Newly manufactured SEGA CD RAM cart and PBC

[Duke.Togo]

A friend pointed me to a couple of items from a seller on eBay that are pretty interesting. I love it when new products are created for classic consoles, so I thought I would pass them on for those interested:

SEGA CD/MEGA CD backup RAM cart: New design with removable battery, and it also includes a USB port for power so you won't lose saves when changing the battery: http://www.ebay.com/itm/S...y&hash=item19df22f93b

Cart style Power Base Converter: Only works for carts, but would allow those without a model 1 to play Master System games: http://www.ebay.com/itm/S...s&hash=item19df96a155

that's sick.

Been checkin' out a couple things that are related to this, lately. I'd almost forgotten about the Sega CD backup cart, which is something I wouldn't mind having. The master base converter seems like a must-have as well, but I only have a Model 1 machine-- hey, wait a minute, the decription states that it will work on a Model 1 Genesis/MD too! What kinda shananigans are you tryin' to pull here, Duker?!

It will work on Model 1, but I would guess that most Model 1 owners would just go with a real PBC since it looks better and can play cards/use 3D glasses. Plus an original PBC loose would be cheaper.

Thinking of picking up the RAM cart at some point, making a shell from a sports game, and making a repro RAM label to go on it.

Oops, didn't take the 3D glasses into consideration. Thanks for the heads-up.

Oh, okay then. Obviously I'm not actively hunting for one, or I'd know this fact already. It's one of those things where if I stumble across one, then cool.

If I get one, I'll probably just remove the label from the shell, and put some oddball doodles on the deal with a gold Sharpie. Then when I'm done I'll just stare at the finished artwork, and watch it come to life 'cuz I'll be high on the gold Sharpie fumes.

I sometimes wonder what spending a day with the 'Norch would be like. I'm guessing trippy.

This looks pretty cool. Once I get my Sega CD working and some games for it I might pick this up. I'll put it in my back lot of things to get

I remember someone was looking for a cheap Sega-CD RAM cart. Hopefully they discover this post.
