    I wouldn't call that one since it's not really a MegaDrive port. Tectoy just ported the cellphone version to a "megadrive emulation thing" they still manufacture.

    I've heard about those.

    What is it with TecToy and the Genesis/Mega Drive?

    Didn't they release a Genesis SoC with a Guitar Hero clone a couple years ago?

    They did. Tectoy was an awesome company in the 90's, but by the time the Dreamcast was released they were a total crap.

    Out of curiosity here a comparison pictures with a board from their recent "MegaDrive" against a real MegaDrive/Genesis from it's time: http://forum.outerspace.terra.com.b...ve-3-tec-toy-e-do-mega-drive-original.295749/

    And here pictures of their recent "MasterSystem Evolution" (not joking, that's the name of the thing) and the "Mega Drive Guitar Hero":http://forum.outerspace.terra.com.b...volution-da-tectoy-é-bom-e-resistente.345773/

    Anyway, according to their website, the MegaDrive line is finally over. They are selling rebranded portable MDPlay and a couple of crap MasterSystem boxes: http://www.tectoy.com.br/categoria.aspx?id=7

    And to think we have high taxes to protect "brazilian products" against foreign competitors. Ridiculous, just give up Tectoy.

    I finally found an NTSC U/C version on eBay. I'm pretty sure it's a Mexican copy (do Mexican games come as NTSC U/C?), I'll try and get it at the end of the week, when I have some cash.

    Maybe I'll compare the PS2/360/XB1 versions, if/when I get the latter two.

    Yes. Official games are NTSC U/C.

    It let Sony avoid TV compatibility issues, but often Spanish in game was PAL only.
