the guy in the video is Simon Ellis (if that means anything) who apparently put it together...


but the parts (or some of them) from what i can see do come from the community....

the screen bezal and cartridge label are defienately from dominator....

and if i was a betting man, i'd bet the house the board is from Helder (even if it is a knock of common ground)


shame no reference to to sudomod, but that might be a legal issue of some kind or not to prompt anything commercially

Sounds like my board indeed 😀
Chat with me and other members On Discord

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Helder's Game Tech Website

We will not support any cloned work so don't come to us with technical issues to resolve, go talk to the cloner for help.
