Sega Genesis console restoration and customization - Sonic Theme

[@peppermintpig974]

There's texture from the blue spraypaint. You can clearcoat afterwards, then lightly wet sand and polish to get rid of that texture.

[@jackofalltrades417]

I'm surprised SEGA never tried this, considering Sonic is their mascot. This would've sold like hotcakes.

[@mult1versal]

most likely not, as alternate colored versions were usually just a handheld thing, and didn’t pop off with consoles until the n64

[@photondebuger45]

@@mult1versal they had the pikachu n64... it was rare tho

[@mgdgamerart456]

with a Tails & Knuckles Genesis controller Close to it.

[@MR.S]

The blue and red gives it this old school vibe great colour choice, Shudve done the controller aswell same colour, Looks too nice man

[@mgdgamerart456]

I think it would be better with a Tails and Knuckles custom controller

[@visualrose85]

I just so happened to run into this video and let me just say, I am sooo happy you aren't one of those channels that dips the board into soapy water and then acts like it works afterwards lol thank you for not messing with my feelings like that lol

[@troytheaverage1256]

This has inspired me to do my Sega Genesis as well. I'm going for Mortal Kombat's Scorpion with the colors. Only thing that sucks is I cannot replicate the stickers on the back since I don't have a machine to do it.

[@navyhmhudson]

Try going on Etsy! I found a store that does custom vinyl prints

[@tkboomerfunwilliamj4949]

That color scheme is RoCkInG I almost expect to see candy just burst out of it lol 🤣

Something about watching the boards get cleaned is very satisfying lol

[@dennisvandergriff5955]

Bad ass...but you should have made a gold ring around the cartridge instead of doing ALL blue. It looks like it would have been one of the rings he collects. Still a phenomenal job on the restoration.👍🏻💫

[@Jarod_Schultz]

I plan on doing a restoration of my SNES that my dad smashed when I was a kid. I want to paint it because the shell has holes that need to be filled and painted over. In my opinion, I think a shell should only be painted if it has cracks or holes that you patch up, and painting it will cover the repair work.

[@princegroove]

Jarod Schultz Did he smash it out of spite? 🤣

[@Jarod_Schultz]

@@princegroove Yes, I came home from school one day, back in the 90's, and wanted to play games and my TV wasn't working right, so I would hit it on the side thinking that would help, so for some reason I gave it a shove and it hit the wall, and put a hole in the drywall. So my dad decided to punish me by smashing my SNES. He bought me a new one a few months later, but I also kept the first one even though it didn't work. I guess I'm sentimental. But I'm glad I kept it, because years later, I became interested in restoration.

[@GioPutty]

This was an awesome restoration of such an amazing system I’ve always wanted a genesis I have some of my dads old games and a remote but the genesis is lost sadly Sonic Is my favorite series and the customization you put on this console was amazing! I subscribed Liked and Left this comment I like how you made the top blue as well I think it matches the other colors well!

[@studiofr]

Thanks buddy, I agree with you, this is an amazing sytem. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GioPutty]

Find & Restore It has some Great games Like Sonic The hedgehog 1,2 and 3(and knuckles) Streets of rage 2 mortal kombat Puyo Puyo and many more classics!

[@jackthome2628]

You did a great job on that mega drive/Genesis

[@B0redom13]

that controller came out so sick.

[@JuanDiaz-jo1rw]

Looks nice but I dont like that the black shiny rim arround the top was painted blue with the rest of the console. It would of looked better in red.

[@studiofr]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@jart122]

That soldering tip though. You should clean the cartridge connector with sand paper and use a paper clip to push the contacts closer to each other. That way no more blowing on the games and no more freezes if you bump the console.

[@thedeadman101]

That looks sick bro awsome job

[@Jayrod64]

Awesome video. I much prefer the model 1 Genesis personally, due to it's superior sound. Still though, those who haven't played the Sega Genesis are missing out a library of great games and a controller that's actually extremely comfortable.

[@RWL2012]

The bad sound actually began with Model 1 revision VA7, was carried over to Model 2 revisions VA0 to VA2.3 and was made "less worse" in Model 2 revisions VA3 and VA4.

[@ghoulishgraveyard9305]

If this was the 90s you would have made a lot of money reselling custom segas

[@waltersobchak7275]

Dude he could make a killing right now.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

I think if you ever got around to doing that, you could make a "Tails" coloured 32X and a Knuckles coloured Sega CD/CD2 lol

[@martinmcneal2778]

Almost wish it was a Sega Genesis Model 1. You get to use all the attachments Sega made. Sega CD, Sega 32X, and the Power Base Converter.

[@RWL2012]

As far as official Sega goes, the Master System Converter II can be imported from Europe or Australia and works on the Genesis 2. It's inconvenient to use the same Mega Drive / Genesis for Master System and 32X though anyway, because it won't run Master System games with the 32X installed.

[@lochanathambeliyagoda5065]

It looks really nice but it could hurt the resell value a bit unless u keep it for ur self but still looks rly gud

[@shafeq786786]

Don’t waste your time using a bud to clean the pcb....simply use water and a brush. Then dry it using a hair dryer and leave for a day or two to dry naturally. I have done this with many arcade pcb’s and even monitor chassis. Works a treat and boards come up like new 😋

[@darnellrogers5595]

I cleaned the model 2 Genesis before I had mine from Disc Replay in Livonia Michigan

[@axelfoley20]

The only thing I would have done different is to buff that clear coat. I imagine you cleared it too right? You have that orange peel look going and if you buff clear coat really well, you can get it to a glass finish, especially if you wet sand with 1000 grit wet sandpaper then buff with a wax.

[@studiofr]

Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻

[@steventartamella454]

Great work.. I would definitely buy that :-)

[@studiofr]

Thanks! 👍🏻

[@VanisherXP]

Very good painjob, but it pains me a bit to see a perfectly fine original shell for a console that is getting rarer by the day get painted over. I think a good alternative is just getting a reproduction shell of the console and paint it over that, that way you can always revert the console to original if you want.

[@richardmiller6829]

I like it Good job

When is the best time to remove the tape so it does not peel the paint?

For me like 5 minutes after the paint works well.

[@phenixnosaint4397]

Hello, What do you use to create the stickers on the back of the console and especially how do you make the genesis and sega logos ? Thanks in advance for the answer. You are doing a good job.

Hi, I did the labels in photoshop, same fonts, same sizes, same colors. For the logos I used may Cricut vinyl cutter machine. 👍🏻

How badly should I be concerned that the paint would fill in things like the “Cartridge Input” lettering on the shell?

Dont get me wrong at what I'm about to say. It's obvious that you love what your doing but in one sector you need a lot of practice and to be exact you need practice at how to properly solder.

Yeah as colorful as the games they had, that is too bad Sega didn’t go limited edition on several Genesis game packages, maybe would have chanced history
