SC-3000 Survivors MEGACART (2018)

Buy your own Sega SC-3000 Survivors Megacart / Multicart

Update: 30 Sept 2024 : Hi All. I'm doing another short run of Sega SC-3000 / SG-1000 Megacarts. So let me know if you're interested and I'll put you on the list. This doesn't run to an exact schedule, sorry. That's just how I make this hobby work around work / family life - I make a few, then I ignore my emails for a few months until I get another block of time.

The Megacart is super cool though :) It even supports around 70 converted Coleco and MSX titles now like Gyruss, Time Pilot, and Tutankham as well as the SC-3000 tape software etc.

So read this page to register your interest for the next batch, or even if you just want to ask a few questions.

Cheers :)

Update: 17 May 2018 : The Multicart Project is still alive and kicking. The brand new SC-3000 Survivors MEGACART is now available. It has all the tape games you know and love, but has double the capacity of the original Mk II Multicart for ROM storage and it now also works on the Sega SG-1000 / II / Mark III

Remember this is a hobby project, so it may take a couple of weeks to assemble your cart..

Thanks for your interest in the SC-3000 Survivors MEGACART

3D Printed Mega Cases designed by 6mmbrx

You will receive:

SC-3000 MEGACART PCB
2 x 27C160 16MBit EPROMs
3D Printed Cartridge Case / Shell with Vinyl Megacart label
The Menu System, 70+ items of SC-3000 Tape Software, autoscan system for adding your own SG-1000 ROMs, Basic IIIB, Music Editor, VGM Music tracks
Some Korean / Taiwanese ROMs. These were originally designed for slightly different systems and required some modification to run on the multicart
The Megacart is compatible with around 70 converted Colecovision and MSX games too.

There are a few things you should be aware of:

You will need to find / add SG-1000 ROMs yourself

We really don't want to ship any SG-1000 ROM games like Congo Bongo, Star Jacker etc. with the multicart. Those are easy to find on the Internet, and we don't want any nasty letters from the companies who hold the copyrights to the SG-1000 games.

The Multicart will ship with the packaged SC-3000 tape games, various home brew software, and the menu system. Our hope is that the individuals who wrote the tape software will see this as a nice tribute from dedicated fans who have treasured their creations for the last 35 years and they won't chase us with pitchforks :)
Hobby Project

This is a hobby project for dedicated SC-3000 fans - it is not a commercial venture. It is a lot of work to design, test, build, debug, order parts, assemble, ship, provide support etc. So although we do our best to respond to emails and orders quickly, real life sometimes has to come first :)
EPROM Programmer and UV Eraser

The MEGACART has two 27C160 16MBit EPROMs. This is enough space for 96 SG-1000 games in addition to the packaged tape games, VGMs, Korean ROMs etc. that ship with the multicart.

But if you want to add the SG-1000 ROMs yourself you will need an EPROM / Flash programmer (approx $45-50 USD on eBay including shipping) and a UV Eraser (approx $20USD on eBay including shipping).
We can point you in the right direction if you need assistance with that.

And if all you want is the packaged tape games and Korean ROMs the multicart comes with, that's cool too - they will run out of the box.
The MEGACART works on a SC-3000, SG-1000, SG-1000 II, or Mark III. But most of the tape software requires a keyboard.

So you may need a SK-1100 Keyboard to use the tape software with a SG-1000 or Mark III. Some of the games like Burglar Bill run fine without a keyboard, but some like 1986 won't work without a keyboard.
The largest SG-1000 ROM you can store on here is 48KB. This isn't an Everdrive. That is a better solution if you want Master System games rather than SC-3000 / SG-1000 games.

Yes, I want one, or at least I'm still interested.

Just fill in the Contact Us form and let us know if you want to place an order, or even just ask us some questions. If you've read this far you are probably a keen SC-3000 fan, so we're happy to chat :)
