Sorry I'm new to this. I'm wanting to make a sega console with 4 controller mounts on the front of the console like other 4 player console are made. I'd like to make it from the sega 1 or 2 (or 3 if I can add an LED) with the "team player" adapter to be used for NBA Jam and College Slam. Wanting: inclosed 1-4 player console jacks upgraded LED power on light (5mm) best sound and video able to play NBA Jam/College Slam the smaller the better Any info on this would be great.
If you want the best Audio & Video, go with the Model 1, the early Model 1 units easily have the best Audio & Video.
yeah i know the model 1 is easily modded but I was hoping for the model 2 or 3 because they are a little smaller.
If size is a serious issue, yeah go with the Model 2 (don't waste your time with the Model 3 unless you're making a really small portable), generally the Model 2 is kinda cheap and flaxty though.
I'm sure he's already aware of the existence of the multi-tap, he's just gotta find one (last time i checked they arent very expensive, i picked mine up for £10), open it and find a way to fit it in the case. Make sure to buy the second model of the Team Player with 2 controller cables and an Extra switch, that supports both EA and Non-EA games, where as the older Team Player doesn't work with games requiring the 4 Way Player.

I have the multi-tap, I have sega models 1, 2, and 3. I want to make a custom case for a sega with 4 controller ports that can play 1-4 players on College slam. I'm sure I'm going to have to add some extra switches or something just to make sure I can play 1 and 2 player, and 3+ players. I was hoping someone already has posted a mod with a built in 1-4 player multi-tap so I could use it as a guide. The custom case I can do, I just need help with making sure I do the hard wiring correctly.
I've never seen a mod like that, as for the switches, Sega's adapter contains a switch to alter modes so you keep compatibility with most games, the only game that doesn't work is Columns III since it has a 5-player mode, but that game sucks anyway.
what about using a model 1 case with a model 2/3 boards to give you extra room inside for a multi-tap. should be able to make it look stock with 4 controller ports
You could, but it's probably not necessary. Additionally, all Model 2s have inferior audio and most have inferior video.
I plan on doing a CCAM mod and using RGB hookups and tv. I'd rather mod a model 2 than use model one. Does the team player work if you just wanted to use one controler/player?
Perfect, now I just need to find me a model 2 va4 and I can start working on this. I ran this by my brother, he says it should be pretty easy for him to do the wiring/soldering for me.
Not chip transplant per se, but you can get most of the quality back by rebuilding the audio and video circuits. I think the audio will still be mixed a little differently compared to the early Model 1s, but whether that's better or worse is subjective. Or, if you're me, you plug it into a 32X. Doesn't do anything for the audio, but at least there's no vertical bars on the screen now.
Vertical rainbow bars? Dang, I must have one of the late model 1s with inferior AV chips. Unless the RF is doing that...
