Mini SS Main Board for CM4 Lite – PreOrder

Description

Description:

1. This mainboard supports BANDAI Best HIT Chronicle 2/5 SEGASATURN (HST-3200).
2. This mainboard supports Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4
   for less configuration issues, we suggest to purchase “Raspberry Compute Module 4 Lite“ (with WiFi or without WiFi are both fine),
   as it would boot from SD card directly. (The other module (non-Lite version) would boot from internal eMMC first)
3. Mini HDMI video output and also support CRT (Composite and RGBS both are supported).
4. With extension board (would be released openly later), you can get 1Gibabit ethernet network connection and you also can use the original Sega Saturn video/audio cable to connect to your old-school monitor and also.
