Circuit Bent Sega Mega Drive II

Here is my circuit bent Sega Mega Drive II, running with the Jurassic Park cartridge. Built as a VJ tool for parties, it has an RCA patch bay on the top, connected to 6 of my favourite bends.

Not the most difficult project, but produces amazing glitch art.

I initially planned 2 x RCA patch bays, but found only 5 bends I really liked.

Inspired by Gijs Gieskes.

i have two questions:

1- what's the point of all this?

2- how is a "good" bend diferent from a "bad" one?

i don't mean to insult, just asking out of curiosity. i really don't know the anwser to those questions.

1. Cause it looks amazing through a projector: /watch?v=FyKnHOlc5FI

2. Good bend: produces good results. In this instance, fully sick visuals.

I might just have to open up my genesis and have a go at bending it :)

@briankubatdotcom DO IT. Suprisingly easy. You just need a steady had to solder to those pesky ICs.

@shintburnt Cheers. If I had any video editing talent I'd make a film clip. I guess I'd better start learning.

@D0tAY I've also had nice glitches with the TRex on the intro screen, moving and dissolving into blocks.

[BaumDerProllige]

you have found some good bends.

Really like the moments with the triceratops sprite moving around with glitch backgrounds SUPER FUN TIMES
