/vr/ - Retro Games

So this is a stupid thought I just had. 99.9% chance I’m just an idiot talking out my ass.

In all these press releases they mention how the Mega SG is running off the same basic hardware as the Super NT. I mean this all makes sense, why not use the same chip that the developer is already familiar with to streamline development? If they both run on the exact same FPGA hardware, wouldn’t it be theoretically possible to flash the Super NT with the Mega SG firmware or vice versa?

Maybe, maybe not, just brainstorming here. Also I’m just now realizing that the acronym for the new system is MSG, lol. Surely they were aware of this during the planning phase weren’t they? Maybe a reference to how salty Sega fans have been at the current state of clone consoles

Indeed but what the fuck is the point of striving for the best possible upscaling (line multiplication to be pedantic) if you're then going to have the monitor rescale it to whatever standard resolution its fixed pixel panel will display.

Shit don't make no sense sunshine.

Never been there matey. 11 year 4chan user though.

You, on the other hand, appear to have first-hand knowledge of the posting conventions there. Also, the use of ellipses to indicate a pause or trailing off is older than the internet...

Finally, I don't feel I am "shitting up the thread" as it's not a hugbox here. All I am doing is pointing out that OP overpaid for his hardware and has extremely questionable views on relevant mods to enable software piracy and the methods best used in order to achieve them.

That's about what I get on mine. The Lynx has similar runtime these days.

Ironic that these old consoles which still get lambasted for crap battery life actually outlast modern systems with their fancy-dancy lithium packs. Really makes you think...
