Re: new project : The GoMad!
well, if youre used to playing genesis on an emulator, it can be a bit jarring playing on a PAL region system, because they tend to run about 18% slower than the NTSC variants due to the power frequency difference (60hz ntsc, 50hz PAL) good point!, never thought of that, so its perfectly normal tha...

Re: 23x was good

Re: new project : The GoMad!
Hmm, that's the European version of the sega firecore it is, even has firecore on the menu screen. got the unit yesterday, along with my screen, a 4gamers 5" gamecube one, so ive been testing them both. about the firecore, the music on games, even the built in ones, plays slowly, it sounds to me as...

Re: new project : The GoMad!
If you want a REALLY small genny, go for the radica. It's cheap, got good voltage, is about half the size of the genny 3, and better audio/video. The only problem is that you have to use your own cart slot. thanks for the info!, using some of my thinking time i managed to come up with the correct p...

Re: new project : The GoMad!
There is region coding, but the earlier games lacked it. You'll probably want to add a region mod to it. There's no major differences that I know of between the Genesis model 1/2 and Megadrive model 1/2, but there is no Japanese Megadrive 3, so the smallest of the made-by-Sega hardware is only the ...
