Credits and sources

This guide is original content written for this wiki. It was inspired by the broader Sega Genesis and Mega Drive enthusiast community, whose collective documentation, forum discussions, and shared repair experience over the years have kept this hardware alive and well understood.

How this was written

Every page here was composed from scratch in our own words. Where we describe hardware behavior, modding techniques, and repair procedures, we have aimed for accuracy based on widely established community knowledge rather than copying any single source. Product and tool names are mentioned in plain text purely to identify them, not as endorsements or links.

Attribution

Detailed attribution for the community resources and prior documentation that informed this work is maintained in the accompanying Credits.txt file. We are grateful to the developers, modders, and repair technicians who freely share their findings and make hobbyist preservation possible.

Corrections

Hardware lore evolves as people discover new details about board revisions and techniques. If you spot an inaccuracy, contributions and corrections are welcome so the guide can stay reliable for the next reader.
