Megadrive hardware was cloned by pirates ages ago. Sega did some Megadrive-in-a-pad re-releases not so long ago, I was kind of tempted but they were ridiculously priced when I saw them. Is this a commercial thing or a fan project? The casing looks amazing if it's the latter.
This is one of those 6 games in a MD pad. That mini MD is part of that set-up, it's where the AV cables come from, I beleive. All someone's done is remove the GoaC from inside the pad, and put it in the MD with a cart slot wired in.
I heard about it in gizmodo, they say it isn't clear if the thing does work. After all the GOC looses the Z80 chip...
http://www.benheck.com/Games/Sega_projects/Exodus/Exodus.htm Yesterday I bought the two versions of the radica MD clones for 200 Danish kroner (33.85 US Dollars, 26.82 Øvro and 18.42 UK Pounds). In BR Legetøj, so you can get lucky to get them cheap :nod: :icon_bigg
Out of curisoity, does anyone know if the Madden/NHL series of games on a chip actually contain a Genisis or snes on a chip ....If so, I'm buying 2..or 12.. Ryan
If that is the only issue then I believe it only makes a few games incompatible, since the Mega Drive 3 was released without the Z80 chip also.
I have one of those things hanging around here somewhere but it wants 4 AA batteries so ive not tried it out. I always thought that this was legally licenced or something... it doesnt feel as cheaply made as most pirate consoles.
Hmmm isn´t there a little tiny hole to the power supply on the back of the MDbox ? since there is on my two versions of the radica MD clone(the 6 in 1 clone, and the SF2 version), and those uses a normal power adaptor, I got from a famiclone , that I don´t use.
Correction: All MD/Gen have a Z80! (Of course!) Some of the later ASIC systems don't include the Mark-III compatibility mode.
Wow, kinda cute, terribly portable, even if it was a clone, its cool as long as it works. I might have to get one seeing how cool it looks.
Is this radica clone with Sonic 2, and 5 other games, like Ecco The Dolphin , Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Columns, Gain Ground, and The Ooze ? Since that one has a power hole in the back too. And I believe the EA shit version, has a powerhole too, in the back. Edit: the EA version, doesn´t have a powerhole (ok it is called d.c. 6V and it is just right next to the audio and videocables ), thank goodnes, that I wrote shit version, since when there is no power, then it is shite ;-)
