SOLD Sega NEPTUNE Board, SMD parts populated

Mark your items as sold
I sent mine to Christa Lee because I wasn't confident I could transfer the customs. She's apparently done a few of these, which is more than I've done. She charges $300 to install donor parts to a bare Cosam board, but cut the price to $150 since @SnakeGrunger 's board already has SMD parts in place. I will inform my wife that buying SnakeGrunger's board netted me a savings of $80, so it's actually good for the family.

If you don't get the expensive DVIZIX shell, you can use the Genesis model 2 shell. However, for 32X carts to fit, you either need an extender/adapter or you need to trim the model 2 shell.

What sound chip this board takes ? Model 1 or Model 2 ?
Did you look at the github - it takes a whole bunch of chips.

From the github:

The project was initially based on a VA1 PAL Mega Drive 2 and VA1 PAL 32X. Other Mega Drive/Genesis revisions may be usable if these also use a 315-5660 or compatible ASIC.

So that is what I ended up using - although my 32x was VA0. That ASIC in particular is important. YMMV with other Genesis variants. And - it has the triple bypass built in - so audio and video should be as good as THAT can get.
 
thanks, I have never had the triple bypass on my genesis but always preferred the warm sound of my model #1, does this mod cleans up the sound quite abit i.e. remove genesis 1 warm audio?
