I've long been on the hunt for the perfect Genesis / Mega Drive Cartridge PCB. In this video I'll try to save others time and confusion by sharing some of the info I've learned along the way.

A big thanks to René of DB-Electronics for sharing some great info, on what to look out for when hunting for good boards. In his article over on RETRORGB.COM.
