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

I'm old enough to get seriously stoked for a ColecoVision core.
Was there any particular reason the Super Nt never got this?
Cool. I hope I can use the roms I converted from the Sega Classics collection on steam with it.
Well a ton of us Super NT owners have an NTT Data pad which is perfect for CV. So we wait.
SG-1000 and Colecovision are basically the same thing so that's why it is here in this first jailbreak.
And there it is.. thanks.
I don't have my replacement for the incorrect Sg yet. So the core is present but there's no way to control games that use the numerical pad?

I did. Super NT was jailbroken one week from release. Today is one week from Mega SG's release.
The notes suggest there is a limit on how many files you can have in a folder. Haven't tried it yet.
Wait, why do the notes mention Game Gear and Master System but you're saying it doesn't support it?
That page was updated to include support after it was posted.
Because:

I looked at the jailbreak before Smoke committed the readme. It changed a few minutes later.
Ah, got it. Thanks for the clarification.
Whelp. It seems like it's still there, as I just saw the option was still there in that guy's stream of the jailbreak.
I wouldn't think it would be taken away anyways, though.
Analogue jailbreaks are "unofficial" wink, nudge.
They won't remove anything.
No ColecoVision controllers use a slightly different pin assignment and are not supported by the core
Bummer. So how do you start most Coleco games when they require you to hit a number on the keypad to select players and difficulty?
From what I gathered from the stream chat, you need the cart. Could be remembering that wrong though. It was like an hour ago when they talked about that. I'll scrub through the VoD now since it's over and see if I can find them talking about it again.
Don't worry about it, found this in the readme:
Not really stressed because I have PAL (which doesn't work in a real MD for some reason, perhaps broken SVP) and NTSC-J copies of VR anyway, but interesting to know. Goes to show how good the FPGA is that it can interface with the SVP on the cart itself to run.
Sounds like you just leave a VR cart in there, then use the jailbreak for the rest of the titles :)
Damn, lol. I was just about to report back that I saw that in the "supplemental guide" whatever thingy. Missed it by that much.
It's easy to implement though so here's hoping. FPGA consoles can reconfigure how ports are accessed. There's also adapters like the "2600 D9 dapter" that auto detect and there's no reason an FPGA console can't do the same. The D9 ports on the upcoming LL Cool Joy for MiSTer are going to access almost any D9 controller imaginable in time.
MiSTer is not as mature as any Analogue cores but there are way more cores and always more on the way and more features. MiSTer has better scanline options but low latency HDMI is experimental and doesn't always work with every core and display device. MiSTer is far from plus and play. It's pretty straightforward, they are pretty different. I'm sure we'll get some videos sometime. John Linneman should have one before too long, heh.
Virtua Racing is the only genesis game that uses a special chip on cart. And yes, any new official firmware releases will make the jailbreak firmwsre technically out of date. I would imagine the jailbreak firmware being released simultaneously however since kevtris does them.
Have a look at the readme for it, I think I saw something in there about it that went into more detail.
Sega CD BIOS are region locked. There are hacked ones out there that are region free. Loading one of those will let you boot games from any region. Alternately, you can just load a BIOS for the region of the game you want to play.
I buckled and bought and 8Bit Do controller rather than waiting for the wired repro ones to come into stock after two delays. I can't be doing with that. Hopefully I can crack it open and update the firmware without having to buy additional screwdrivers.
Good to see the jailbreak is live, though. Might hold on a while before installing, though.

I had to order a screwdriver off Amazon! The actual update process was easy and the controller is a joy to use. The update fixed the many connection issues I was having so be sure to update before you do anything. I've ordered the 6 button Retro-Bit ones off Amazon but they have been heavily delayed until the end of May which has annoyed me!
I think I'll wait a while before I do the JB also!
Yeah the delay fucking slayed me so I just thought screw it!
I may even order a 2nd 8bitdo. Then when the others arrive I have some 4 player Micro Machines J-Cart goodness to look forward to!
Very happy with my joyzz pad.
Currently trying to get first place on the ifrit race in Story of Thor to get one of the unlimited bows, which is as frustrating as always lol
