Re: Stuff and Things.
Don't forget to get a Master System cart adapter too.

Adding a 50/60 switch with region change will be another little fun task.

Re: Stuff and Things.
I'll have a look at that, and want some sort of SD solution too.

Re: Stuff and Things.
SD solution will also do Master System ROMs so adaptor is not needed unless you have a load of carts.
Ah you don't need eBay for the 50/60, just a few switches needed unless you want it to change a bit more fancy.
I use this site for all my 50/60 and RGB mods:
https://mmmonkey.co.uk/
Although his old site was better for finding guides, but not as visually impressive.

With regards to carts, I tend to just use SD solutions where I can as I don't have the storage for lots of carts, so I guess once I get the SD solution I'll be golden. I just wanted the Sonic cart as it came with the MD I had back in the day

Re: Stuff and Things.
Well, the controllers and Sonic cartridge arrived, and boom!!
All working lovely
All I needed to do was clean up the cartridge edge connector and it powered on perfectly
Currently it's just a bare board on my workbench as I'm giving the case a good clean, but I fully expect it to look and run great once it's finished.
I'm only running it on RF out at the moment, so I need to sort out a proper cable to verify if the AV out port is not right as described, but so far so good.
