Why do I feel like I'm watching a PBS show from the 90s? The video quality is reminiscent of that era and you know what I really dig it it is definitely not a bad thing.
I’m a little late to the game. Wasn’t sure if there was custom firmware available. This video covered everything I would be interested in. Thank you Lon for the great research.
Definitely looking into getting a Mega SG sometime in the future, I have a Sony HD smart TV up in the bedroom and need one of these for that perfect picture quality through HDMI, money is the problem at the moment. I'm currently using a Mega Drive model 2 system hooked up to it which will do for now but the picture quality isn't very good through composite AV.
It would be great to see more classic golden age console cores released for the Sg. I love the Atari 2600, 7800, and those are hard to get to look good on modern displays.
Yeah, I was really hoping we'd see some of those 20 Kevtris "Bonus Cores™" on the Super Nt, since I bought the AVS instead of the Nt Mini, but it never happened. I figured they wanted to use them in future stand alone Analogue systems. I understand the SMS, GG, SG-1000 cores for the Mega Sg, but the ColecoVision seems odd. I'm not complaining mind you! That gives me hope that we may see the others make their way over to the Sq, but maybe he added the CV only because it's so similar to the SG-1000 hardware. Both of those even being part of the Telegames Dina console. It has slots for both SG-1000 and ColecoVision carts. I think it would be nice and I don't really see Analogue making stand alone consoles for those older cores.
From what I'm hearing that will not be possible.. It would be great to see a modern device that could plug into that port and work with a BIOS on the SG to load in the CD games.
Hopefully we will see a "CopyNES" style addition so we can dump carts. Then I can truly put my Super Magic Drive (Mega Drive copier and floppy diskette drive) away for good. :)
I really want to play “willy beamish” again but it’s such a slow point and click. Is it possible that this system would be quicker or is that slowness built into the game its self?
Thanks man! Your video really helps a lot. Thank you very much. One question, if I jailbreak my mega sg is possible to go back to the oficial firmware?
I was reading somewhere that the Bluetooth pad had considerably more input lag than the Joyzz and the other 8Bitdo 2.4G version. Not sure the exact type of tests that were run.
The test doesn't state which Firmware versions were used on the BT models of the M30 and the Retro Receiver. For me it's working just fine and the 240p Suite Shows Shows almost no latency.
I would love to have one of these just to put it up against the Kega Fusion emulator which emulates Master System, Sega CD, and the 32X. I've been hard pressed to find any differences other than much higher sound and picture quality against my actual Genesis. Digital Foundry screwed up their comparison.
Pier Solar the 64 mb rpg works on this but not the Mega EverDrive X7 so I use this solely for that rom and game gear. I'm not willing to pay $400 CAD for a cart of it so I don't feel bad playing the rom lol.
Oh, I wouldn't feel too badly! Watermelon, and Fonzie in particular, are thieves. I, and many others ordered and paid for Paprium, a brand new Sega Genesis/MD fighting game which looked a lot like Streets of Rage. This was 2 years ago, and he's since taken everyone's money and gone into hiding.. He didn't even pay others he had hired to work on it. So screw WM.
the Japanese version of sonic CD is the original version of sonic CD it's how the people who made the game intended to be until America decided hey let's slap some rubbish music on it like really really bad music on it that'll be ok! terrible.
@@chigimonky he's a bit ranting, but he's fundamentally right: Americans ruin everything they put their hands on. Most normal people's behavior when adapting something is: - let's translate this and make it as close as possible as the original, while the American attitude is: - let's make it "better" :D
30+ ms of lag sounds terrible!, that is nearly 2+ frames of lag... for retro games that is SLOW... I play the Mega SG on the 1080P TV that has less than 13ms lag (less than a frame), and my gaming monitor has less than 5ms lag, or basically instant... these consoles are basically unacceptable on a 4k display.
@@nicklong27 the uk pays duty tax and vat on everything over, i think, £16 from outside the eu(for now). you'd be adding at least 30% to the price, if not closer to 40%. charges would be a suprise and occur on delivery. god save the queen, we mean it man.
