mike99mccarthy Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 has anyone ever took apart a pico beena? is it possible that sega used like... leftover neptune hardware to make these?I know about the neptune how to and it is a pain in the ass lol!! I thought that if sega were smart they would have used that hardware for something over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Pico is 16-bit, no 32x stuff there. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike99mccarthy Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 thanks but the pico "beena" is a newer system that is the succesor to the original pico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Interesting... I didn't know Sega had gotten back into that market... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Pico_Beena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Color me clueless. I has no idea Sega got back into the hardware market! That's the first thing since Dreamcast died. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 thanks but the pico "beena" is a newer system that is the succesor to the original pico It is pretty unlikely that it has been built on any NOS hardware from Sega. Anything left over from the 32x would have either been cleared out or destroyed by now - no reason to sit on a bunch of old hardware.

mike99mccarthy Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 yea I see what you mean.....it would have been a good idea for sega, but it also would have been dumb to hold on to that stuff for all those years. plus most people believe there was never even a working prototype. so I guess it's unlikely. If anyone has a pice "beena" it would be cool to take one apart anyway just to see what they used. but they are jpn only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
