Yeah, I would love to get S-Video working, and RGB too. But I can't find the pinouts for both. If anyone knows which pins are for RGB on the board, let me know.

Thanks.

Snowkitty: I'm interested in a Jap/US switch, but most importantly, the pinouts for RGB on the board. I know where they are on the DIN cable, but not on the board. If you do know, please share.

Integrity: Thanks, and yes... that 3 is horrid looking. I'm thinking about sanding it down, like Snowkitty said, or maybe just doing a whole paint job.
i don't know the AV pinouts but i can help you with the region mod. been a while since ive done it though so i may have to look it up

I just found a genesis 3 at goodwill. So questions I can't seem to find the answer for. Isn't the only regional protection for mega drive games made pre 1992 a physical one? Just the cart slot, right. So the model 3 can fit mega drive games. Wouldn't the region mod be just for games with the region protection in the coding?

So anyway....can't you play pre 1992 mega drive games on a Model 3 genny? If you put in a region switch can you go back and forth between regions, or do have to open it up and move the jumper? I'm new at this....I've never actually modded a system so any clarification will help.

thnks
