Sonic CD on the Xbox 360

This was my first opportunity to get to play Sonic CD as I didn’t have a megacd at the time

I mean, the only reason I have a NeoGeo and a MegaCD (under repair) now is because I couldn't afford either when they came out.

I don't like the majority of the MVS' library and still have no idea what to play on the MegaCD once it's fixed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The 32X library is also questionable... 😬

This #MegadriveMonday afternoon, we take a look inside one of our favourite MegaCD games "Lunar the Silver Star" appreciating the Artwork & CD-ROM craftsmanship

They don't print discs like this anymore!
Just look at the detail in the graphic

Do you miss the physical art?

Those vias next to the caps might be shot, but the cracked Sanyo LC8951 chip might be the bigger problem 😬

I'm currently playing the MegaCD version and I think it's better than this!

I will probably get one of those flashcarts capable of running MegaCD at some point instead

I’d want one anyway at some point for playing rom hacks, and the CD stuff is a bonus

Now I have my MegaDrive set up again, the need to appease my childhood self’s desire for a MegaCD is cropping up again

But they’re so damn expensive and I really don’t need one

I’ve been modding my consoles to be diskless so it makes little sense

I just really like how the hardware looks I think

Back to the MegaCD, it's got some problems just on the sub board.
Looks like significant acid damage from C25 spreading under the silkscreen from the power reg to IC1. L1 just fell off taking the pads with it.

Ribbon cable also acidic, haven't even started on the main board yet...

Ok, so looks, um, not horrible?
Will need some work around C25 and C24.

Gonna give the ribbon cable socket a good clean later if all goes well with the silkscreen cleanup.

I don't think I'll get this ribbon any better without replacing it outright.
Should due for a test after I fix the sub board (maybe 😬)
October 14, 2026 at 12:48 PM
Whole top layer above and below L1 just crumbled away on contact 😭

Should still be salvageable though 🤞
October 14, 2026 at 10:17 AM
Oh nice, I'll have to put in an order for both ribbons (just in case).

Ultrasonic cleaner you say? You're not gonna believe what I got for Christmas last year 😅
I put it on my wishlist last year specifically for the MegaCD 🤣

You're right! I put it on top of a camera light I have (Lumecube) and the vias are very clear and straightforward!

I just did a continuity test and the pads aren't ruined, just ugly??? OMG!

Will do a bit more cleanup and seal the unnecessarily bare copper and move on to the main board then 😇

Yeah, I fiddled for a while with it on the ST, then a full project on the Megadrive/MegaCD, so got quite fond of it. It was an interesting contrast switching back to Z80 on the Megadrive for the music driver.

Yup. The Master System was definitely more popular up until then, it’s also why the Megadrive was more popular over here than the snes (though that gap closed as the generation went on)

All my mates were Sega kids in the early 90s.

Then Sega pissed it away with the MegaCD and 32X…
