Do people expect these guys to go against the grain of any business ever and just sell at what they pay for stock? It’s so weird how angry people are at what they do. I think it’s brilliant.
"Full motion video my *ss I'd rather be full fuc*ing screen". Or I got this at a flea market for $2.50, I'm dead fuc*ing serious. Or Holy shit, this thing is TOTAL FUC*ING GAR-BIT*H.
@@gameloden6765 my recollection is it wasn't much different from ordinary Genesis. And there were not a lot of games. But CDs were more novel then. I had music on casettes at the time. I was impressed it would play audio CDs.
I hated the Sega CD and I was so disappointed that I swore off anything associated with Sega completely. I decided to give them one last chance--when Aliens: Colonial Marines was released. 🤬
@@jameswoodland2719 it only really worked for sonic 2. Sonic one couldn't do it. But also OG commenter is right when he says it won't work because if it did then it'd be the sonic two title screen with knuckles on it instead of sonic iirc
Wonder how many Sonic & Knuckles cartridges one can stack, before the Genesis won't recognize it anymore? (with the Lock-on feature still working). 3 seems fine, but where's the limit? haha
I think all the carts in the middle are litteraly ignored and only act as a passthrou so as long as the signle can make it throu theorecitally infinately. (of course real life issues like signle deprecation will eventually stop it but there no like "hard limit" set by the set up anyway)
It didn't even recognize Sonic 2. With just the one S&K cartridge, that would've resulted in the Sonic 2 & Knuckles Title screen, but it was the Sonic & Knuckles one.
@@Cristofopo Yes it's real. You could in fact stack these cartridges this way. Now whether it worked this time I'm not sure. I had a 32X back when. However I did not have the CD or GameGenie shit.
Yes, stacking multiple S&K's on top does work! It's because of how the Lock-on Technology works. Here's a quick explanation, although it's not perfect: The LOT (Lock-on Technology) scans the data of both S&K (Sonic & Knuckles) and the other attached cartridge. LOT looks into the header (the beginning of a Genesis ROM file) of the attached cartridge. If it's Sonic 1, LOT commands S&K to launch Blue Spheres from it's data. If it's Sonic 2, S&K launches Knuckles in Sonic 2. And finally, if it's Sonic 3, S&K launches Sonic 3 & Knuckles. redhotsonic (a channel dedicated to Sonic) has a series called "But Does It Work On Real Hardware?". It has a video testing the Sonic 1 Prototype. He also tries testing it with S&K's LOT, and there's an explanation there how LOT works. Check it out!
@@Nittle69420 Still as an 11y/o round his house seeing his Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) hooked up to the Mega CD - it was like staring into the future! Lol… To be fair, when I look at the blocky graphics of the original PlayStation I thought when I was playing Ridge Racer that it was almost life like! Lol
That sega CD attachment brings back memories. I remember renting one from my local video store, popping in some of the FMV games and just thinking it was the coolest thing I had ever seen that I was interacting with “live” games/movies.
The fact that Sega was able to create a system that could be upgraded over time was Fantastic for families that could keep up with the times for the kids to enjoy
They barely released the games for the 32x tho, or for the 32x CD… and 32X was announced just a few months before a new sets console released. And it was just as expensive as the new console at launch
No lmao nobody wanted this bullshit. The CD add-on was honestly neat but didn’t really have the library to be worth buying, not to mention many of its best games were arcade ports that still had perfectly playable Genesis versions, even if the CD versions were better. The 32X was atrocious and had an almost nonexistent library. It was insanely expensive despite the Saturn coming out in just a few months. Hell I’m pretty sure it was already out in Japan. On top of that I remember hearing rumors back in the day that it was poorly made and could fuck up your cartridge reader, not too sure if that was true though
The reason why he only got Sonic & Knuckles is because: Since he put 3 cartridges on top of each other, the memory of each game and the mega drive itself doubles every single time a cartridge is set inside. So sonic 2 is only 32Mb for a singular cartridge. 3 sonic & Knuckles cartridges is equal to 124Mb, so technically you would get an overloaded Sonic & Knuckles.
I didn't even notice that and had to watch it again. That's why I hate these RU-vid shorts. You can't just roll back through them. Anyways good to know but I'm confused. You're saying that a doubles the amount of memory from each cartridge? Can the Sega Genesis even address that much memory?
It didn't work, he lied. If it was working correctly, the TV would be displaying Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. It's a minor thing that shows the incompetence of DKOldies.
yeah the fact that it turn on and nothing fried is a success. I am pretty sure S&K can only read the one cart above it and not all of them @@sergeantsapient
