In this video I show my overclocked and fully modified PAL Sega Mega Drive. It has been overclocked to have the option of running at 10Mhz instead of the standard factory 7Mhz. As well as being overclocked it has also been region modded to play games at either 50/60Hz - PAL/NTSC and language modded to play in either English or Japanese. I have also added extra video and stereo outputs to the rear of the console.

I give a brief description of what all the mods do then I show some comparison footage of games running with and without the mods enabled.

My Mega Drive is hooked up to a 1080p Sony Bravia HDTV via RGB Scart. The picture quality I get from it is stunning. The colours are vibrant and the image is extremely clear/sharp. I've taken some stills to compare the difference between RGB Scart and Composite.
