Mi primera videoconsola!! Se que la tengo guardada en alguna parte de la casa, comprada en 1987 el mismo año que llego a Europa nos la regalo mi papá a mi y a mi hermano. No ha sido encendida durante ya casi 30 años! Tengo pendiente tratar de hacerlo, aunque conservo la esperanza me supongo que es casi imposible que arranque. Pero sin duda tu video me va a ayudar a conocer más sobre su funcionamiento. Que belleza de máquina (se que muchos la consideran fea, pero para mi es maravillosa) Gracias Tito por tus maravillosos videos, te descubrí hace un tiempo y considero a tu canal el más detallista en cuanto a modding y conservación del hardware de videojuegos.

A bit better? I would say it looks a lot better in regards to those scratches front and center. Always a welcome sight when someone can resurrect a SMS from the abyss, as it's one more amazing console in the wild. As there was never nearly enough of these amazing systems sold, which was a real shame, as it's one of the best.

The SMS was my first home console. My father bought it and a bunch of games at a garage sale for $20 in the late 80's. For years I'd thought my parents sold it, but I recently stumbled upon it in my mom's attic and I've been meaning to re-cap it. So this video was well timed for me! If it doesn't turn on, I'll be sure to check out those three possible problem areas.

The chance to play the likes of R-Type, Wonder Boy & the Sega arcade games was like all my dreams come true to 10 year old me. Thank you for all your videos , they are brilliant !!

From what I'm told, the most dangerous thing for a Master System is trying to power it with an NES Power Adapter. Not sure if there's a fuse internally that pops or if it's damaging the voltage regulator like in this video, but that'll do it. Funny enough, powering the NES with an SMS or a Genesis power adapter is actually preferred over the NES one. Throw those NES ones away!

Whenever I refurb a console I always replace the 7805 with a modern upgrade, such as a LM7805C or 7805V, which are more linear switching buck convertors. You can also improve long term reliability and reduced heat by going with a 2A model.

@tatecheddar 3 ай бұрын

For that plastic polishing you really should bust out a dremel with a little buffing wheel. It makes it so much faster and then it actually works. Hand polishing should be saved for last when there's literally almost no scratches left other than the most fine ones that can only be seen under light. Maybe even an electric palm buffer. The surface is pretty big.

Nice to see a Master System come back from what might have ended up in a dump somewhere. Nice work. I was one, who had a NES with a Master System sitting right next to it when they were current, I enjoyed the Master System as much as I did the NES. And Phantasy Star is easy one of the best 8-bit games ever made. Also, one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. I even have the "Sega Help sheet" for it, when you could call Sega when you had a problem in a game, and they would mail you a walkthrough. I do re-play it ever 3-4 years. There is a retranslation to the game but, you need a rom cart to play the patched rom, it is impressive to see the text changes in the game. If you want to change it up a little, they did release a sort of remaster of it, in Japan only for the PS2 (Sega Ages). There is an English translation that was done pretty well. It's impressive to see the change and a worthy play if you're a fan. I love seeing retro consoles given a new life. They can last 100's of years if taken care of.
