+Zeptari Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) I’m just putting my feelers out. Would anyone consider this trade? It works great and has a ton of games. I just feel like I wanna concentrate on my Genesis collection. The Mister FPGA setup: DE10 Nano 7 Port Hub 128MB SD RAM Module I/O Board Noctua Fan ASUS WiFi module PSU and power splitter cable 256GB SD Card SEGA SMS/Genesis SNAC adapter Nintendo Switch controller. I’d gladly take a new Mega SG shipped for trade too! It doesn’t have to be used. ? Edited August 7, 2022 by Zeptari1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA128k Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If I still had my Mega SG I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesusc Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Is that the real reason why you’re ditching your Mister? Because it’s white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Both MiSTer and Mega SG are FPGA cores. The MiSTer has well updated 32x, Genesis and SegaCD cores.. why would you trade for another FPGA system with less cores? I mean, take out non Genesis ROMs and only use a Genesis controller: there's your focus without giving up features. UPDATE: Forgot to mention I have both systems. I have homebrew that only works on the MiSTer like War in the Machine. Although I have communicated with KevTris and he may have made an update to the SG firmware by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mister is currently having a Saturn core developed for it. For me that’s a lot of Sega goodness in one place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are devices that let you use your actual genesis carts. Though the extra steps involved may be too much for the original poster.

That's actually pretty cool, I didn't know it was possible on MiSTer. But, yeah, if somebody is interested only in Megadrive then SG is a neater solution than MiSTer's many-cables/add-ons one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Yeah. Mainly I wanted to understand Zeptari1 and his logic. Figured I may be missing something especially since I spoiled myself already with all the options. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those a thing "only" for Genesis, or are there others, too? A quick Google search found some posts with people arguing about whether its possible, and this gem -- 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 It can also present SNES carts and their saves as files on what the MiSTer and PC see as a USB drive. The version 2 has joystick ports that people have varying degrees of success with (on the MiSTer). MiSTer fans seem to get serious about lag so I doubt it's useful.

Of course we could trade our Mega Sg's and then you could trade my Japanese style Mega Sg with the OP's MISTer, but that would be quite tedious. ?

jesusc Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Theoretically, I could mail you my system, you mail yours to him, he mails me the Mister. I’d be willing to do it in that order so that I take on all risk of getting screwed. Whatcha think Zeppo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) The thing is I live in France, so the shipping cost might be too high. Of course it's better to just send the system alone, as Mega Sg's box is quite big. Edited August 8, 2022 by roots.genoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found myself playing mostly just genesis games on it lately. And I have a fairly large cartridge collection. Now I’m starting to second-guess… naawwww .But you know what, I could always get one of those ever drives with the CD support in it , right? And I had a 32X for ever. Just sold that late last year.. Made a small fortune on it ,but honestly don’t miss it. I don’t know , I gotta sleep on this a few nights…..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmeister92 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Zeptari, If I were you, I'd just keep the MiSTer. The MiSTer is going to do everything that a Mega SG can do except play carts, but you have so many other cores that it can run. In your configuration, you'd get $450-$500 or more for the MiSTer. A Mega SG isn't even worth the $320 they sell for right now. The FPGAs will eventually come back in stock and they'll sell new from Analogue for ~$189. You could always get a Triple Bypass RGB modified Genesis and run a Mega Everdrive Pro to emulate a Sega CD. That's what I do. I have a lot more fun with that than I did with my Mega SG.

In that case I’ll take $499 for it. ? JK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
