Another fallen Virtua Racing

[Released: 1988] The Sega Genesis was Sega's most successful console; though Sega has never released a total sales figure quote. Several add-ons were created including the Sega CD and Sega 32X which extended its capabilities.

Another fallen Virtua Racing

Post by /genesis »


Pour one out for another fallen VR cart. I cleaned it, fixed the cracked casing and even put new thermal paste on it, but my poor VR cartridge is toast. I'm assuming the SVP chip died like many others have. I won't be tossing it. Maybe someday someone will find out a way to revive these things and I'll be there waiting for it. I just wish the homebrew scene was more into the SVP so that maybe repro boards would be a thing.

I will add I wasn't able to get the hot-pocket sleeve back on it when I reassembled the cartridge. I'll fiddle with that and maybe that will somehow appease the gods?
