I have stopped using the genesis on stage as of late because all of mine sorta flake a lot due to bad cart connections. Anyone who's played a loud event knows that bumping bass and NES 72 connectors don't always go over well - welll... try the Genesis - it's even worse and most of the damn cart connectors are worn to shit. At least on the NES you can replace them. i wrote Kitch about it and tried to find the answer and pleaded that he might sell new connectors. Seems as though there is already something in production - stop me if someone already posted this and if it's obvious as hell. It took some digging to actually find:

specifically a 64Pin Card Edge Connector w/2.54mm pitch

• The Genesis Mini box is adorable, and even has a moving volume lever, and a cartridge door that opens (you can't put a cartridge in, though, it's so tiny). It's a collector's item, for sure.

Sega Genesis Mini Cartridge Slot Machine

I ordered some - i'll let you know how it goes - it's 64pins to desolder but i think its way worth it for playback stability right? haha...

Sega Genesis Mini Cartridge Slot Machines

Cartridge slots for.Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and.Nintendo SNES/SFC games. Access ROM (program/data) and SRAM 1 (savegames)! 2×2 ports for.Sega and.SNES controllers. Combine them for multi-player fun with up to 4 people! Driverless operation. In the Gamexplain and Digital Foundry reviews for the Sega Genesis Mini they have fake mini cartridges of Sonic 2 and Shinobi III that go in the slot, are these for sale somewhere? I know in japan you can buy the fake Sega CD and 32X add ons.
