Holy Crap!

Out of curiosity Wiggy, do the model 1 Genesis systems you own say "High Definition Graphics" above the cartridge slot? Supposedly, model 1's that contain those words, have the best sound card inside the Genesis.

It's worth checking the ones that don't say it too - some of the earliest of the models 1's WITHOUT the "High Definition Graphics" ALSO have the awesome sound chip, AND they also have the best revision of the video chip out of all the Model 1's. No rainbow banding or artifacts. ;) (revision 6 I believe...)
The way to tell is the check the back:
If it looks like this (the same as the earlier model 1's, except for the EXT port being covered, and everything is on the right side) then it is the GOOD ONE.
If it looks like this (everything moved to the left side of the back panel) then it's the really BAD ONE.
All of my info is from this article (it's really a fun read!):

Hmm, running downstairs to check...

Cool, apprently I have a "Good One". I actually modded mine with a region switch and that extra space on the back was the perfect place to mount the switch. The switch even works with Master System games using the Power Base Converter.

Effin' A! Both my model one units are of the more desirable variety :D
Well, now that I'm buying Genesis/CD/32X games, I had to make some more room. I'm seriously getting low on space and I'm actually out of space on my SNES shelves. Oh well, I'm having too much fun making covers for a new system to slow down :D
There's actually 8 games on there now, including two 32X games.
Been really into collecting the portables lately.
Managed to squeeze the rest of my consoles on the bottom there.
Anyone have any cheap TG16 commons that they're looking to unload? Preferably loose because I'm a cheapass and I'm just gonna make my own cases anyway :P
