So I finally got around to recapping the #SEGA MegaDrive v1 that I was working on. It originally had a problem with the 8-bit sound not working. I cleaned everything with IPA, removed the old caps and cleaned a bit more. @_B_ took a look with his microscope and found one SMD resistor on the bottom which was not properly connected (and fixed it). After putting the new caps and voltage regulators on I am delighted to report that it is now working correctly! ✊
