Modifying PAL Megadrive (not allowed on board) to PAL60 (allowed on boards)

Model 1 Megadrive: https://youtu.be/7j5DBm-XL6s

It is recommended to do on a Model 1 Megadrive, due to having much better documentation of the board. This mod puts your console in NTSC mode, but due to the oscillator it will run at 59.3 vs 59.94. The difference is incredibly small, so this is allowed on the board. This mod will set your console to NTSC, if you are looking to add a switch to swap between PAL and NTSC (or load certain region locked games such as Sonic Classics cart) there are plenty of easy guides to follow, however since it is not needed to use a PAL system on this board it will not be posted here.



Edit: Model 2 Megadrive (follow at own discretion since Model 2 boards vary more)

Updated Knuckles in Sonic 2 tutorial. 
Covering the whole game but focusing on THE fastest (and hardest) strats.
I recommend to mix and match Michael's older Knuckles tutorial for any easier routes that aren't covered.
Shoutouts to Haty12345, Werster, Joeybaby, Superboomfan, Kaan, and many other Sonic 2 community members who discussed these strats.
I will endeavour to keep the playlist updated with new videos of faster strats as I learn of them.
