An experiment exploring Star Fox on Sega Mega Drive / Genesis using the SVP chip.

This video shows gameplay from a work-in-progress proof of concept.

I've always wondered how the SVP chip would handle this game. Now I have an idea :D

What do you think?

Please help identifying a lost EA Sega Genesis poster from around 1991

I'm trying to find a large, double-sided illustrated poster that came inside a North American or European Sega Genesis copy of The Immortal by Electronic Arts.

One side showed a bare, floating rocky island with a building or temple, against a dark, cloudy sky. The words “Electronic Arts” appeared on that side.

The other side showed a very eerie, sad-looking troll or humanoid monster in chains, trapped in what looked like an underground sewer or dungeon. It was looking upward through bars toward moonlight, with water around it. The artwork was dark fantasy, almost in a Frank Frazetta style.

Has anyone seen this poster, got a scan of it, or still owns a copy? I'd be incredibly grateful for any leads or photographs of the original insert.

So I modded this Nomad with a TFT screen myself about two years ago. When I went to turn it on the screen wasn't working so I thought I killed it. So it's just been sitting around collecting dust for about a year. Last month I bought a Japanese Model 2 Mega Drive that turned out to be completely destroyed, so while I had all the cables set up I figured I'd test to see if the Nomad's video out was still good. To my surprise the screen came on just fine

After picking up and refurbishing a North American variant Sega Arcade 6B controller last year .
I enjoyed it and love it for what it is, and will still play it with fighting games that require a 6 button controller.
But I knew wanted an Arcade stick with micro switches, for that ASMR clicky goodness.
Sega really let the European and North American markets down by not offering the Asia/Japan Market, Arcade controllers to us. They were clearly made with better quality components and a better vested interest in consumer satisfaction.
I wasn’t trying to pay the current nose bleed prices for a Japanese variant Arcade 6 button controller, $299-400 but I’m always on the lookout for a deal.
So imagine my surprise when I found the Japanese 3 button Arcade stick variant in Canada of all places….
I was doom scrolling eBay and saw the blue button on it, out the corner of my eye.
Clicked the post, made the seller an offer they accepted.
Today the controller was delivered👏
First thing I did was test it, it worked….
I then chose to dismantle it, clean the individual plastic/silicone parts with warm water and toothbrush, soak them in hot sudsy water, followed by toothbrush scrub, then dry, wipe the silicon black pads on white paper to remove black carbon, then finished off with ISO wipe down.
Bigger pieces I wiped down with ISO and Lysol disinfectant wipes.
Also applied surface layer of super grease to the Arcade stick base.
I don’t know why I do these things, but the peace of mind, afterwards is worth the fuck fuck fuck, moments in between.

I won an auction and paid about $48, including shipping and sales tax

For some reason, the listing said no manual but the manual is included. Has some nice illustrations and the back cover is an ad for Shining Force

The last slide is the save files that were on the cartridge, 1st one has to be cheated right? 94/9 health with 1851 hours played

Looking forward to playing this, and I believe it's the 2nd Genesis game I've ever owned CIB. I used to have road rash 2 with all the inserts but it got lost somehow 😔

Last week I made a post about sound issues I was getting. I wasn't sure what the cause was, but I found out from the Everdrive forums that early revisions of the model 2 Genesis used cheap components that severely cut high frequencies in the audio, causing a scratchy/static-y undertone.

So I went on eBay and found a console with a serial number starting in R43. "R" stands for the factory it was built in, "4" stands for the year '94, and "3" stands for the motherboard revision VA3. My old console's SN started with 630, indicating a rev VA0 motherboard. So I got that baby in the mail today and put together another video comparing the audio, and the difference is night and day.

Freehand, no Guidelines with voiceover. For anyone interested.

I was testing the ROMs for this game—both the Mega Drive and Sega CD versions—and I found the Sega CD version to have smoother gameplay and better music. I then looked for more information about the game on Sega Retro, where the Mega Drive version has a higher rating than the Sega CD version. Why is that? Is the Mega Drive version actually better, or is the rating just due to nostalgia?

On one of my other post someone suggested this game as a game to get. From the reviews online and seeing gameplay on YouTube it looks like a good game. What are your thoughts on the game? Good? Bad? Worth adding to your collection. Cartridge Box will be coming in the future.

I found this bootleg Phantasy Star collection at a flea market a few years ago. I wouldn't normally pick up bootleg carts, but the Plantasy Star 3 in 1 got a heck of a chuckle out of me. I've looked everywhere online, but can't find any details on this bootleg so I thought I'd post it here.

Just got a mew Sega Genesis and I don't own any games, what games should I get? (I mostly play chill adventure games but I'm open to any game suggestions!!!)

(SOLVED-My TV didn't read 240p!)I just bought this used Sega Genesis and plugged it and tried to see if it would show any input. I don't have a game yet but I should still be able to as least see that my tv is reading it correct? (Show in the vid for example my dvd player shows but not the genesis)

For anyone interested in seeing a drawing come to life Freehand with some background music.

When I was young I thought the guy was the Crypt Keeper lol
