The same software my kids and I are using to make our Genesis game is getting an update in the near future that will let us develop for Master System and Game Gear, so I figured that was as good as excuse as any to get the real thing.

So far, very impressed with how it feels and plays. Super ergonomic, and the screen somehow feels bigger than on my Retroid with an objectively bigger screen. Any recommendations for Game Gear exclusives for someone who already has a Master System?

Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice. This is my first time recapping anything, just wanted to know if this was something I've done wrong, or the screen needs replaced? Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

Recapping a Game Gear I bought after having success recapping my dad's old one.

When taking this one apart, the power board cable was very stubborn coming out. As a result, two pins went with the cable (see images). I ordered a new power cable from Retro Six and assumed it would come with the harness that I could solder to the power board but it doesn't seem to be the case. I did message them beforehand but I may not have explained myself properly.

How do I go about connecting the new power cable when the harness is missing pins? Do I remove the harness and solder the cable directly to the board? Any help or links to help in my new hobby would be much appreciated! Thanks!
