Payment Info
I almost always take PayPal for payment but I can take other forms of payment on request, including money orders and Google Wallet. Of course, I'm always open to trades so if you've got something I want and you want a mod performed, let's work something out!

Shipping Info
Return shipping cost will be through USPS Parcel Post with Delivery Confirmation. If you desire USPS Priority Mail, UPS or FedEx, let me know and I will calculate shipping for you based on your ZIP code (or country) and weight. Please make sure your system or systems are well-packed to avoid shipping damage. Turnaround time is around 1-4 weeks, depending on my personal schedule.

Bumping for 2012!

[ApolloBoy]

Updated.

[ApolloBoy]

All mods all the time now!

[Arkhan]

Not to sound like a dick, but do you have any references about your work?

I'm interested in some stuff from you.  Mainly the NES2 AV mod, and a SNeS cart slut mod.

and I guess maybe a Sega Genesis region switch would be a fun idea.

[Samurai Ghost]

Mainly the NES2 AV mod, and a SNeS cart slut mod.

Haha, cart slut. I guess I'm kind of a cart slut.
By the way, all that mod takes is 3 minutes and a razor blade. Just cut away the two little tabs down where the cart sits near connecter. Instant region free SNES.

Once I get back in the US I plan to ask for the Master System S-Video mod. Do you do work on the Japanese Master System? I assume it would be pretty much the same thing.

[Arkhan]

Oh.  The real deal cart slot mod is as easy as the cart slot mod on the FCTwin and retroduo's and crap? lol

WELL THEN.  time to snap me some tabs

You didn't sound like a dick at all, I'm glad you asked actually. I've done some work for people on Racketboy, Sega-16 and Famicom World. Here's some snippets of what people said about my work:

+1 ApolloBoy

Great communication and does excellent work.

+1 to ApolloBoy! He modded my NES Top Loader and it came back in flying colors! Superb job and I can't thank him enough!

Got my 3/4 mobo model 2 Genesis S-video modded with stereo audio jacks and a region switch so it can play JP games as well. It works perfectly and the mod was a solid job.

Once I get back in the US I plan to ask for the Master System S-Video mod. Do you do work on the Japanese Master System? I assume it would be pretty much the same thing.

The Japanese SMS uses the same video encoder as the model 1 Genesis and AES so an S-video mod is totally doable.

Awesome! Hopefully you'll still do be modding later this year. I'll definitely want to get my Master System worked on, and maybe a couple other systems.

[BigusSchmuck]

You work on commdore 64cs? It will power on, but I don't get a display through the rf adapter.

What RF adapter are you using?

[ApolloBoy]

Bump!

[TR0N]

The only other person i've seen here that does mods on a genesis beside redghost.

Hmm i'll have to keep you in mind i'm supose to get a (model 1 genesis) by next month.

[Mathius]

I might hit you up for a SMS FM mod this spring once MGC is over.

[Arkhan]

Assuming the other two mods from him go good, and I get my XRGBness setup, I might do the same, mathius!

I overlooked that one.  but it wouldn't have fit in the box anyway.  I'll get a red LED also, because it'll be dope fly.
