One of the articles about it said it'll work with the Sega CD, I wonder how that'll hook up or if it has enough power for the extra hardware and will run images off an SD card. I didn't see any mention of the 32x though. Maybe someday when the site comes back up, it'll have that info. [edit]This article has more. Short version - the Sega CD connects normally to the edge connector, the 32x is no-go right now. If I remember, it actually did something weird with overlaying the 32x's images on top of the Genesis' images via the video cable, and I guess that won't work with digital. But they're thinking about ways around it. Now I just wonder how it'll look sitting on top of my Model 2 Sega CD, hopefully it's close to Genesis 2 sized.

I am a whore for Analogue's FPGA consoles, but at this rate I should've just bought a friggin' Framemeister and been done with it.

I totally want one of these for Master System stuff though.

I already have like 5 Geneses across 4 models so I’m not going to pick this up, especially since it can’t do 32x or CD on its own. It does look really good though and I’m glad now people just starting the hobby will have an easy answer to the “how do I play sonic in my he tv” that doesn’t involve a scaler. Though the cost of a framemeister seems lower than buying 2 analogue consoles now.

I have a Framemeister and a modded Genesis, and I'm still considering buying this. If it gets hacked to play Sega CD games off of an SD card, I'm sold. Also, TG-16 when?

 I'm also seeing something about there being a Game Gear adapter? How many Sega systems are we going to be able to play on this thing? Maybe a stupid question, but is this going to require multiple flash carts? Saw this the other day, hard for me to justify the price especially knowing we are finally getting an Analogue Sega console: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1408938247/collectorvision-phoenix-an-fpga-colecovision-conso?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=fpga I have some mild nostalgia for the ColecoVision, maybe if I were made of money I would pick one up as well.

They're going to do adapters later on, right now it comes with a master system one.

Coming with the Master System adapter is cool, and since the adapters are only $10 each the Game Gear one is a no-brainer to pick up once that's a thing. It's like having a Super Gameboy for my Genesis  The Super NT was an easy buy for me since I've got a ton of SNES games, but my Genesis library is a lot smaller so I'm probably going to wait and see what they do about 32X stuff and how well the Sega CD stuff plays out before really thinking about getting one of these. I'm not a fan of having to use the original Sega CD with this since those are all pretty old and many aren't working well anymore, but I guess it's hard to make something to solve that problem.

I have a Genesis 2 and a OSSC (and my Mega EverDrive is arriving on Wednesday), and I'm still considering getting this. The Game Gear adapter is icing on the cake, because I was just about to go down the rabbit hole of LCD-modding my current Game Gear.

Sega CD and Game Gear support? Now i'm intrigued. Also, the SMS support should theoretically allow SG-1000 games, since iirc an Everdrive on a stock Genesis will play SG-1000 roms.

Wonder if they solve the nightmare of the Genesis soundchip. Finding the right model with good sound makes this sound like a better alternative.

I got him into retro games, I was sick of him playing the new generation of games, there is nothing like the games we grew up on, somewhere developers really lost the art of making fun games that are simple yet complicated enough for strategy and reaction timing. Too much emphasis on graphics it seems and tons of buttons and combinations to do things. He has fun with some new games too but the amount in retro is by far more substantial. He digs the pixelated graphics and these would fly real good with him and hanging on his wall! Excellent project my man!

They list a US and Japanese versions, as well as two others. Are they all the same and that's just a colour scheme thing?

Yeah, it's just the color scheme and you can see it in the gif. The US version color scheme has grey buttons and a red led, the Japanese one has blue buttons and more of a magenta power window. They also have the PAL one with the white power and buttons, and a solid white version.

The Kins posted:It looks like the Analogue system will support them, since they've announced cartridge adaptors for SG-1000 and SC-3000. Silhouette thought that SG-1000 games could run on a Genesis when it can’t. The adapters look pretty slick though.

I think it's just the video chip in the Genesis doesn't support the SG1000 video mode. IIRC F-16 fighting falcon uses an sg1000 mode and also won't work.

That is amazing!! I haven’t invested at all in Sega stuff but may finally take the plunge with this. I’m an rear end in a top hat though so I’ll probably wait and see what happens with the firmware. Optical drive emulation for the Sega CD would be oh so nice. How much 32x stuff would we be missing out on if that never happens?

Most broken Sega CD units either require a belt or a fuse. They are super easy to repair and you can save big money that way. The laser assembly is pretty rock-solid.

slightly related, I have a question about this with regards to regular SD cards for the genesis. I have a working sega cd but I'm worried about the laser dying or it breaking since I've already had trouble loading games a couple of times now. I heard you can load segacd isos from the flash carts that work on the genesis, but how is the compatability?

That is not a thing you can do. You can only use physical CDs for Sega CD right now.

You can load a different region sega cd bios from the flash card and that is it.

DoctorWhat posted:it's probably the capacitors or the laser potentiometer on the scd I replaced the fuse last weekend and it still isn't powering on. I checked all the caps when I took it apart (what a loving nightmare) and they were all surprisingly in perfect shape. I am going to take the multimeter to it when I get the time to figure out what is wrong with it. It is obviously something with the power board since it isn't getting power.

Kolibri is a weird shooter with gorgeous artwork from the Ecco the Dolphin folks, and is probably the only game really worth checking out just because it's so unique. Nearly everything else is either unplayable or was done better on another console.

The 32X really really helps with the Sega CD games that required it. It's only 6 games, all of which were also released as plain Sega CD before, but the video quality is severely nicer in the 32X versions.

There's a transistor that turns the Sega CD on as well. Might want to look into that. Console5 sells replacements.
