You guys are lucky. Feeling quite ignored on the SNT JB side of things. ;_;

Analogue's Mega Sg |OT| The Hardcore Uprising - Maybe You Should Play Checkers Instead?
- Thread starter thepenguin55
- Start date
Well now I feel dumb.
Edit: correction, dumber than usual
*Edit: nvm
Nah, I've been getting 404s since the tweet went up. Hasn't gone live yet and store page hasn't updated yet.
I went to the page directly (not following the link) and then clicked on the product and it took me to the purchase page.
The link in the tweet is wrong. This is the correct one.
EDIT: The twitter link started working.
Standard SG was $50 shipping. If you're in UK there are additional customs charges too.
Hmm, not in the UK but in Switzerland and would likely get similarly blootered with charges but hmm. Thank you for the information though!
Received the Hyperdub ver for Christmas. Don't like the UI as much, but the cart is incredible. Super happy and grateful.
So, I grew up a Genesis kid but find the SNES stuff waaaay more playable today. With that in mind, I need a Genesis game now so any recommendations for something that's really "playable?" Thought about doing Sonic Spinball for nostalgic reasons (the Genesis with Sonic 1 pack-in is the first console I ever purchased with my own cash, but Spinball is the first game I ever purchased with my own money), but it wasn't even really all that good at the time.

I got my Mega SG for Christmas and played Genesis and SMS games all day yesterday. I've installed the latest firmware and gotten my scanline settings dialed in how I like them. I'm using 8bitdo M30 with the Genesis adapter and it's worked flawlessly so far. Only thing I haven't tried yet is hooking up the Sega CD. I guess the next step is to pick up the DAC when it's back in stock so I can get my 32X working.
My only disappointment is that the JB MegaSG doesn't support dumping your games to the SD like the SuperNT does. I assumed it did but that's what you get for assuming.
Does anyone consider selling their old hardware when they get these new Analogue FPGA models? I thought about selling my old NES/SNES/Genesis for a few seconds since I doubt I'll use them much anymore but ultimately decided I'd probably regret it at some point so I suppose they will just sit in the closet. If the DAC doesn't work with my CRT to my satisfaction that might be a reason to keep them around.

Funny enough 32X caused me to double back and buy an original model 2 Genesis. Since that's much cheaper than buying a DAC just for 32X compatibility, that and cheap Genesis consoles are readily available and the DAC isn't.
Also now I have a setup where I can just run everything without having to fiddle with removing the 32X when I want to play Master System or run Sega CD games off the Mega SD.
I've definitely strongly considered it but decided to just box them up as well. There is still the rare occasion where I want to pull out original hardware to confirm things. These are the primary way I play these games now though. Above software emulation, above original hardware, which is the highest compliment I can give.
Mega SG Cartridge adapters are complete and will be available for purchase and shipping this week
better late than never. The jailbreak has kinda made this a moot point for me, but i have a dufflebag of game gear games i'd definitely use the adapter for.
i keep thinking about biting the bullet on the DAC but its $98 after shipping...

Sorry but why would you want the DAC if you didn't have a CRT or PVM? - even if an LCD monitor understands the analog signal its internal scaler is going to be absolute garbage compared to the stock HDMI output of the Super NT/Mega SG/NT Mini.
At the time the original pre-orders went up I had assumed I would have found a CRT/PVM by the time the DAC would get shipped.
Now I'm broke and don't know when I'd get a proper monitor... but on the plus side I already have one so it's nice for when I do finally get a decent monitor for retro games.

Ah that makes sense.
I know the pain of hunting for a PVM. I only scored my 20L2 by accident.
These guys really need to do something about their shipping rates. They're 3 tiny pieces of plastic. I'm in NYC, not Guam.
When it was a console, I understood. With this (and the DAC) though? I get that they're small and they can't get the bulk discount rates the big guys do but surely there must be some alternative here.

$50 is a bit expensive for what they are, but I guess I'm in anyway.
I thought I had it bad with my $18 shipping, but seeing everyone else's makes me think I got lucky.

Is there any reason to think these adapters will sell out/be out of stock for a prolonged amount of time? I don't have an Sg yet but was thinking about grabbing these while they're available.
If I wait though I can get them at the same time as an Sg and combine shipping.

I'd imagine that would depend on how much demand there is. If they have trouble selling out the initial run it'd probably be hard to justify a second run.
Goddammit just sell the GG adapter separately
wtf analogue i love you but i dont love love you right now

The GG adapters are subsidizing the others plain and simple.
I just tried purchasing them, and they were removed from the cart because they're supposedly sold out.
Oh cool. I was working and didn't see the tweet, and then missed out.
Then again with that bundle and shipping prices being what they are, I'm almost relieved.
They've got good products, I won't deny them that, but I find myself wondering how soon they'll start cutting corners on their hardware to make an extra buck.

They are already cutting corners by leaving bugs to persist while they move on to the next big thing.
Yep. Between the DAC, the adapter bundle, and the upcoming Pocket, they'll nab a cool $60 on shipping too. Guess that's one way to celebrate/explore the history of video games with the respect it deserves.
