> shit-tier and barely compatible remakes produced by chinese slaves
awesome work, sega.

>you can walk into a Walmart at any time of day and night and buy an officially licensed machine that's compatible with your original cartridges for a cheap and affordable price
Fucking cool. N*ntendo has literally nothing like this since they screwed the pooch on the Virtual Console idea.

All hardware designs that Sega were offered and said "no thanks" to. As someone whose teenage years were spent with a Mega-Drive (and later a Saturn) this pisses me off.

Controversial (for this place really) opinion:
SEGA contributed more to the industry than Nintendo.

Imagine being AT Games and being completely unable to reproduce the sound of a 16 bit console which hobbyists accomplished decades ago.

I'm a Sega fan myself, and the only thing I can answer (in 2018) is 'no'.

They made one properly successful console that competed with Nintendo hardware for a while, mostly until the SNES came out. If Sega changed the industry it was by making Nintendo complacent due to their pathetic competition at the time.

Why the hell do these have such shit sound? What exactly went wrong with this?

>>4957170
Have they finally made a decent version of the handheld yet?

>>4957181
But you gotta lug a USB controller around. This does this in one package.

>>4957170
I might buy the thing on the right if I came across it super cheap someday. it would be a cheap easy way to show games to kids who haven't been phone zombie'd yet

zero interest in 'classic' mini consoles of any brand, though.

>>4959841
Even Sega hasn't been able to. The sign post spin noise is still wrong in their licensed emulator.

>>4959841
It's all running on a "Firecore" chip, which is just some random chink SOC you would find in some random plug-and-play wasting away in a pharmacy.

>>4960184
Game Gear had some decent-great games.

>Shatgames

No thanks.

>>4957170

there is no ‘licensed’ emulator. sega and their vietcong shit subsidiaries download freeware hobbyist emulators straight from the internet.

that new atgames mega drive thing is just going yo be the libretro version of genesis plus gx.

you are literally being sold roms downloaded straight feom the internet with an emulator downloaded straight from the internet with zero actual work being put into it.

brought to you by this parasitic bullshit little games industry.

>i am literally a redditard spouting bullshit
Go back kiddo.
There are plenty of licensed emulators. Did your daddy install a free one for you once? It's probably licensed under the GPL or something similar. Free to use for anyone. Sega, bourgeoisie who don't think their allowance is enough, people who contribute to society. Steam, app, gog, whatever also licensed.
How did all this "downloaded straight feom the internet" shit happen "with zero actual work being put into it"? Seems to me it would be a lot of work for you to even figure out how do that. Because you really sound like a parasitic bullshit little shit.

>TFW sega is still selling the Mega Drive
>TFW Sega technically surpasses SNES sales numbers because of it

>>4958294
>also the emulation is dogshit

>>4958736
SEGA was reactionary with their innovations
They only gave what others gave first.

>>4960169

This bothers me so much. I wanted to fix the sound so someone on the site that shan’t be named told me to take out the motherboard and disconnect one of the wires, so I took out what I thought was the motherboard and disconnected a wire, now it doesn’t work!!!

>>4963629
Shut up, fag.

>>4963665
Sega Mark III and Japanese(and maybe also early US units) Master systems are backwards compatible with all SG-1000 games, no need for an adaptor unlike the 5200.

>>4963665
Segas innovations came from them trying to stay ahead of the competition and that's normal.
>>4963663
The other one they released with the save states is actually ok

>>4960239
That’s because the damn fools deleted the original sources. Anything before 1999 they have limited to no source code on.

>>4960169
Short answer is Sega had major restructure and move in the late 90s that made them lose/delete/destroy all their spice coding on most games. It’s why many titles don’t see ports or have that awful PC source soundcard. Actually most ports made today come from their PC ports.

>>4963872
>spice code

>>4962797
The ones I've tried (didn't pay) seemed inferior to free emulators.

>>4962797
If it were Genesis Plug GX, sound emulation would work.

>>4963854
Did they improve the sound quality?

>>4958720
N64 had shortfalls of its own. Here:
>limited FMV capability
>No dedicated sound chip/processor
>stock controller with weirdly placed face buttons
>no use of sound nor graphics enhancement chips in game carts.

>>4963908
Not on the one in the OP but on the one that actually looks like a genesis

>>4963629

hello disgruntled little scam contractor. take sega's dick out of your mouth.

>>4963887

Oh, they will always remain inferior. Because the scam contractors they keep contracting for this stuff have no clue what they are doing, and it's just a scam on your wallet.

they have literal vietcongs and singaporeans and other third-world lesser asians working on this stuff, people that can barely code their way out of a sandbox. they get 500 dollars a month as a salary.

>>4957170
My gf gave me one as a present. It's tough to pretend I like it in front of her.

>>4963957
I don't see it besides the sound part
And N64 games have pretty good sounds anyways

>>4957170
Can these play to the end of the X-Men game that requires pressing the reset button?
