Re: creating a sega genesis 2 portable
I tried this and nothing happened which either means i should remove the AC plugin or i should charge my batteries again.
If I should remove the AC now is it safe to desolder it? I was about to and one of my friends said it would mess up the circuit board by overheating it.

Re: creating a sega genesis 2 portable
cool i will try this and get back,
also how about 7 AA, would that work? would it dramatically cut battery life?
when i get the screen will the same method that worked to hack it for NES work for this? (Its a PSone screen)

Re: creating a sega genesis 2 portable
OK let me rephraze this. do i have to do anything to the circuit board before hooking up the battery?
I am pretty sure this is not a hard question for people who have been doing this for a while.
also if i am going to research any good ideas on were to start?
