Description

Sega has done meaningful, arguably irreparable harm to the consumer proposition of purchasing its classic games, while Nintendo has elevated 30-year-old products to must-have status. As a one-time Genesis kid whose nostalgic sweet spot is a Sega Genesis, I feel qualified to say that the Genesis deserves better from its owner. But as long as Sega is willing to license out its platform instead of making its own hardware, it seems unlikely to get better than this, the most declarative console war victory imaginable.

Curiously the HDMI input alone carries enough power to light the console's power LED, potentially giving the false impression that the system is plugged in and switched on. Knight, Rich (April 30, 2018). "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time". Complex . Retrieved 2022-02-05. This is not a selection of the best the Mega Drive had to offer. Gunstar Heroes? The entire Streets of Rage series? Castlevania: Bloodlines? MUSHA? Splatterhouse? I’m literally just looking at the list of games already released on Virtual Console. This is what it looks like inside it, it looks alot like THEC64 Mini/Maxi board, well they all work the same way, just have different SoC and different Firmware. Seems easy enough, right? You probably navigate with the D-pad and ... wait, what’s this? Enhance: This is definitely intuitive.

Perhaps AtGames is limited in what it is allowed to put on the system, but Sega should be at least a little embarrassed by this. It would be great to see the two companies get together and produce something that’s actually reflective of the very best games on the platform. Here is the story as far as I know. My current position is unknown. I can't find the galaxy I am in on any of my many star-maps. With no start point I cannot even calculate a return trajectory so I seem doomed to a life of aimless drifting..." On the other hand, games from all territories seemed to run just fine as long as they were officially licensed Sega products. The Lion King, Battletoads, and Bubsy all worked, regardless of what territory they were originally released in. Of course, classic Mega Drive controllers don’t have a Rewind button, but holding left on the D-pad and pressing Start activated the rewind function. This is convenient but makes me worry I might press it accidentally. CVG Preview - CD-i" (PDF). Computer and Video Games. No.159. Future Publishing. February 1995. p.44.

They did a HD one for 2017 which had problems, and then 2018 uses Genesis GX Plus they licensed and added a SD card slot on the right which ended up finally being a solid unit.

Recommendations

Master System and Game Gear roms are not yet supported from the SD card. The emulator can clearly run them, but the firmware does not reconize the extension. Hopefully a future update will change this. The European Firmware is based on the US version but I've replaced the assets, the "About" section will not be displayed as it's the US firmware Master System: Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Alex Kidd: High-Tech World, Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars, Assault City, Astro Warrior, Dragon Crystal, Fantasy Zone, Fantasy Zone: The Maze, Kenseiden, Kung Fu Kid, Phantasy Star, Psycho Fox, Snail Maze, The Ninja.
