Panorama Cotton Prototype Cart May 1994

I know 1993 prototype has been dumped and released but from my understanding that was the only one has been dumped so far?

While going through my old stuff I found this Panorama Cotton prototype cartridge dating 17 May 1994.
Given the Japanese release date this would put this build around 4-5 months before launching.

Haven't had time to play test whether there are obvious difference yet - I still need to find my copy of Panorama Cotton to compare.
When I do I will post the video to my Youtube channel. :)

imho you'll get much better info and help on dumping a cart at the assembler forums.

Retrode is probably the simplest means to dump Gen/MD carts.

someone else mentioned that as well except it seems that device is out of stock and when it does turn up quite pricy. Don't think I will buy one just to dump one cartridge.

I finally uploaded the video of this prototype build running on the actual Mega Drive console on my YT channel. For some reason it didn't run on the clone console but worked fine on the official console. :)
