 EDIT 2: Made a heck of a lot of progress on the dumper - it&#39;s now almost finished&#33; All it needs now are the 2x 4040 ICs and the 2x 4512B ICs, which I&#39;m waiting for a friend of mine to order from CPC. Here&#39;s a photo of it in with a cartridge inserted, from a &quot;Cyan Helkaraxe&quot; angle (i.e. an angle which obscures a load of the board =P):<br><br><img src='http://stc.hacking-cult.org/images/cyans_rom_dumper_wip/6_top_cartridge.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><br>Also, I&#39;m planning to put a CPU socket in my one working PAL Mega Drive 1, so I can put in faster parts - I recently snagged an STmicro-built 12MHz 68K for L1.20 for this purpose. I also desoldered (well, dad finished removing it in my absence on Monday =P) the Hitachi 68K from my &quot;broken&quot; Mega Drive 1, as well as the edge connector, which has now gone into my ROM dumper (see above).<br><br>After this, might overclock the Z80 as well and try OCing it that - some Master System games seem to slow-down in places (or maybe it&#39;s just cause I play them via the Power Base Converter on my MD1?) so that might be worth a shot too - with any luck, I think I have an appropriate crystal oscillator in some old expansion card somewhere for that purpose...<br><br>P.S. Said MD1 wasn&#39;t actually &quot;broken&quot;, I just accidentally hit one of the capacitors with a bit of wire that was also touching the RF shield on it, and I think it fucked up some components - since I haven&#39;t a clue which ones, I figured, eventually, that I could always just start using it for spares, as I am doing now =P
