Game Gear with developer mod

Discussion in 'General Sega Discussion' started by PixelTheCat, Jun 11, 2025 at 8:43 PM.

  1. So I have a Game Gear with a mod to allow output to composite video. I got it at a Saturn developers conference, they were handing them out since the GG was discontinued by then. It's not the full layout board, but a modified Japanese GG. I can't find any mention of one of these online, so I figured I'd at least take a couple of pictures.

    they used to have pictures of this back up on the old, old assembler games, when it was a personal site with pictures instead of a forum. But I haven't seen pics of this kind of game gear in years and years online. I seem to also remember seeing a pic of these once in gamepro many many years ago. Cool stuff!

    Thanks for sharing, post it on smspower.org, a few different dev GGs with TV out have been posted there over the years, not sure if this specific version is documented or not.

    That's really neat, did you have to use a breakout cable or something to hook it up to a monitor?
     
  6. Yes, it came with breakout cables for composite video + line level audio
