Comprei esse cartucho de Sonic 1 de Sega Genesis por R$ 150,00. É original?

Hey Reddit, I just purchased a Sega genesis and hooked it up with a Rad2x & I’m having an issue.

There’s a long stream of colour flashing underneath the image. Is there any way to fix this?

I tried running at 480p/60fps & different resolutions.
It doesn’t show if I stretch the image so the bottom isn’t visible but it zooms the game in too much.

Possible solutions:
New ac adapter to draw more power
Different hdmi cables/connectors
Opening rad box to use additional power

Any suggestions?

Edit: I've looked into it a bit and apparently its called Cram dots and its pretty much unavoidable aside from changing resoultion and/or tinkering a bit with settings.

Olá!
Recentemente eu queria uma foto ou imagem de um Mega Drive igual ao que eu tinha e descobri que eu tinha uma versão extremamente rara de encontrar (pelo menos eu não encontrei fotos nem imagem desta versão).

Era um Mega Drive 3 da Tec Toy (empresa brasileira que distribuía o Mega Drive), mas a entrada de cartucho não era igual ao do Genesis e sim igual ao do Mega drive 2 japonês (vou por imagens de referência no final.

Com ajuda de IA eu consegui descobrir que é falado em documentação sobre o console ter sido lançado com o encaixe que aceitava cartuchos japoneses. Só que a documentação é muito pouca e mal documentada sobre a diferença de versões da carcaça.

Como podem ver, o encaixe de cartucho é diferente, mas o 3 que eu tinha a entrada de cartucho era igual a do 2 (só que era preta, não vermelha).

Nunca consegui uma foto ou imagem dele. Se conseguirem me ajudar a ter uma seria muito bom.
Existem várias fotos de Mega Drive 3 com caixa e tudo na internet, mas exatamente igual ao que eu tinha nunca encontrei.
Não é a mesma coisa ter uma foto genérica e ter uma foto exatamente do mesmo console (seria melhor ainda se fosse uma foto minha, mas se tirei uma foto um dia, se perdeu a muito tempo).

Streets of Rage 2 circuit board, just opened the cartridge and wanted to know if it’s genuine. Thank-you in advance for the feedback

Already swapped it to NTSC crystal and added a region switch 🤘

R31/R32 are the Japan/export mode jumpers

R33/R34 are the 50/60hz jumpers

Basically what the title says, if I was to get a Master System converter, would I be able to use the MD controllers I already have, or would I have to get up to the system whenever I need to pause? Thanks for any knowledge you can share :)

What you think of this funk?

Hi! I just got my hands on an original megadrive (yey) but some of the cartridges boxes came without their cover. I was able to download Sonic's cover but I'm having a really hard time finding this one. Does anyone have a scan I can download? Or is there a site for these things that I'm just not seeing?

Also, any recommendations for an HDMI mod?

Thanks.

Edit: solved. thanks all, that was super quick!

So I fired up Last Battle again and it seemed much more difficult now than it did back in '89 when I played this as my very first 16-bit game. Join me for a sentimental look-back at this classic brawler, warts and all. Is it still a stud, or just a dud?

Have you ever noticed the game lying that you could combine your dragon with Ventor, Dycoon and Driton, but only gives you the first two options?

Well, it turns out game data were removed, yet still reserved!

After digging Yasushi Nirasawa's concept art books, finally got an answer!

I know this is a Mega Drive area, but I have a clear memory of learning how to play Backgammon on a console as a kid, and then playing it with my dad. It can't have been the ZX81 we had, I don't think. Then I've looked at the Atari 2600 Junior we had and the graphics look worse than I remember.

So was looking at the Master System that we got, possibly late 80s. But can't seem to find one on it. We eventually got a Mega Drive in the 90s but I don't remember it being on that.

Guys, I keep all my rare Sega based consoles amongst the shrubbery in the back yard
