Game Gear 1 asic VA4 and VA5
Post Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 5:53 pm
Hi

I've a question on VA4 and VA5 Game Gear versions. I've not found the answer around.
Are these versions only Majesco or there where also "original" Sega Game Gears from the '90 with those schematics?

Thank you!

AFAIK GGs go all the way up to VA6 or VA7 (later Majescos). However, VA4 at the and I think VA5 were also made pre-Majesco. I have seen a ton of variants in my day.

The schematics have not been dumped or leaked for anything beyond VA2 which is a shame. It would also seem that no TV out / LCD mod is possible at the moment with any system other than the VA0 and VA1 models.

Any generic improvements were made on these last VA6 and VA7 mainboards? Or just reduction costs redesign?
