Hello. I have a Sega Mega Drive model 1 VA6 (it's the same as Sega Genesis) that I plan to recap to improve the sound that, although good, it's not great as other board of the same revision I own.
After much reading I've come to the conclusion that I need high quality capacitors with low ESR (but not too low) from a trusted provider. I bought Panasonic FC but I couldn't find the 1uF 50V neither 1uF 100V, so I got Rubycon ML 1uF 50V, are these ones good for this board? they're general purpose, low ESR and suitable for audio/video according to the provider.
I've been recommended to replace the 7805 regulators that come with the board since the original PSU is linear and it's not very good. I've checked the regulators under load and they give 4.99-5.01V so I'm not sure about changing them since they are working apparently fine.
