Mines taking shape, I should have a few pics of my mods too but will post them when the case is done.
Need to find something to make some neat holes in plastics for the switches,,, Where is a Dremil when you need one?
Excuses, excuses.. :roll:Quote:

Coould anyone link me to a guide to do the oscilator based 12.5MHz mod? :unsure:
Oh I've seen 21cm holes go for a lot more than that mate! :lol:
Page 1 of this thread has the guides I used for the mod, or you could just look at what I did. ;)Quote:

Get some masking tape and place it over the area to drill, then measure of and mark up your holes so they are even, then start with the smallest drill bit you can to make a guide hole before enlarging it.
For other types of cut a modelling saw, or hand saw, craft knife/ stanley knife and various small files and sandpaper will help. I also use my wife's emery boards to finish up as they are dual sided and produce a nice smooth finish.
Hmm... sadly theyre slidey switches... wish I'd bought the other type now but they dont look as 'megadrivey'. :lol:
... This could be a problem...
Like mine?
Yup, similar only the metal part of mine goes on the inside.
This means only the switches show on the outside, so I'm gonna need some neat holes... :ninja:
What about creating a fascia? A covering, plastic or otherwise that will go over the switches, maybe one with the labels on.
Hmm thats interesting... I'm still going to need to buy some kind of tools either way though :(

Much appreciated, but the price shipping will be both ways I may aswell buy one :lol:
Even shipping one way would prolly be a bit much. Maybe a friendly soul in uk can lend you one:)

Perhaps... Meeting a few friends from uni for a drink tomorrow. I'll see if any of those happens to have one... :thumbsup:
Parcel Force picked up the parcel this morning, I've sent a PM with the consignment number. :)
Received this morning. Waiting a bit before connecting it, as it's very cold outside today :ninja:
Edit: Working great :thumbsup:
This thread can now be closed, if you please :)
Blimey, that was fast! 2 days from UK to Denmark. Well, I hope you enjoy it. I did.
Certainly! I'm enjoying it very much. Have a few issues, but that was to be expected and for another day and thread :)Quote:

Any thoughts?
I have to admit that I hadn't noticed any problems loading any games. The only problems I saw were trying to access the menu in overclocked mode.
Are you seeing the problems in another Megadrive?
Oops, I missed your reply :Doh:Quote:

The 12.5 oscillator is only in action when the switch is set to 12.5, right? It's weird I think. Could be an issue with the MD itself I suppose.
Setting the Everdrive to use it's own internal clock (Genny3 mode) seems to solve the issue and actually makes the everdrive work properly even while overclocked :thumbsup: SD card runs a bit slower though, but I haven't really noticed.
Yes, the switch mechanically changes which frequency you use, when it's on 7 Mhz, that's the only signal it gets.Quote:

I thought the wires were short enough as it worked reliably enough here when I tested it. You could try shortening the 7mhz signal wire a little, see if that helps.
Ah good idea. Will try that.

Haven't gotten around to trying a shorter wire since it works great on the Everdrive's internal timer :whistle:
In any case, this can be closed as I have what i Wanted :thumbsup:
Thanks again r0jaws!!
Closed as requested :-)
