Analogue announces the Mega Sg (shipping early, March 25th)

There's a completed (99%) Amiga version but it isn't available
Psygnosis was supposed to publish it
Think I'm starting to notice a few issues with button presses on the M30 not registering. Gonna have to try and update the firmware to the beta one Analogue sent me yesterday. Just need to find a screwdriver that can work on the receiver.
Wait... I didn't realise you had to update the receiver too. Has it just got a USB port on it then once you open it up?
Yeah, there's a micro USB connector hidden inside the casing.
Yeah and once you find a screwdriver small enough its nice and simple. Just appears as a drive on your PC then you drop the firmware in it and disconnect.
I ended up using a tri-bit screwdriver but I think it's a small security screw from first glance.
MN. Day one order, mine shipped and will be at my door on Wed according to tracking.
Still using one of my old pads right now, but I ordered a joyzz which hopefully will be here this week.
So the instructions for updating the 8Bitdo M30 2.4ghz are a bit confusing, and I was expecting to use the firmware update tool like their other controllers rather than just placing files on the drive the controller appears as.
I had to hold L+R and then hold Start to get it into pairing mode, then connect it by USB. Since updating to firmware 2.0 I can't seem to get it back into this mode.

Did you see 8bitdo released firmware 2.0 which addresses connectivity and latency issues?
It. Has. Shipped!
And is due... tomorrow. Yet is still in Texas. This should be interesting to say the least.
Let's fuckin' go!

I hadn't seen that it had come out officially but that's the same one as the beta firmware I mentioned.
Some how I missed my email from Friday but mine has totally shipped and it gets here Wednesday.
They've actually reviewed different Sega clone/emulation devices in the past, and they've also reviewed the SuperNT, so it was expected.
This is not how we keep the 90's console war fires burning well into the 21st century! I'm calling the cops.
Was just gonna post this. I love his channel in general so I'm really happy to see him reviewing it this early.
Edit: Whoa! Demoscene stuff working flawlessly blows my mind. Jesus...

I love it too! I haven't actually watched this yet I'm gonna watch them all later.
Just got my shipping notification! On my original order it said DHL (am in the UK) but email says FedEx. Is this bad news?
Hopefully you wont have any issues but as I said earlier, the FedEx driver today either went to the wrong house or more likely, claimed I wasn't in so he could skip my delivery and make up time.
I've also heard from someone on another forum that they received two Mega SGs today as FedEx just bundled them together despite having two different delivery addresses on them.
Seemingly, yes. Expect to pay a £12-ish handling fee on top of any customs charges. Read back through the thread for a way to dispute this should you feel the need.
Aw man really? Wasn't expecting these costs to all mount up like this 😰
Just got a text message from FedEx. £41.15 import fee which is roughly what I paid last year with DHL for the Super NT.
I just received my import charge. £41.15 (£29.15 import tax and £12 processing fee).
Thanks for the info guys! Hope there is a way around paying this
Best you can hope for is a refund on the £12.
I didn't pay anything on my Super NT so am kinda willing to suck this one up.
its so cool you can play game gear games.
that's the only reason i want an RGB analogue adaptor. the rest of the system you can get cheap for analogue connection

I'm outta plugs so I'm damn pleased I can power this off my TV at least haha.
That sucks! Though I'm sure they'll be great about swapping systems for you. That definitely sucks though. That happened with my original Analogue Nt and due to the limited nature of it they couldn't do anything except refund me the money I spent to get the alternate color (alternate colors were available for an additional cost).
Lost as to how to update the M30 2.4G. There are just .dat files in the zip folder with no application. Tried using the updater from a different controller but it won't recognise the controller even though Windows does.
Seems like you just drag files over as opposed to running an app like previous controllers:
I tend to like the mechanical design of 8bitdo controllers but honestly the whole FW upgrade song and dance you have to do every time you get one just to get it to work properly is getting a little ridiculous.
It's not just drag and drop the file to the controller when connected to a PC like the dongle posted above?
For the controller hold L+R then press the Start. The two LEDs at the top will start flashing. Now plug it in by USB to your computer and it will appear as an external drive. The name of the drive is the version of firmware it's currently on. Once you have it like this just copy the firmware file on to this drive, and disconnect the USB. If it gets stuck with the two LEDs flashing hold Start for a few seconds to stop it.
You must do the receiver as well or, as far as I can tell, it will no longer connect. Open the receiver up with a screw driver to reveal the USB port, plug it in and do the same as with the controller by copying it's own firmware file.

Well so far I've come across one game that won't load at all, James Bond 007 The Duel and one that keeps freezing during gameplay, Comix Zone.
I'm more of an actual hardware guy, in the case of the SNES my recapped 1chip with the ghosting fix looks damn near perfect running through the OSSC. I wish the same could be said of my Mega Drive though; jail bars, ram noise and the peculiarities of my VA1 YM2612 has me eyeing one of these off.
I'm considering having it recapped and getting an RGB bypass installed ... but that would probably pay for 3/4 of a Mega SG.
