    Hey, so, do you have a broken Mega CD (any model under the sun) lying around? Are you doing absolutely nothing with it. Do you have no plans to sell it as a parts system. Well, lemme know because, if you can remove them, I need BIOS eproms. The model doesn't matter, even if it's been dumped. I'm going to get together a collection of BIOS eproms to catalogue version and chip numbers. This may rot in here for a while as I am unemployed at the moment, so money is a bit tight, but I, more than anything, want to see if this is a plausible idea (mainly unsoldering or prying off(please dont ;_;) the EPROM to just mail it and save a buttload on shipping instead of mailing the whole console which is just junk anyway. If you are interested in this project, please let me know via this topic or a PM. I'll keep you in mind and whenever I can get to the point of paying for shipping and whatever gratuity you want to take for the EPROM. Thanks, hugs, and kisses (jk ;P).

    Edit: And please don't go ripping EPROMs out of perfectly working systems, I don't want Mega CD blood shed indirectly by my hands, that solves nothing ;_;

    I know there are PAL Asian MegaCDs (At least stock 1 and 2 models). No clues on the details though. Contact me if you ever get that dumped, I'm helping gather bootrom info for the Gens/GS emulator in hopes that a ROM database can be built to tell users what will work best for emulation in the program :p (I personally wanna go in after that's all done, document hardware changes, and add support to emulate different hardware versions, but I don't have the technical knowhow for that :p)

    I have a Model 2 American SegaCD somewhere with the board nicely fried but the BIOS chip should be fine. I'll see if I can dig it up.
