Given I've covered the Fei Hao Chinese Mega Drive clone, I thought it was only fair to cover what passes as an officially licenced release, in the world of Sega; The AT Games Sega Genesis Flashback HD / AT Games Sega Mega Drive Flashback HD.
Now this little machine has received some bad press. It's often touted as the Mega Drive Mini or HD Genesis; essentially Sega's answer to the SNES Classic Mini. But, people have criticised everything from its sound, to its clunky menu system. But I'm not one to take what I hear as scripture. I'm going to test this Sega Flashback and find out if it's actually as bad as some people make out. I mean AT Games must surely have learnt by now... surely?

The big mystery with AT Games is that no matter how many attempts they've had at putting out a Mega Drive system, they simply can't get the emulation right. You'd think - just given the laws of chance - they'd have managed to get it right at least once!

@geoserenity 6 лет назад

Martin H now to be fair, they have come closer than a lot of other cheap console clones. A number of more expensive ones too

@Felamine 6 лет назад

Especially considering emulation for the Genesis/Mega Drive has existed for almost 20 years, and decent emulators have existed on ARM architecture for at least half a decade. Not to mention they have full licensing support from Sega themselves.

@geoserenity 6 лет назад

Strider VM that IS sad, android is better

@geoserenity 6 лет назад

Strider VM i would not, android is really it’s own thing regardless of how it started.

@Nukle0n 6 лет назад

The reason a Raspberry Pi can have a better emulator is because you can get one of the open source ones that have a billion manhours put into it to get the sound right. When ATgames makes one of these they have to develop their own emulator, or license someone else's, and it's extremely rarely happened that someone has licensed a fan-made emulator. Alternatively you can do like Hyperkin and just piss all over the people who made an emulator by using their source code without permission.

@noeuro 6 лет назад

There seems to be quite a lot of frame skip on the Sonic games, which should run at a solid 60. Is this how it plays or is it how you're capturing the video? Depressing if the former as it suggests that the hardware isn't powerful enough.

@Nostalgianerd 6 лет назад

The machine has frame skip issues.

@noeuro 6 лет назад

Ah that's a shame. Still not too bad and it depends on the game also of course.

@Calicoma 6 лет назад

I've had one for a while now and I notice it mostly on the faster paced games, mostly Sonic titles, though I have not fully tried all of them yet.

@Scottish_Heat 6 лет назад

John Daniel Not good for racing or Sonic games. Can't play OutRun which slows the console down which is disappointing.

@zusurs 6 лет назад

It’s just so strange - hardware on this emulator device is literally thousands (!!!) of times faster than the original Megadrive, and it still sucks on emulation. It’s just pure laziness if the programmers!

The irony is you can load Mega drive roms onto the SNES Mini and it plays them flawlessly.

@Calicoma 6 лет назад

I have to say that this is probably the most fair review I've seen since I got mine. A lot of the complaints it's gotten have felt a bit harsh after actually using the device. And the unofficial games are horrible. I've tried to play through them all and if the horrible, short, repetitive songs doesn't make you quit, the horribleness of them will. One of my bigger complaints is that I cannot figure out how to either reset the thing or delete save states. It annoys me to be asked repeatedly if I'd like to load my state, but if you don't use slot 1, it will not ask you. It has no official support for adding any extra games, but upon disassembly, people have found out that it is running android and has a USB port. Using ADB, they were able to add roms to it, so that might be something to look for if you purchase one.

Don't get me wrong, ATGames genesis/ Mega Drive products have always been spotty, and this one is no exception in many regards. But it is nice to see a fair review of this product without bashing it wholeheartedly. It is a shame that there isn't a higher quality Genesis throwback system though. Though I have to say, ATGames latest Atari Flashback is pretty nice.

@mattkugelman4369 6 лет назад

@dipakroli411 6 лет назад

Hello! Great and very complete review! Don't you know if the "Sega Genesis 4-Player Adapter" by EA sport works with this console?

@dibbsgaming 6 лет назад

How does this thing handle 50/60 hz? Do you have the option to switch between them? SoR2 seemed either like the machine was struggling to keep up, like you said, but it also was similar to how PAL games run at 50hz with the slower speed.

@Oysterblade84 6 лет назад

+Dibbs of the Grig Gaming Good question: I fear it ignores 50Hz all together and runs everything in 60Hz, but I think that means it won't play alot of the PAL region locked games made by Capcom and Konami. As someone said above, there appears to be no PAL localisation, yet it's bearing the European PAL Mega Drive logo.

@Darxide23 6 лет назад

Comparing this thing to the SNES Mini isn't quite fair. The Mini is manufactured by Nintendo themselves. This is third party licensed. Of course the Mini will be better quality. That said, I think Sega would benefit greatly from designing their own retro console that was capable of playing all official Genesis/Mega Drive games, Master System games, Game Gear games, and possibly even 32X games. It would be harder to do Sega CD just because the inclusion of an optical drive in one of these things starts straying too far from the concept of a small, inexpensive box to play your retro games. I know Sega is "out of the hardware market", but this probably wouldn't even be much of a stretch for them since all of these systems ran on essentially the same hardware and it's not like Sega would be working from scratch.

@Blink_____ 6 лет назад

if they were smart they'd license Kega Fusion from Steve Snake

@SomeOrangeCat 6 лет назад

Its very fair to compare them, as Sega released this as an answer to Nintendo's offering.

@colinjohnston8519 6 лет назад

They are competitors ffs, why is it unfair to compare them?? Catch a grip.

@enderallygolem 6 лет назад

We are comparing the product, no one carea how it's made

@SeekerLancer 5 лет назад

It's perfectly fair. They're both the same type of product made for the same demographic. Sega chose to license out their name and games on a subpar product. Even they've realized it's a bad idea because they're dropping AtGames in the design of their new mini.

@dizzym9554 6 лет назад

The music is so... Unacceptably bad. Libretro emulators on Android sound much better, so you can't really chalk that up to emulation entirely

@dizzym9554 6 лет назад

Not saying the system isn't a good entry level for someone who's not big into this, but your "raspberry pi in a black box" idea honestly works better for that as long as you've got the patience for figuring out retropie. My pi3 struggles a little with some SNES games but it's pretty spot on for Genesis/MD when I've tried it.

@ShortHandedNow 6 лет назад

I have yet to see a SNES title that really strains my pi3 model B lol.(Seen a couple frames dropped in games that used the SuperFX chip.) A RetroPi build with a NesPi case is WORLDS ahead of this piece of junk for $100+ US dollars.

@ValdikSS2 6 лет назад

Sega Genesis audio emulation wasn't extremely good only until recently. The most recent emulators go a great job, but the older one always fail proper GEMS emulation. The most known improper emulation is probably is Comix Zone Episode 1, Page 2-2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WEvnZRCW_qc.htmlm30s

@overcooler 6 лет назад

I can't understand how you can say it is not that bad when it clearly has issues doing what it was supposed to. Playing Megadrive games, the stuttering or frame dropping which seems to be the case with every game is just unacceptable. It is emulating an almost 30 year old system and fails at it. That is completely unacceptable imo, and this system is just a piece of rubbish.

@moserfugger6363 6 лет назад

I play the SMD Flashback for 2 months now. There are no issues, that annoy me and I have lots of fun, having many of my favorite titles all in one place, working just fine and including a save-option. Maybe for you this is "a piece of rubbish", but not everybody has the money or space to collect tons of cartridges and not everybody wants to load illegal copys of his favorite games on a raspberry pi. So there definitely is a large enough group of customers out there for which a "console" like this satisfies all their needs. No need to be a snob about it. ;-) Greetings from Germany!

It will never be a Sega but as a casual gaming device it's not to bad. I spent my childhood playing bootleg Famicom-copy consoles like the Konami Famicom so compared to that, i'm not to disappointed.

You can get stereo sound from the Mega Drive on the Mk1 version with the right RGB lead, it has a extra lead that plugs into the audio jack in the front of the console via the SCART socket.. I would stick with my original hardware (other option for stereo sound on the original Mk1 Mega Drive is if you have a Mega CD attached) use jack cable from Mega Drive to Mega CD and then a audio cable to a HIFI or TV if has inputs.. Does not work with the Mk2 Mega Drive.

Got one for Christmas, been playing it for a couple days now--honestly, they must have updated the console, because this one is nowhere near the trash that most have made it out to be. The emulated sound has been *CORRECTED*! They've been working at that ever since the first ATGames handhelds. There is a *slight* trigger lag on the buttons, but once you play a few levels you don't notice it. I enjoy the system personally.

the sega genesis is the console i grew up with. playing sonic 1 and 2, sonic spinball, rocket knight adventures, clay fighter, and desert strike were my favorite games.

Nintendo did include a USB wall adapter with the (ugly) North American model, presumably because the US and Canada use a single style of power socket for this type of device. Your model is distributed to numerous countries with multiple power socket styles in use, so the added cost of localization (which would have been passed on to the consumer) probably made this impractical.

My brother heard a guy call those little power supplies Wall Warts. I like that,kinda funny.

I don't find the us snes ugly I do however find the us controller ugly with those smartie looking buttons (not the chocolates)

Fair review but I prefer the original hardware. I get all that I need with an Everdrive.

@megastation842 5 лет назад

I never had any trouble with this system?.

Why would you miss an adapter if you don’t need it? Isn’t less more in this case?

@JBird401 5 лет назад

My nes and snes ntsc classic editions both came with the usb power adapter and i didn't buy either of them off of a scalper. Not sure why some people are claiming that they didn't come with them?

Have you try Castlevania bloodlines on that system?

Can you play acutal NES games on this with actual catriges?

How do you have that StarFox2 fake cartridge from?

@bottledwaterprod 6 лет назад

What is with that faux cartridge on your SNES mini?

@MrSEA-ok2ll 5 лет назад

Pertaining to cheapness in touch, did you compare this to holding an original Megadrive? The original unit is also quite light and cheap in feel compared to a SNES.

I was gonna buy one of these. Then I figured out how to use rom emulators on my Mac. That openEmu is a god send. Best thing I've ever put on my computer. Hands down.

Born in the UK in the 80's and i have never seen scanlines on a CRT. Is it an American thing? I do recall seeing lines on TV that were shown on TV from the states but never on a UK set.

@noeuro 6 лет назад

There are scanlines on a PAL CRT but they're not as pronounced as NTSC because there are 100 more lines of resolution with PAL.

@Nostalgianerd 6 лет назад

You need a decent studio monitor with RGB input to really get a feel for the scan lines.

@hfvhf987 6 лет назад

Ah that'll be why i had never seen it on our sets growing up

@davidlevy706 6 лет назад

The obvious presence of scanlines that you've observed in footage of American TV sets is an artifact related to the filming process. They weren't nearly as noticeable in real life (though they might have bothered you more than they did me, just as I found a 50Hz CRT's flicker unbearable).

@Mighty-VizioN 6 лет назад

I use to hate scan lines on the old retro consoles. and still do. than goodness for modern TV's and emulation. Just my personal preference

I just bought Terminator for this and it says loading but I can't access the cartridge games.

Does Sonic 3 and Knuckles work properly?

@hevyDavid 5 лет назад

I remember playing Phantasy Star IV (4) on one of these and I thought it would be good enough for long play sessions so I never saved. Big mistake, the game crashed and I lost all my progress.

@hevyDavid 5 лет назад

After that I just downloaded a ROM and played it on my 3DS instead.
