r/SEGAGENESIS

My goodness was that Fighting System hard to find!

Other than X32 most useful Genesis/MegaDrive console you can have. It covers both cartridges and MegaCD/SegaCD. Yes, you can run US/EU titles but will need the magickeyIII cartridge as well as BIOS hack. Oh, yea also this is the only MegaDrive console with the S-Video out port.

i’m not asking for “the best” lists since those can get toxic or rely on “trying to fit in” i mean whats considered in your rotation 24/7?

for me it’s these 3:
Sonic Spinball, fun, tough, short, creative

Maximum Carnage, tough, fun, comic tie in, has one of my favorite final bosses on MD

Mortal Kombat, i originally didn’t like this and felt it was overrated, upon playing it more i genuinely loved it, it’s simple and fun, by no means it is a SF2 dethroner but again, is fun.

Got the house all to myself…

When i was a kid, kid chameleon was one of my favourite games ever (and still is), as well as one of the first video games i ever played.

Today, i painted over one of my Magic the Gathering cards and when i was done, i had a wave of nostalgia wash over me when looking at it, so i wanted to share/show it, to people who might also enjoy it.

I hope it is okay, to post something like this here.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share this footage of 'The Curse of Issyos', a new homebrew project coming to the Mega Drive in 2026. The quality and the music are top-notch for our beloved console. What do you think about this new wave of 16-bit homebrews?

You can check the gameplay here: https://youtu.be/-2LWwm3e9Xg

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!"

¡Hola a todos! Solo quería compartir este metraje de 'The Curse of Issyos', un nuevo proyecto homebrew que llegará a Mega Drive en 2026. La calidad y la música son de primer nivel para nuestra querida consola. ¿Qué os parece esta nueva ola de homebrews de 16 bits? Podéis ver el gameplay aquí: [Enlace]. ¡Me encantaría saber qué opináis!

Got a Japanese wondermega unfortunately it's broken.

It probably needs a full recap. But how high are the chances that it will be fixed after that?

Problems are:

Video is flashing and distorted, sometime also colourless like in Sonic.

The sound is very quiet but is crystal clear and sounds good.

It loads Megadrive Cart games without any problems.

The CD drive doesn't spin at all it loads no cd games.

I don't have any experience in changing SMD caps.

Because of that I am to afraid to recap it myself.

How much would probably a full recap cost?

Anybody knows a good trustworthy repair shop located in Germany who fixes old consoles?

You guys remember this? You have to have patience to beat this one...

Today I will receive a triple bypassed and fully recapped Genesis model 2. With a blue light mod.!

I just picked up a US model Sega Genesis model 1 with a model 1 Sega CD today. Untested, consoles only. I'm waiting on the cords to come in for the Sega CD, but the Genesis works perfect. When I opened it up to clean it I saw these wires on there. Any idea what they are for? Possible mod of some sort? And don't worry I cleaned all the crud out of it lol. Thanks in advance!

Not even a pinball or Motley Crue fan, but this game was entertaining. Lots of changes between levels. Definitely a a surprise!

Hey guys, was wondering if you have any recommended suggestions for a battery holder on Sega Genesis games, considering how cramped it is inside the cartridges. These are some I found on Amazon. Do you even bother with a battery holder or just replace the old battery with a new one that already has the metal taps on it? Thanks
