    I always found the Mega Play and Mega Tech systems incredibly interesting because of how the Mega Drive was initially heavily marketed as "bringing the arcade to your home" and now they were bringing the home console games to the arcade, great to see one in beautiful nick.

    You should get a copy of the restoration on a memory stick, along with stills of the process, get the team together to sign a photo, and fix it in the back of the machine for future generations to see.

      flash memory has a pretty limited data retention, especially when never getting powered on to let it error correct flipped bits. Unlike other forms of storing data like burned rom chips or fram. It can get enough bits flipped to not read in a matter of ten years.
      Optical media is the best for longevity if it's a high quality sandwiched design (foil layer encapsulated by the plastic).
