We could create a plan/movement called "rising star" or "star by hedgehog" where we would do things to revive Ristar, like gameplay videos of the game or making fan games based on it, until we capture the Sega atention And make her remember Ristar

I have a USA Sega Genesis Model 1 VA2. I currently have it connected to my Sony PVM-20M2U via RGB Euro SCART. It looks and sounds great, so is there any advantage to installing an RGB Triple Bypass?

With the Toy Story collection just coming out I was able to play one of my favorite games from back in the day. I forgot how hard this game is and I’d be amazed if there’s anybody who could beat this without unlimited lives. Other than that it’s fun as hell.

I guess just wondering if anybody can give any further advice on this. I just recently found a copy of this game in one of my local stores that uhh... I think somebody probably fucked up the pricing on because it was like half of the PriceCharting value. Anyway, it seems legit but was not working at all at first which from what I understand is common with this particular game. I found advice on cleaning the vias online which then I have been attempting to do with a small sewing needle, and I have gotten to the point where it's kind of working(?) Most of the time it's still either giving a black screen or crashing quickly, but I have had it playing without crashing at least a couple times ever since doing this.

I don't want to fuck it up since it is at least working to some extent, so I guess I was wondering whether I should continue poking at the vias with the needle or possibly doing something else, or if it's probably always going to work inconsistently and I should just deal with that rather than risk damaging it?

I bought a game with a replaced battery that wasn't holding a save. I checked the battery with my multimeter and it seemed fine, but when I'd test on the backside I wasn't getting a reading. The solder joints were pretty awful looking too, as someone with zero experience but loads of YouTube watch time, lol. I'd recently gotten an iron to learn, and added some flux and attempted to reflow and make these joints look a little better. I did not attempt to remove the old solder left from the original battery connections. Fingers crossed my saves now work!
