Did anyone here buy one of theses before getting the Mega Drive Mini...?
It was released about November 2018.
I still have mine even thought I have a Mega Drive Mini too, I think the UI is better cause its easier to sort the games so you have Sonic for Sonic Games and Bonus Section for other games so if you mod it, like I have, you can use the Bonus section for MD/Gen 32X and Sega/Mega CD games..
and keep all the other sections as they meant to be.
Yes you can mod it now, it even has a MD/Genesis Flashback HD 2018 Game Manager, makes it easier to add games to the SD Card, you install a update and it then replaced the mount point for the rom folder in the its firmware and mount it to the rom folder on the SD Card so replaces all the games on the console.
It works the same way as PCU works...
I made a wiki for the MD/Genesis replica consoles and other AtGames Flashback Consoles too... atgamesgenesis.wikidot.com/
When adding games to the SD Card, you need them to be in a rom folder and the Bios have to be in the same folder to so the Sega/Mega CD games work, the game manager sorts all that out for you...
The emulator it uses is from libretro so it uses Genesis GX Plus by default and you can use Pico Drive if you use the custom firmware and mod it then you can load 32X games.
You can add games like this in this video... with the MD/Genesis Flashback HD 2018 Game Manager.
If you have never heard of it before, this is what it looks like...
Box
Sega Mega Drive Flashback Console with Wireless MD 6 Button Controllers
The UI, Hacked with added Games..
Sega Mega CD and MD 32X games in Bonus Games Section.
I like using the 3D Box Covers, they look real and cool..
This was AtGames last Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Flashback before Sega took over and made there own Mega Drive/Genesis Mini Console, it was the best version they made, I do have the 2017 version too but that runs on Android and is a bit odd and looks odd, this runs on Linux and look more like a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
I like the MD/GF 2018 and MD Mini.
Only problem..
The Mega Drive Flashback HD 2018 don't load FMV games properly, Mega CD PAL games cause it runs the emulator at 60hz so PAL FMV games like Night Trap/Sewer Shark, the video is out of sync with the sound, the video is running faster then the sound, but you can use the Sega CD NTSC version of the game, so PAL games on it play faster, it thinks its a Genesis not a Mega Drive cause there is no difference between the Genesis version and the Mega Drive version only that it has a different badge, Sega Mega Drive, Sega Genesis on the case and the box.
I wonder if you could change the hertz in the machine some way, maybe with a script..?
This is what it looks like inside it, it looks alot like THEC64 Mini/Maxi board, well they all work the same way, just have different SoC and different Firmware.
And this can play the original MD/G Cartridge games too.. when you plug a cartridge in to it and turn it on, it dumps the rom to the UI and it appears under Cartridge Section so you can run the game, you can not do that with the MD/G Mini.
