The Sega MegaPi (formerly GenePi, thanks to @TotalInsanity4 for the name!) is a project I've started. I'm taking my Sega Genesis and sticking a Raspberry Pi (Gen 1 Model B+)in the case.
Sounds simple, but I need some help.
First off, I must mention an idea I've had. Utilize the cartridge slot! Basically, I need to find the pinout for an SD card and Genesis game. Then I have to figure out where to wire it on the Raspberry Pi. The gimmick I'm trying to replicate is that the console doesn't turn on when there's no game in it. In reality, the Sega MegaPi won't turn on because the game is actually the SD card that has the operating system.
Another problem is the ability to switch out the Pi. If at all possible, I'd like to make it to where parts are replaceable. By parts, I of course mean the Pi itself.
Some minor things I'd like to do is redo the decals (like the Sega logo and the Genesis logo.) Anyone know what to do?
