CPU replacement

Post by **Sparkfist** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 11:13 am

I was looking at ucm and the replacing the CPU of the Genesis (68000) with a 68010 chip. Has anyone tried this beside the guy of the website.

Now more to the point what do you think a 68010 processor would do to the Sega CD? I have my broken on in front of me and wonder what improvement it might yield.

I've seen that. Try asking Epicenter. I think he has one of those, if I remember right.

In fact, the guy who made the 68010 Genesis reffered me to him, telling me he was a Genesis guru. lol!

Odds are the BIOS crashes and the Sega CD doesn't boot.

Just being honest. I haven't done the mod myself since it's a lot of work for about the same payoff as OC'ing the 68000 to 10 or 11 MHz. But still very interesting.

I might give it a go

One problem I had was finding a 68010 CPU. They are quite rare. One thing with the Sega CD that shys me away is the fact that all models use the surface mounted CPU.

Even if I did find a surface mount 68010 CPU, I am not willing to risk messing up a perfectly good sega cd

.

As for the BIOS failing...doubtful. There may be some incompatabilities like with the genesis..but total failure...probably not.

The 68010 delivers a nice little kick-in-the-pants.

That didn't make sense. "Trace the tracks back to easy to access points and solder to the points they go to" is the best deciphering I can manage. Please stop posting hundreds of replies under 5 words that are entirely indecipherable, it's making my head hurt.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Incomprehensible posts just wear on my nerves.
