, it will have some usage... And it's thx to the very strange picture quality ^^

    I have one too, but never used it, have the windows / serial cable and software too. It's a funky Saturn coloured camera though. :)
