We all know the Motorola 68000 is the winner too, it's the processor with passion and love, and it's own soul. Bionic chip can go skynet itself.

Plus volume slider!

Thats called blast processing.
It even has a reset/home button. SEGA is the clear winner
ResidentDante

Absolutely! You can also play the Sonic games with actual buttons too, death to touch controls!
I think the winner here is clear
Sega Genesis: Runs Genesis games at full speed
iPhone X: Runs Sega Forever emulated versions of Genesis games with slowdown and poor sound
Genesis clearly the winner.
That being said, I do have the iPhone 8 on preorder...

Genesis doesn't have two video out ports...

I only just noticed I said "WELCO METOT HENEX TTOPIC" earlier and then made the image saying "WELCO METOT HENEX TTHREAD" - no wonder the kerning was so goddamn uneven. Guess I should try to remake that...

There we go, that's better. Maybe. Depending on how much (or how little) spacing you like between your letters.

What is the rule when it comes to a having to create new thread?
So today I took a model 1 Genesis I've been using for mods and decided to make it a dedicated import machine. Didn't have any switches lying around for a region mod so I just set it to Japan mode and left it at that. Only have one import game, which is Rockman, but was pretty surprised to see a lot of US games that will still boot up with the jumper settings changed.

Have you overclocked yours? I have a modded one but the switches take up so much space. I can't put anything large on top of it.
Also, you can't use an everdrive, sega cd, or (i think) a 32x with it when it's overclocked. I like it as a novelty more than anything.
I just use a stock Genesis anymore although I might do a region switch in this one too. What are you doing for the slight size difference between carts?
davidwhangchoi
Member
you can overclock?
is that Blast Processing Extreme
is that Blast Processing Extreme
Laevateinn

It definitely is. I have mine switchable between stock and 10 MHz. It's actually pretty simple to do. The only thing it does is eliminate slowdown in all games. Rockman Wily Wars is a good example because one of the special stages designed for it has a lot. The easiest example to encounter is in Sonic 2's two player mode which becomes a lot more playable. I think one of the Thunderforce games also has a lot of slowdown that 10 MHz helps with.
Take up so much space? Vertically?? What switches are you using?
Laevateinn

This is the first Genesis I bought as an adult.
I got an Electrical Engineering degree but never really did anything with the iron until I decided to crack this baby open. I love it to death but I really want to redo everything now that I know a lot better.
That switch behind the cartridge slot is my nemesis. I just used switches that I found at the local hardware store. Next time I am definitely going to be a lot smarter in placement and component choice.

WE DID IT Y'ALL
i always forget this - yeah, honestly ive barely used my OC switch. it's cool to try out but not a go-to
Laevateinn
Member
Gotta go fast
That is indeed an unfortunate switch placement. If I may suggest, this is how I did it a few years back:
A word of caution though, drilling square holes is a pain without the proper tools. I carved my way in with an Stanley knife but that took forever.

Well deserved!
Laevateinn
Member
Yeah, I have a pause switch on the back too that I used a dremel to carve. It kept bouncing and it was extremely difficult to get the size right. I think I'd be better off with a knife.

Thanks for the info sixteen-bit
I used this model since it was a non hi-def model that is said to have good audio. It was my first s-video mod Genesis and it turned out well but the inside would probably make mod pros here on the boards vomit. =P The jail bars stick out though and that is a huge bummer. The s-video jack isn't a standard store bought jack but one I pulled from a busted TV and yes it is hot glued in place but not crazy amounts of it. I might have to give that 10MHz mod a shot. Played through Rockman 1 and boy was that slow down city Yellow Devil in slow mo was super easy. Once I get my hands on proper parts I will be cleaning up my mod work as well as using some square boat rocker switches as my toggle buttons.

since i grabbed a copy, wanted to bump & say you've still got just over a week to get in on this one if anyone else is interested! fair price for cart, game & manual and the port actually looks pretty cool
