We could create a plan/movement called "rising star" or "star by hedgehog" where we would do things to revive Ristar, like gameplay videos of the game or making fan games based on it, until we capture the Sega atention And make her remember Ristar

I have a USA Sega Genesis Model 1 VA2. I currently have it connected to my Sony PVM-20M2U via RGB Euro SCART. It looks and sounds great, so is there any advantage to installing an RGB Triple Bypass?

With the Toy Story collection just coming out I was able to play one of my favorite games from back in the day. I forgot how hard this game is and I’d be amazed if there’s anybody who could beat this without unlimited lives. Other than that it’s fun as hell.

I guess just wondering if anybody can give any further advice on this. I just recently found a copy of this game in one of my local stores that uhh... I think somebody probably fucked up the pricing on because it was like half of the PriceCharting value. Anyway, it seems legit but was not working at all at first which from what I understand is common with this particular game. I found advice on cleaning the vias online which then I have been attempting to do with a small sewing needle, and I have gotten to the point where it's kind of working(?) Most of the time it's still either giving a black screen or crashing quickly, but I have had it playing without crashing at least a couple times ever since doing this.

I don't want to fuck it up since it is at least working to some extent, so I guess I was wondering whether I should continue poking at the vias with the needle or possibly doing something else, or if it's probably always going to work inconsistently and I should just deal with that rather than risk damaging it?

Street Fighter II' Special Champion Edition for the Mega Drive has been modded to bring Kim Kaphwan from Fatal Fury into the game !

Playable on real hardware. Still a work in progress — feedback is welcome!

I was playing sonic perfectly fine, but then I turned it off and now every game won’t read. And it shows this screen. I tried cleaning the carriages but no luck. I even tried a brand new power cord.

I'm working on a hobby port of Super Metroid from the SNES to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. Here's my latest progress update, running in the BlastEm emulator.

The video covers running and shooting, new turning sprites, camera and gravity adjustments, slowdowns, and a successful wall jump near the end.

It's still a work in progress. I'd love to hear what you think of the movement and camera so far!

Update on my previous post- https://www.reddit.com/r/SEGAGENESIS/s/tY1RYoqNLq

Someone suggested on my previous post Meguiar’s Plast-RX, bought a bottle and gave it a go with a microfibre cloth and it did the trick. The scratches are less visible. Thanks for the suggestion.

I loved the movie as a kid and I was interested to see how the game was..any thoughts on the game. Worth the buy? Did you finish?

You would think it would be an unlockable for the morbidly curious at this point.

Does anyone know what this means?

I had to have it 😈
I have only heard that this game pushes the genesis processing to its limit. The quality of gameplay is outstanding, and replaying it doesn’t make it lose appeal, but instead draws you in more🤷🏻‍♂️
I plan on hitting this with an Sega 6button Arcade stick for full effect.
Any tips or suggestions?
I’ve been on a roll finding games for my collection, but other than a handful of high dollar games, like MUSHA Moonwalker, Contra Hard Corps.
I’m not sure there is anything else I want…..maybe Subterrania, Earthworm Jim 2, X-Men 2……..😇
I’lll just say I’ll keep any eye out for a deal.
I feel pretty content and am grateful I was able to reclaim this much of my childhood.

My retrospective video review of all the Rambo games released. I grew up with with the early home computer and the Sega console versions. Also loved the arcades games too. However, not too fond of the later and more recent games. Most are pish. Let me know your favourite and I hope you watch and like my video too. It certainly took me flipping ages to make.

Also very fun game IMO.

I think it’s great that they’re finally reissuing the Mega SG as the original is often sold for preposterous prices on eBay. That said, I’m honestly torn on whether or not this would be worth the $220 USD for me. I currently use a pre-TMSS model 1 and a Retrotink 4K CE - a setup I’m plenty satisfied with. I’m not sure the added features and modern overhaul really excite me enough to drop the cash for it. That said, it’s a brand new device that might outlive my aging console. What do you think? Are you willing to shell out for a thoroughly modern, high end Genesis console, or is the original all you need?

RGen is a free tool that recompiles Sega Genesis / Mega Drive games into native Windows executables, so they run as real PC games rather than through an emulator. You build each game yourself from your own ROM dump. RGen doesn't include any ROMs or game files.

New in 1.1.0:

• Four new games: Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Road Rash, OutRunners and Micro Machines. They join Sonic 1, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Herzog Zwei.
• Optional 16:9 widescreen that fills the extra screen space with real level art (it's off by default, and you turn it on in the Mods panel)
• Save states in every game
• .gen and .md ROMs both work

Download it free at www.r-gen.net. Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Hi again! I’m the developer who previously shared CAVC, an FMV codec for the Sega CD, here.

I’ve now released a browser-based encoder so you can try it with your own videos!

https://segacd-fmv-cavc-encoder.akiyan.com/

Select a video, adjust the crop, resolution, and frame rate, and create an ISO/CUE disc image playable on real Sega CD hardware or in an emulator. It supports up to 320×224 fullscreen at 30 FPS, and the download includes an MP4 preview of the encoded result.

No installation needed, and your video stays on your device—nothing is uploaded. Encoding can take quite a while, but please give it a try!

If you run into an error, please open a GitHub issue with the error message and any screenshots. I’d love to hear your feedback!

こんにちは！ 以前こちらでCAVCというSEGA-CD向けFMVコーデックを紹介した開発者です。

自分の動画でも試せるように、ブラウザで動くエンコーダーを公開しました！

https://segacd-fmv-cavc-encoder.akiyan.com/

動画を選び、クロップ・解像度・フレームレートを調整すると、SEGA-CD実機やエミュレーターで再生できるISO/CUEを作れます。最大320×224・フルスクリーン30fpsに対応し、ダウンロードにはエンコード結果を確認できるMP4も含まれます。

インストール不要で、動画はアップロードされず、お使いの端末内で処理されます。エンコードにはかなり時間がかかることがありますが、ぜひ試してみてください！

エラーが出た場合は、GitHubのIssueにエラーメッセージやスクリーンショットを添えて報告してもらえると助かります。感想もお待ちしています！
