+## Introduction |
|
| 2 | 4 |
Project that aims to fix the Model 2 Sega Genesis's composite video clock that uses the console's crystal oscillator instead of using an external one. |

-This repo contains the schematic, PCBs, and Gerber files for the Composite Video clock fix for Model 2 Sega Genesis consoles: revision VA0, VA1, and VA1.8 boards. Removal of R61 on the console's board is **_required_**. |

+This repo contains the schematic, PCBs, and Gerber files for the Composite Video clock fix for Model 2 Sega Genesis consoles: revision VA0, VA1, and VA1.8 boards that contain the infamous Samsung KA2195D NTSC video encoder. The Gerber files can be used for other PCB fabs. |

+Notes: |
|
| 9 |
+* These are KiCad 6 files, so KiCad 5 and earlier will not work with these. |
|
| 10 |
+* This does not fix the RGB jailbars, as it is a somewhat different (yet related) issue. |
|
| 11 |
+* This particular PCB uses Imperial 1206 size SMD components. |
|
| 12 |
+* Removal of the original 10K resistor on R61 on the console's board is **_required_**. |
|
| 13 |
+* R61_L is +2.5V as VREF, connecting to SBCR. |
|
| 14 |
+* R61_R is GND, connecting to C24, then KA2195 pin 6. |

+## Details |

+This [twitter thread (through nitter.net)](https://nitter.net/AmiSapphire/status/1496249012688756744) is the original instruction-like thread (with video examples as well). In short: |
|
| 20 |
+ |
|
| 21 |
+* you remove R61 from the board |
|
| 22 |
+* mount the board to the console's CPU |
|
| 23 |
+* have one wire connect to R61's left pad from the R61_L pad |
|
| 24 |
+* have one wire connect to R61's right pad from the R61_R pad |
|
| 25 |
+* have one wire connect as ground to wherever ground can be, e.g. C4's right pad, C1's left pad |
