I did a few upgrades to my 15$ va1 model 2 genesis. I built tiido priimagi's amazing crystal clear audio mod and installed the circuit into the system. I tapped the inputs of the ka video encoder in the system and installed a cxa2075 video encoder circuit inside of the machine. I also widened the slot and added a region switch so I can play my japanese imports. This system now has the best video and audio quality possible in a genesis. Here's some pictures:
Here's a couple of demonstrations showing how improved the audio is:
Nice work! Other than trying to make an RGB to component out, you've got the best sound and video possible.

Very impressive. I may have to attempt this myself, but I was put off of console modding when someone's WRONG S-Video amp board schematic for the SMS resulting in nothing but a waste of time and components. Not to mention I'm like five years out of practice with any kind of EE work.
