FOR SALE! Clear Shell SNES - $340 Shipped, USA Only Rebuilt from the ground up using an RGR shell and boards from @starlightk7.bsky.social and @1uprestorations.bsky.social! Has all fixes (stereo balance, vcc rail, sound speed) applied! Comment if interested!

So I paired my #OpenKSK with cosam's main board. It looks great together. As soon as I finish the sub board we can build the whole machine... But need to convince someone talented in 3D modeling to make us a clear shell. Will give free boards for model 🥹 #SegaCD #MegaCD

Making some #OpenSFC controllers tonight for an old friend. His birthday is today 😃 If you're pairing them with a US #SNES then the purple version goes great with the stock colors and buttons. 👀 Awesome combo with a purple OpenSFC as well. 😄

There have been a handful of successful #OpenKSK builds now. If the fragile pads on your board were damaged during recapping, the OpenKSK can help you get a clean repair. Studying the docs & the assembly are also a fun way to learn more about how a CD-ROM works 😄 #SegaCD #MegaCD
