Is this the coolest, most impressive - and accurate - Mega Drive clone yet? Join D dark10x for a detailed breakdown of the new Analogue Mega Sg, including an overview of its features, and the most comprehensive battery of emulation tests.

- BONUS -


DF Retro Extra: Sega's Blast Processing Was Real - But What Did It Actually Do? D dark10x and talented coder Gabriel Morales discuss Sega's almost legendary 'Blast Processing' (no, its not Sonic 3D Blast), what it actually was, how it worked and why it never actually appeared in any Genesis/ Mega Drive games - nope, not even Sonic 2...

BlastEm author talked about Mega SG and Titan's Overdrive 2 demo a few days ago.



Genesis certainly featured blast-processing back in the day compared to Super Nintendo and PC Engine. Just imagine a Super Nintendo with 16-bit data bus and M68000 CPU.

Hm, not the best timing with the Mega Drive Mini just being announced. It seems to do decently well at what it set out to do however.

Its really someone playing mega drive with that terrible sound from atgames system?
You can bet on that.

Awesome video.

As I said, the sound quality matters me the most. I like that you tested the sound quality between emulators and the genesis.

If you could rank, what would be yours?

Decently? Everybody's been praising it to high heavens and since it's a FPGA console there's a high chance MD Mini won't be able to match it in emulation accuracy. And since Mega Sg needs original cartridges there's no competition between the two.

Understatement is a thing :p As for the competition aspect...it always depends on what people are looking for.
