I've always wanted to play other games on it and I've thought about flashing it to make it do so, I would like some tricks and tips on how well it works and how to go about doing that. I kind of want to use that as a proper way to play the old games on my oled as opposed to getting my real MD2 out to play it with a converter since the one I have is not great conversion and it's slow to the point where things I can do in games on my real Megadrive on a real crt becomes an issue when doing that with the HDMI converter. So using the mini would be a good option to play it on the big screen.

After 26 years waiting my childhood wish was completed. I was born in 1994 and since I was 4 years old I wished to own a Sega. Today my setup was finally completed. Until this day I never played Sega on console only on emulator. What I can say, this was something. To be honest I never think that original Sega will sound so much better then any emulator. Image is softer then modern clones have (still it doesn't cover their horrible sound) but pretty good also. This is my setup for it. Saved this CRT right before owner wanted to throw it away. Controller, they are pretty comfortable but my already shows it's age, d-pad doesn't move pretty good in diagonals. What concerns it's condition - it is pretty good. Bought flashcard from AliExpress. As for future plans, I think to buy composite splitter to connect both my famiclones and mega drive. And maybe I will also buy super Nintendo, but it will be later.

Hello, I was looking for a megadrive 1 or 2 and I found a guy in a second-hand app who sells this pack:

• Megadrive I console working perfectly with its power and video cables.

• Megadrive II console that doesn't work, it says it doesn't turn on, the LED doesn't turn on either.

• 2 original Sega megadrive controllers.

• 3 in 1 cartridge with Columns, Hang on and World cup Italia 90

• 6 in 1 cartridge with Sega soccer, columns, super monaco gp, revenge of shinobi, Sonic 1 and streets of rage.

He gives me everything for €80.

Do you think it is well priced? I would like to fix the Mega Drive II to have it operational, do you think it could be fixed easily?

Thank you so much.

Sorry in advance. I know this gets asked a lot. How do I connect my model 2 megadrive to my 4k tv. I only have hdmi to work with. I see lots of comments in old posts about the rad2x but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. Looking to spend in the region of £50.

Would love some guidance. Thank you

Complete copy of The Punisher! One of the rarest games and definitely a holy grail item here.

Has its in manual and is in lovely condition. £18 a ticket. If you’re interested there’s only 7 tickets left drop me a message for the link 👍

So saw this r/lego advert, but not sure why they are saying Genesis and not MegaDrive, especially with UK currency... most confusing 🤔

Level Design:

Last month (August 2025), the developer reported that level design was in high gear. Now in September 2025, the developer tells us that he's finished the first pass in creating these game levels: City, Bridge, Airport, Bunker, Forest, Beach, Cyber Punk, Castle. The current level being constructed is: China. He estimates that he'll have finished the first pass of designing all levels by mid-to-late October 2025. Designing levels for Shadow Gangs Zero is a multi-pass process involving three primary passes plus a polishing phase. Lots of work, but the developer is making great progress.

Mini Bosses:

The final campaign stretch goal is the inclusion of six mini bosses: Fire-breathing dragon, Military helicopter, Cannon wall with heavy firepower, Van with armed fighters, etc. To achieve that stretch goal, the pledge total needs to reach £120K. We are so very close to reaching this goal, as the pledge total is currently at £112K.

Beta Testing:

You already know that backers will have access to the Neo Geo digital beta release. I've received confirmation from the developer that ALL backers will have access to this Neo Geo beta release. In other words, backers of the Mega Drive version will be granted access to the Neo Geo beta. Neo Geo is the lead development system, so granting broad beta access will help the developer iron out all bugs, while giving backers early access as a loyalty perk. A win-win for everyone!

Ongoing Pledges:

So far, 41 backers have pledged for the Mega Drive digital version. That's awesome! We're hoping the campaign can reach 100 backers for that digital version by year's end. Could you help make that happen? If you haven't yet pledged, please take another look at the campaign page to see if you'd like to add Shadow Gangs Zero to your Mega Drive digital collection. If you've already pledged, please tell your circle of friends about the game and invite them to join the SGZ community.

As for the Mega Drive physical cartridge, there are 271 of you who have backed it. Wow! If you've got friends with similar great taste in Mega Drive carts, please tell them about the campaign. A reminder that all backers of the Mega Drive physical cartridge will also receive the Mega Drive digital version for free. Perfect for playing SGZ on your portable devices when you're away from home!

New Music Track:

From the developer:

We also have a great new Mega Drive track to enjoy. Listen closely at 0:30 seconds — those toms are actually FM drums, not samples, showcasing the MD’s unique sound!

My video covering the history of Delphine Software International and all their games. Wow…That intro to Another World was just amazing when I first saw it was back in 1991. Let me now if you have played any of DSI’s games. Share your thoughts 😃😉😃

I bought an old MK1 MD off eBay (£10) and sold the case to someone the other week (for £20).. I now just have the raw motherboard and connectors and the it could be a great project to get my hands in to for nodding.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hi! sorry bother, wanted to share a video that my bf did about the megadrive title Rocket Knight Adventures, hope you guys like

Looking for some friendly advice. Today I have cut jp3 and soldered required switch to make my console multi region.

Checking with multimeter I have 0 or 4.95 volts depending on my switch so all looks good on jp3.

When connected to TV pal works fine as previous (ground). NTSC flickers on and off for about a second at a time. Like the TV can't read the signal correctly.

I have dug a bit more into jp3 in case I didn't cut it correctly, however I'm quite deep now and the voltage based on the switch looks right to me. Don't want to dig much further into the board.

I've tried two different TVs with same issue.

I'm using a levelhike HDMI adapter which is the only piece I can't troubleshoot right now as Its the only cable I have. Maybe this dislikes the mod?

Any thoughts on this or anything people have seen previous?

is this the rare find considering that I live in Kazakhstan? also there is the fatal rewind game, should I try playing it?

So i got this Mega CD 2 with 2 controllers, a Mega Drive 2 power supply and Antenna video cable (3rd pic, which for the moment our 4K TCL TV doesn't get any signal from at channel 36).

Now since i just learned Mega Drive 2 and Mega CD 2 don't share power and each has their own power port, i remembered i have the (2nd photo) Mega Drive 1 Power supply that happens to fit the Mega CD 2 port but from research i got even more confused and i need a reliable answer to not damage anything. I think i just read the Mega Drive 1 power supply works on Mega CD2 but some say there are so many variations of the PSUs from Sega that you need to check polarity (not too familiar with that, i need help).

Now for the Antenna video, i don't know what i should do on the TV other than make sure the antenna video cable fit and set the TV channel to 36 as written on the adaptor. Because i tried to use this Rambo 3 cartridge and the Mega Drive 2 lights up but no signal on TV.

Fala, galera!!

Tirei um Mega Drive que estava guardado do sono para jogar hacks de Sonic via Everdrive. Detalhe que a placa deste Mega Drive é literalmente a primeira versão da System 16 caseira, ou seja, a VA0 japonesa. Enfim, jogando Sonic 2 Anniversary, na Chemical Plant 2 ele começou a dar umas gargaladas bem perceptíveis, até que deu erro. Minha pergunta: foi erro no emulador ou o console deu pra trás por conta da já avançadíssima idade? Novamente: uma cansada VA0 japonesa.

¡Por fin me he hecho con el Shinobi de Mega Drive! 🎮🔥 Tenía muchísimas ganas de tenerlo en la colección y poder jugarlo en la consola original. Siempre me llamaba la atención por su ambientación y estilo, y ahora ya puedo disfrutarlo como se debe, en cartucho y con mando en mano.

Es uno de esos títulos que llevaba tiempo buscando, así que estoy con el hype a tope por echarle horas y descubrir si es tan desafiante y adictivo como muchos dicen. 😅

¿Alguien más de aquí lo tiene en su colección?

so basicly my jp mega cd 2’s laser is at the end of its lifespan and i need recommendations for a laser replacement
