@Santar Saturn emulation has come a long way since then.... much of the Saturn's catalog is starting to trickle out to other consoles now.. but most of it is still trapped in Japan on the Saturn still with barely any English translation patched available (VS the amount of games that needs it).
@SteveFox I imagine since it's fpga that it should be able to load up those cores... being as PS1 was the only assumed machine and he posted more today the info of SegaCd, Saturn running. I'm sure this thing should run all those.... might struggle a little with the NeoGeoCD a bit and Amega32.
It would be impressive if this was a poor man's Analog system without the carts.
My biggest question is, how is it going to run Saturn games without the ram cart slot from disk?
....and KoF95 had part of the graphics on its 1mb ram cart too
So close, yet so far from hitting a target audience that will even care!!!
As many other pointed out, Hucard games are outrageous!!!! Not NeoGeo pricey..... but enough to get a 2nd mortgage if you want to collect the best this system had to offer!!!
Besides three are plenty of means to play TG-16 games on the go and in your living room from an SD card..... at minimum the very cellphone you're reading this from (no matter how old) can probably play even THE most demanding TG-16 CD game from an iso file with a BT controller!
@Chocoburger hopefully the community gets a strong hold on it and just hacks it to support (at minimum) usb drive loading!!!
That is THE only thing that's gonna save this machine!!!
And without CD compatibility.... lost cause! Because even IF my previous statement holds true, it probably can't produce the Redbook Audio or process it accordingly!!!
@Crecca PS ViTA is the simple answer without getting a retroPI machine running! It at least affords the control and patches for the best emulation of the games.
Much like the NES or Genesis, you can practically emulate the TG16 on a potatoes worth of CPU power
Despite the logic programming descriptors used in games for NPC and computer controlled players.... AI has no place in Game Development or graphic design or any "creative output" in which a company demands US consumers to pay for to consume.
Especially IF it costs REAL folks their jobs!!!
It's the whole reason IATSE & SAG-AFTRA been in negotiations for the last 2 years over, to keep AI out of movie/TV/theater production!!
The same should apply amongst all forms of entertainment, unless explicitly advised "the production contains in parts that were produced using AI Technologies"
We owe it to all the creatives that produce the things we love to speak with our wallets and refuse to purchase such things!
@PKDuckman I can attest the Visco Collection runs great on the OG Switch! Just got it the other day and everything I've played so far, played as it should.... doesn't make the games any easier.... lol 😝
But Andro Dunos, Ganryu, Neo Driftout all played great when I played them
I mean do they actually have to buy them to dump them?
They can verify the data, dump the roms, photograph, doccument and sign an affidavit(s) on the carts in question!
It would actually ensure that the games being sold to the buyers are genuine and everyone wins here.
It's not that difficult folks.... the publishers are already greedy enough.... why does this end of the industry have to be sp money motivated. When this stuff goes missing or burned up in a house fire or any other numerous things can happen.... they will be lost to time like so many other things!!!
@HoyeBoye there were other consoles that had db9 connector on them... not to mention all the "pinout adapters" to take a ps/2 (old PC standards) to db9 (joystick port) of the old.
On the other hand..... I'm sure someone like Castle Games or 8nitDo has them (Not that I've looked)
See... that's why I know better to get on my phone all of April 1st OR 2nd.... after about 2 or 3 days... the gags wear off and the real stuff lingers or has been separated from the folls joke
I was always wondered as a kid (when the TG16 1st came out) why everyone was more of an uproar over the Genesis or SNES over the Turbo!
I fully agree with the above comment about had it been compared to the NES side by side in ads & commercials.... it may have fared better in the US market. But it seemed like NEC barely tried once it was here. The price was astounding the graphics weren't all thay much better than the snes or the Genesis....
But alas.... I was always a bigger fan of SNK and the NeoGeo.... I spent more time in the arcade than on the couch with a controller!
It always blew my mind even knowing at 12 that NEC and Hudson .... because Hudson Soft had some decent games in the arcade and seemed to have the money for the push..... then it fell flat!
The BoR engine is the gift that keeps giving to the community!!!!
It's really awesome that BoR has managed to stick around this long and have so many top tier fan made games!!! Gonna download this and play it on the plane this weekend!!!
Of course it's sold out!!!! I hope they get a decent amount of them built seems like it would be really cool to play MSX games in America or anywhere I have to be for work!!
@Moroboshi876 it probably will work just as well as the Wii did!?
Honestly... and I know the IR sensor is there.... as well accelerometers too
.....but I have yet to ever play a motion based game or light gun type game... even something like Links crossbow training (which why isn't that ported yet?)
Nada, not one "lightgun game" anywhere!!
Probably should give House of the Dead a spin.... and see if that is as good as the old-school arcade game
I just keep reminding myself on how much money I'm gonna save next generation by just simply updating/hacking all the consoles I haven't done that too yet.
What a time to be alive!
The greatest thing is...... all the main developers are trying to sell us all those games again anyway.... and I already own them!
@TransmitHim ARMS was just a poor attempt at trying to make something like boxing but with animated violence.
It was lame after 20 minutes and 1 dimensional as far as a game, content and "What to do". Sure most boxing games are too.... but the clunky game mechanics didn't help things at all.
Also.... boxers need to exercise.... remember little ?Mike jogging in Mike Tysons Punahout? A whole slew of mini games on top of the boxing and leveling up and learning new techniques to take on the next boxers in the ladder.
I don't get why they need a "new concept" to attract putting a new punch out, out again. Nobody's like "Man I dunno if kids are going to buy this xyz sports game with a barely changed roster of players playing the same game that the last year had looking pretty much exactly the same as 3 years beforehand "
Punahout and boxing are vastly different and the fact that it is animated characters not really based on anyone specific totally makes it more viable for Switch 2.... when the last one was put out on Wii.... before that the GC and before that the SNES. It's been 2 generations since the last one.
Got to have a way warmer response to another Madden football or another FIFA
I was always super amazed that Technos never ported this themselves or had Data East or SNK dio it as a Licensed feature.
Double dragon is on nearly every 80s & 90s machine that could play it.... kinda like DOOM today, for God sake the 7800 had a port of it!!!
Always seemed like a missed opportunity to have given it a face-lift with some chunkier larger sprites like the NeoGeo is famous for and port the game.
It's cool to think about what could have been.... but I'd really like to see these rereleased for current systems. It would be nice to see the whole series at home on systems today. Not holding my breath for Shenmu 4.... but we'll see what Sega does with this IP revival their on.
But a graphical boost and maybe port them to Yakuza engine for easier support across all 3
Sure it's a MegaDrive..... and sure it's Final Fight..... but it's totally awesome!!! Wish the old school Genesis and Mega had more limited run alternate cases. Spruce it up a little bit!!! Lol
This has got to be THE most public Video Game Grifting Saga ever captured in history!!!!
I really hope (my inner teenager squeeling) that the prospect of playing all the old sega games on 1 box hooked to a TV happens!!!! Wouldn't it be the coolest thing?
But this whole thing..... man!!!!!
Personally I was hoping sega just moved in on a hostile corporate move to aquire the project and run it over the line officially instead of killing it completely..
But this has got to be a joke..... just 1 giant trolling we all been Rick Rollin
@CocktailCabinet well considering there was 2 32 bit machines that were actually 16bit x2 processors working in tandem (Saturn & Jaguar), also I'm confidently sure that the NeoGeo was also duel 16bit chips working in tandem also.
The thing is Nintendo lost their drive to set the pace (system spec) afterwards from the SNES. Many of the n64s games were buggy messes granted it was Nintendos 1st time doing 3d mainly.... same with all the devs working on that machine.
I strongly believe and it would be difficult to sway my opinion here, Nintendo screwed up leaning to Philips CDi, they burned the biggest bridge they could have had with Sony due to that. (It's well documented of this relationship gone bad). Sony would have refined the SNES-Cd a lot before consumers got their hands on it. The spec on the prototype wasn't bad, at all. Basically bolting a PS1 to a SNES would've been industry changing, even when compared to the SegaCd or the 32x (which wasn't out yet). Ultimately making the SNES handle all the midi music, the 2d graphics with the availability to tap Mode7 graphics (taking the brunt of those operations) while passing off geomitry, special and spacial effects off on the SNES-Cd unit with the ability of Mov, CD audio extra graphics RAM, additional system memory and storage between cart & CdRom. The other thing is the PS1 put a hell of a fight up to both the Saturn and Dreamcast!!! Just think of that!
In that we wouldn't have lost SEGA consoles, we might not have gotten the PS2 or newer. I'd like to think that Sega is still making consoles in some parallel universe somewhere
@iacobus_magnus govent the fact there is a " - " before the account balance.... he's probably selling the car so he can pay that down to avoid check fraud in Spain. Their prisons aren't as nice as the worst ones in America
Maybe Sega should replace this guy and their leadership here in America. Sega gave us half a dozen console ecosystems and near 2,500 games. That doesn't even get down to arcade machines!!!! We always seem to get the same 20 or so games from them in the form of reissues. People these days are still developing games for their hardware.
Sega, your fans want the deep cuts!! There is over 2,000 OTHER games that were released on those consoles.. So much so that Sega could easily take the Atari VCS approach and make an all digital console & distribution service and it would sell!!!! He'll that SuperSega dude is doing half the work for you right now!!! Sue them out of existence and takeover the process!!!! WE WILL BUY IT!!!!!
Even if SEGA took the same approach as Capcom and the Arcade Archives it would sell!!!
NSO isn't doing SEGA justice there is so much more that people are interested in. I'm sure the WiiWare/WiiU/DS/3ds store fronts moved bunches of those games!!!!
What ever happened to: "SEGA does what Nintendont"
@rushiosan I dunno what you mean. Since sega said they were delighting the Genesis Collection I have been making my way through all of the games and beating them.... I'm about ¼ of the way there... and all so far play just as I remember them.
I love the fact you have save states now (that isn't across the board with other collections) and the rewind feature (that's even rarer amongst retro collections)
@BulkSlash you know you can get a USB adapter for the N64 and plug it in to the internal USB3.0 port on the dock and use an OG N64 controller.
I mean as long as your controller works good, it's a fine modern work around for those NSO N64 titles.
This also works for all the old-school NSO rooms as well with their corresponding systems if you can track down their USB adapters to the controllers. Of course you have to have the old controllers lying around.... which I'm sure many of you reading this has!
I mean Taki is a good dude. Been watching his vids for a while now. He does a lot of teardown videos and goes far past the glossy box to deep in the guts of the machines he makes videos on. It wasn't much of a surprise that he got in to making hardware. He's gonna do us all right I feel.
Also, I still have my 60gb iPod Classic.... happenstance it has a broken screen also it would be great if the computer it connects to just seen it as an external media drive instead of demanding iTunes (and being locked to 1 computer for file transfer)
@RejectedAng3L at best they could try to get then for the thing actually playing their software.... but we have absolutely ZERO proof this thing even actually plays their games...... nor does sega
@cdog555 I dunno, they put SUPER in front of Sega's name.... so by trademark Supersega ≠ Sega.
Since it's FPGA based and uses none of their bios files sega doesn't have the room there either.
At best, greatly depending on what country all this is happening (manufacturing [Probably China], country of residence (seems Formerly Russian country), or where the money went (all the full price preorders) [international bank].
Hate to say it... but Alejandro Martín might get these things to people in spite of Sega
Possibly not.... but we're definitely going to sitting on the edge of our seats for the outcome
I've always thought/said those old 16bit machines were more capable than we ever seen. We were in such a hurry to get to 32bit machines gamers never looked back until recently.
Sure there is an underground following for many of those machines. But honestly, I wish that generation of machines were still getting first party support. The machines still exist, right?
Atari was still publishing games for the 2600 even while the7800 and even the jaguar was on the market.
Always looking for the bigger better thing, but these old machines could still hold up well today.... that's why so many people still have desire to play them. Past the nostalgia of it.
I was once told "If something is too good to be true, than chances are it's disappointment in disguise"
With that being said..... I do really hope that under the hood they get this thing figured out and it makes it to market. It would be nice to play all those games from the same box with hardly any issues (with on going patches) along the way.
This guy keeps repeatedly shooting himself in the foot.... I mean look at it from this point of view. You are NEVER going to see the likes of Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, let alone any major manufacturers for that matter, showing off hardware thats horribly cobbled together barely working from one stage of development to to the next and onwards until production of said units are being made. It's not very professional. Sure there are hobbiests and DIY YouTubers that make things while doing this and even some with their hands out offering to sell the widget or the parts they are making/developing. But we already know it's niche' and short run type stuff.
If this thing works, $400 in today's money, he'll even in early 2000's greenbacks it is a reasonable ask for the money VS what it does.
The sad part is this system may not even do what Nintendont right out of the box..... might not even do what Sega did..... more likely what Sega does, as in not make systems
@KingMike that's why I said Famicom and not NES.... they may have shared a lot of games... and maybe even the same button layout. But both were treated as very separate machines and markets....

@rushiosan I dunno what you mean. Since sega said they were delighting the Genesis Collection I have been making my way through all of the games and beating them.... I'm about ¼ of the way there... and all so far play just as I remember them.
I love the fact you have save states now (that isn't across the board with other collections) and the rewind feature (that's even rarer amongst retro collections)
But lag? Not seeing it there.
Re: "Absolutely Horrid" - Is Nintendo Switch Online's Emulation Really That Bad?
@BulkSlash you know you can get a USB adapter for the N64 and plug it in to the internal USB3.0 port on the dock and use an OG N64 controller.
I mean as long as your controller works good, it's a fine modern work around for those NSO N64 titles.
This also works for all the old-school NSO rooms as well with their corresponding systems if you can track down their USB adapters to the controllers. Of course you have to have the old controllers lying around.... which I'm sure many of you reading this has!
Re: MiSTer Pi Creator Taki Udon Is Turning His Attention To The iPod
I mean Taki is a good dude. Been watching his vids for a while now. He does a lot of teardown videos and goes far past the glossy box to deep in the guts of the machines he makes videos on. It wasn't much of a surprise that he got in to making hardware. He's gonna do us all right I feel.
Also, I still have my 60gb iPod Classic.... happenstance it has a broken screen also it would be great if the computer it connects to just seen it as an external media drive instead of demanding iTunes (and being locked to 1 computer for file transfer)
I think he will hit all those marks and then some
I'm excited
Re: To The Shock Of Absolutely Nobody, Sega Is Trying To Shut Down The SuperSega FPGA Project
@RejectedAng3L at best they could try to get then for the thing actually playing their software.... but we have absolutely ZERO proof this thing even actually plays their games...... nor does sega
Re: To The Shock Of Absolutely Nobody, Sega Is Trying To Shut Down The SuperSega FPGA Project
@cdog555 I dunno, they put SUPER in front of Sega's name.... so by trademark Supersega ≠ Sega.
Since it's FPGA based and uses none of their bios files sega doesn't have the room there either.
At best, greatly depending on what country all this is happening (manufacturing [Probably China], country of residence (seems Formerly Russian country), or where the money went (all the full price preorders) [international bank].
Hate to say it... but Alejandro Martín might get these things to people in spite of Sega
Possibly not.... but we're definitely going to sitting on the edge of our seats for the outcome
Re: Homebrew Dev Shows Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow On Genesis / Mega Drive, But Don't Get Too Excited
I've always thought/said those old 16bit machines were more capable than we ever seen. We were in such a hurry to get to 32bit machines gamers never looked back until recently.
Sure there is an underground following for many of those machines. But honestly, I wish that generation of machines were still getting first party support. The machines still exist, right?
Atari was still publishing games for the 2600 even while the7800 and even the jaguar was on the market.
Always looking for the bigger better thing, but these old machines could still hold up well today.... that's why so many people still have desire to play them. Past the nostalgia of it.
Re: If Nothing Else, SuperSega's Latest "Review" Should Convince You To Keep Your Wallet Shut
I was once told "If something is too good to be true, than chances are it's disappointment in disguise"
With that being said..... I do really hope that under the hood they get this thing figured out and it makes it to market. It would be nice to play all those games from the same box with hardly any issues (with on going patches) along the way.
This guy keeps repeatedly shooting himself in the foot.... I mean look at it from this point of view. You are NEVER going to see the likes of Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, let alone any major manufacturers for that matter, showing off hardware thats horribly cobbled together barely working from one stage of development to to the next and onwards until production of said units are being made. It's not very professional. Sure there are hobbiests and DIY YouTubers that make things while doing this and even some with their hands out offering to sell the widget or the parts they are making/developing. But we already know it's niche' and short run type stuff.
If this thing works, $400 in today's money, he'll even in early 2000's greenbacks it is a reasonable ask for the money VS what it does.
The sad part is this system may not even do what Nintendont right out of the box..... might not even do what Sega did..... more likely what Sega does, as in not make systems
Re: "The Wrong Console Won" - Dreamcast Is Getting Its Own Rave Event "To Correct The Record"
@KingMike that's why I said Famicom and not NES.... they may have shared a lot of games... and maybe even the same button layout. But both were treated as very separate machines and markets....
Re: "The Wrong Console Won" - Dreamcast Is Getting Its Own Rave Event "To Correct The Record"
@profkross well I mean the Famicom did have both a tape and floppy drives.... so it wasn't too far off base or farfetched of a thought.
We never got all of that.... hackers... lol
It would be a parallel universe we would be talking about these days had any of that happened.
