how many layers is the genesis2?

Post by themadhacker »

I am working on a super secret project, and I need to know how many layers are on the genesis 2 motherboard. I need to reduce the size of the genesis, but do not want to cut into any hidden traces.

Now I have heard that the geneis is only two layers, but I need verification before I start slicing.



And for those of you wondering, no I am not trying to fit the genesis into my ag-85 case.

I haven't actually sliced into a board, but I'm almost certain it's just the two layers. I've followed traces, and they're all on the front and back. If I had a dead board, I'd cut into it, but I don't.

I din't find any traces that were not on front or back either, so I should be safe.

Only two layers. The 32X lower board is like 6 layers >_>
