3DO Savegame upgrade - is there a reasonable market?
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 4:17 am
Hi,
I'm testing an option to add 256K to the mainboard of my FZ-1 instead of trying to find the hard to find and too expensive memory expansion unit released in Japan.
I'm in the states, and I know this forum is UK, but it was the biggest 3DO forum I could find, and I need an honest opinion on this.
If my idea works, I could do this mod for around $50 US, add another $10 to replace the backup battery with a user replaceable battery holder and new battery.
Buyer pays shipping both ways.
I'm also entertaining the option of just sending the parts and instructions to the buyer for around $30 US.
The upside - 256K of savegame data space and user replaceable battery!
The downside - you lose your old savegame info (which will happen anyway when the battery dies)
I haven't seen this mod available anywhere else, so I thought it would be cool to bring something to the table that is reasonably priced, and will benefit 3DO owners.
Take the poll, or answer back and the results here will help me to decide if I will offer this to the public, or just mod my own 3DO and call it quits!
Thank you!
