Hello, I like the Sega Genesis, I think it's neat and ahead of its time

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 12:42:40 2022 No.8841097 >>8841082 Definitely not ahead of its time in hardware. They really could have used the YM2608 sound chip instead of the infinitely shittier YM2612.

You wouldn't mind trading a GA102 graphics card for a GA106 graphics card, right? It does have a smaller number.
Anyway, YM2608 can do everything the YM2612 can, with a few more audio channels and even a sample channel. Not to mention less "compression" in sound mixing.

Chip companies usually design their best chips. Here you start at 0. When they manufacture the chips, some parts get fucky and fail. The sample channel doesn't work. The sound mixing doesn't work. They cut those off, voila, we got a new chip. 0 is already taken, how about number 1? A few number 1 has rhythm channels failed, cut those off. Now we have chip number 2. So on and so forth.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 13:20:37 2022 No.8841226 >>8841208 This isn't necessarily true for ALL companies, just a very well-established and long-lasting convention of chip naming. But in general, for the same generation (2608 means the generation is 26, part number 08), smaller is better.

I don't consider the genesis to be ahead of it's time. There isn't a single game on the system that could be considered ahead of it's time technology wise. All the games were very current for it's era, which is great! The goal of the system was to have a great arcade experience at home. You don't want your home ports to be completely remade like what we saw on arcade to 8bit conversions.
The Atari Lynx is something that I would consider to be ahead of it's time, not the Sega Genesis

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 14:44:04 2022 No.8841486 >>8841403 2600 and the rest of the 8bit micros already had battlezone 7 years prior

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 14:51:16 2022 No.8841512 >>8841360 You are forgetting the genesis came out at the time of the NES, that's why it has that big 16 bit sign on it. Nintendo would have been pretty happy to keep on selling 8 bit garbage if it wasn't for Sega

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 14:55:16 2022 No.8841523 >>8841483 it got the first one bubby

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 14:56:32 2022 No.8841529 >>8841512 and the PC Engine predated the genesis by a year, so whats your point? How can it be ahead of its time when NEC already had a 16bit machine on the market

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 14:58:00 2022 No.8841536 >>8841360 Lynx was a fuckin masterpiece designed by Amiga wizards. Nothing even came close until we got the GBA

>>8841556
>ea
Which ones
>thunder force
Already existed on x68k, so how is it ahead of it's time. You're proving my point that the hardware was current and had great current ports of existing games
>homebrew
No
By that logic 2600 is leaps and bounds ahead of Sega

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 15:41:18 2022 No.8841672 >>8841661 Cope at what. You can't refute any points without homebrew. Go back to the drawing board. Lynx was far ahead of it's time, while the Genesis was on par with what was available (PCE, PC-88/98/X68k). All those can run homebrew as well retard

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 15:56:43 2022 No.8841731 >>8841523 This thread is about the second one. The genesis also didn't get the first one. The two consoles don't share a single splatterhouse release.

I think they hit a sweetspot of affordability and power with what they had. None of the 3rd-4th gen consoles that succeeded had cutting-edge hardware, the entire point of making them was that it was now financially feasible to mass produce using older chips. The sound chip was inflexible but still led to fun tunes being made on it and they had a fast CPU, decent trade for cost.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 16:22:02 2022 No.8841821 >>8841672 but can they run a starfox demo

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 23 19:50:10 2022 No.8842357 I played SNES but in hindsight, I should have gotten a Megadrive as the games were better for me. I loved arcade games like Chelnov and Crude Busters and sure enough they were on Megadrive which I didn't know at the time.
