Had to replace my headset for my Beast so I went with the Kingston HyperX Cloud II in Black/Red

It's all eeproms, but whether I use a donor board or say a Second Dimension branded board depends on the game and the requirements. I have some donor boards and cases, although I hate using donor's, I'm not too upset over it.

Started with that lot, stripped all labels off with help from my rework station hot air gun, then went over everything with goo gone and rubbing alcohol to ensure they were clean. I've separated it all into single-chip boards, multi-chip boards, and SRAM boards, as well as Sega, Acclaim, and Virgin branded cases. This way if I make a repro such as Blockbuster World Championship II (which I did make myself a copy of after recreating the logo), I can use an Acclaim case for it.

Nice, I really appreciate your attention to detail and the system that you have worked out. Hey clean!

Definitely.
When I first figured out how to make them, I put together about 15 games for myself ;D

Yeah, I've got a pretty decent stack of Genesis repro's I've made myself!

I've never been a huge shmup fan (OH GOD BLASPHEMY!), so what I made myself was pretty limited to translated RPG's (IE: Monster World IV), Platforms, and other games I always wanted to get and be able to play.
Such as:
Sailor Moon
Bare Knuckle III
Mega Man The Wily Wars
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Bad Apple Demo (because it's pretty neat to see what the Genesis can do)
Pulseman
Then there are the game improvements/hacks. For example, I own Phantasy Star IV and it's one of my favorite RPG's on the platform, but it suffers from a really bad bug if your party members hit level 99, or if you learn the final ultimate technique for the main party member. For other games, sprite fixes and difficulty tweaks for games I own, with the labels being marked "Enhanced" or "Improved" alongside my Cat House Games logo to be able to differentiate them very easily from my master copy.
