    Default Genesis 2 modding

    Hi everyone I'm new to the forums and was wounding if you could help me.

    I have three model 2 Sega Genesis and I was planing on doing a LED mod and composite video mod on one of them.

    LED
    mod: I was thinking of changing the LED from Red to blue, but I'm having trouble finding what type of LED to use so I don't break anything

    Composite video mod: I found a pretty useful video on youtube to help me out with that.

    so if this has already been answered can you please post the link to the thread since I'm having trouble using the search on the forums any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Hey no problem. I have had those two links saved in my favorites for quite some time now.

    Oh I understand. Maybe do both S-Video and Composite for when you get a TV with S-Video.

    You know what, I just realized the first link is for a Genesis 1, and you have Genesis 2 models. The second link may work for you still. You should pick up a Model 1 sometime, they are the best versions - especially if you get the "High Definition Graphics" version.

    I do have a model 1 with the hd logo on the top but I really like that one since its harder to find them then the model 2(picked one up for $6.00) but once I do the mods and every thing works i'll post some pics.

    Yeah I am interested in seeing your results. I plan on doing some mods to mine as well, using those links. I also plan on doing a US/JAP region switch, it looks easy enough.
