Analogue Mega SG Jailbreak: Games on SD Card, Sega CD BIOS, Game Gear and button lag!

[@SmokeMonster]

Getting to know me, getting to know me :D Great video!!

[@jejefrantic2842]

I knew u 😁 be cuz you are the one who uploaded all Sega Genesis games for mega ED in theisozone 👍 its long time ago when theisozone was alive😂

[@TombstoneChris]

Why do I feel like I'm watching a PBS show from the 90s? The video quality is reminiscent of that era and you know what I really dig it it is definitely not a bad thing.

[@ixnay099x4]

Please do a video on how to compile from smokemonster's database lists

[@Storm_.]

Wow, this feels like an 'infomercial' from the early 90's but in today-times! wow

[@mnw615]

I’m a little late to the game. Wasn’t sure if there was custom firmware available. This video covered everything I would be interested in. Thank you Lon for the great research.

[@Mattstiless]

Thank you for button lag test! Can't wait for Stadia button lag test LOL

[@iDX1701]

If you run games off an SD card, is it using emulation at all or is it still using legitimate hardware?

[@JosephSalomonsen]

Your channel is a good mix between serious analysis and comic relief. Excellent as always👌

[@Oysterblade84]

Definitely looking into getting a Mega SG sometime in the future, I have a Sony HD smart TV up in the bedroom and need one of these for that perfect picture quality through HDMI, money is the problem at the moment. I'm currently using a Mega Drive model 2 system hooked up to it which will do for now but the picture quality isn't very good through composite AV.

[@johnnycutterr]

Do you think it'll ever be possible to run Sega CD roms on this thing?

[@LonSeidman]

From what I'm hearing that will not be possible.. It would be great to see a modern device that could plug into that port and work with a BIOS on the SG to load in the CD games.

[@IllegalPriest]

doomguy you kinda can with a MegaSD, but that runs an extra 260$

[@videogameobsession]

It would be great to see more classic golden age console cores released for the Sg. I love the Atari 2600, 7800, and those are hard to get to look good on modern displays.

[@LonSeidman]

They did that on the NT Mini - it would be great to see those cores added to the Mega and Super NT too.

[@videogameobsession]

Yeah, I was really hoping we'd see some of those 20 Kevtris "Bonus Cores™" on the Super Nt, since I bought the AVS instead of the Nt Mini, but it never happened. I figured they wanted to use them in future stand alone Analogue systems. I understand the SMS, GG, SG-1000 cores for the Mega Sg, but the ColecoVision seems odd. I'm not complaining mind you! That gives me hope that we may see the others make their way over to the Sq, but maybe he added the CV only because it's so similar to the SG-1000 hardware. Both of those even being part of the Telegames Dina console. It has slots for both SG-1000 and ColecoVision carts. I think it would be nice and I don't really see Analogue making stand alone consoles for those older cores.

[@DSilvergun]

Please let me know when the Ultracore rom is available.

[@daminalangraham]

Can you PLLEAAASE do a video tut on how to get the everdrive rom packs? They are hidden behind python

[@JuanSanchez-rb4qu]

Is the fpga on this the same as the MISTer? couldnt it be modded to also play nes, snes and segacd games without the addon?

[@jdwolfpack93]

Lon.Tv how to use jailbreak system? It's too hard for me and download some games too

[@SodaGumX]

does the mega sg overwrite the old sega cd bios or is it loaded into ram? i doubt it since it was permanent chip

[@bbz149]

Great review!! I'll be getting 2 sent to a friend in the US who will forward to UK, so no ripoff UK Taxes!!

[@DigitalYojimbo]

It's almost like the manufacturer is leaking the jailbreak or making it really easy to do so.

[@utubepunk]

Nothing wrong with that.

[@Shadowbann3d]

It won’t harm their profit margin by doing so, it will only increase sales of their systems!

[@adonian]

late to seeing this.... now I want to get one. I just got my de-10, gonna work on that soon, but I like the console look of the analog consoles

[@celsowm]

Amazing! How about Sega 32x?

[@revengestory]

Does it play both .bin and .md files for the genesis? Also can it play sega cd games from the sd card? Thanks!

[@fernsehnostalgie]

Thank you! But what happens after this jailbreak with future firmware updates by the Analogue Team? Is this not possible anymore after the break?

[@LonSeidman]

Jailbreak firmware generally mirrors the official release.

[@fernsehnostalgie]

@@LonSeidman So you always have to repeat the jailbreak after the official firmware download?

[@differentxminds9907]

Do I need a bios for game gear and master system games?

[@LonSeidman]

No it should work without the bios.

[@differentxminds9907]

@@LonSeidman Thank you!

[@videogameobsession]

Hopefully we will see a "CopyNES" style addition so we can dump carts. Then I can truly put my Super Magic Drive (Mega Drive copier and floppy diskette drive) away for good. :)

[@maximusrow]

I really want to play “willy beamish” again but it’s such a slow point and click. Is it possible that this system would be quicker or is that slowness built into the game its self?

[@LonSeidman]

That’s definitely due to the game. That was a DOS PC game too it’ll run faster through dosbox.

[@IMDABROWN]

You are really trying to get me to dust off my ROM stash and start retro gaming

[@1upgames333]

Thanks man! Your video really helps a lot. Thank you very much. One question, if I jailbreak my mega sg is possible to go back to the oficial firmware?

[@LonSeidman]

Yes you can easily revert back just by loading in the official firmware. The jail break though is based on the official.

[@quesocoatl21]

So will it use pristine simulation with games on an SD card?

[@02337755]

The GG games sounded really clear

[@Superdimensional]

Someone needs to make a cool shroud for the Mega SG so when it’s sitting on a Sega CD It doesn’t look so ridiculous

[@FlintG]

Man I want this so bad. I still have my original genesis model 2.

[@Bloufo]

I was reading somewhere that the Bluetooth pad had considerably more input lag than the Joyzz and the other 8Bitdo 2.4G version. Not sure the exact type of tests that were run.

[@thomasnewfield9950]

The test doesn't state which Firmware versions were used on the BT models of the M30 and the Retro Receiver. For me it's working just fine and the 240p Suite Shows Shows almost no latency.

[@enthusiasticgamer88]

Pier Solar the 64 mb rpg works on this but not the Mega EverDrive X7 so I use this solely for that rom and game gear. I'm not willing to pay $400 CAD for a cart of it so I don't feel bad playing the rom lol.

[@videogameobsession]

Oh, I wouldn't feel too badly! Watermelon, and Fonzie in particular, are thieves. I, and many others ordered and paid for Paprium, a brand new Sega Genesis/MD fighting game which looked a lot like Streets of Rage. This was 2 years ago, and he's since taken everyone's money and gone into hiding.. He didn't even pay others he had hired to work on it. So screw WM.

[@enthusiasticgamer88]

Damn that sucks, I feel a lot less bad now for pirating Pier Solar though haha.

[@OldsXCool]

I would love to have one of these just to put it up against the Kega Fusion emulator which emulates Master System, Sega CD, and the 32X. I've been hard pressed to find any differences other than much higher sound and picture quality against my actual Genesis. Digital Foundry screwed up their comparison.

[@PLEYOR]

Do you think?

[@deckofcards87]

There's no 32x support... So how is this a clone exactly? That should be as obligatory as the Sega CD. I'll pass.

[@IllegalPriest]

SamuelStrikesBack probably adding all the AV connections would add a lot of extra cost such as what happened with the NT mini.

[@BAR-ct7ti]

What a mess! I just wanna plug and play!

[@zukoulou7464]

Road Rash : Jailbreak ! (Playstation) 😜

[@fretboarder4752]

The super ny should be running NES roms by now..no reason it cant

[@HometownUnicorn]

the Japanese version of sonic CD is the original version of sonic CD it's how the people who made the game intended to be until America decided hey let's slap some rubbish music on it like really really bad music on it that'll be ok! terrible.

[@chigimonky]

Calm down there sparky

[@rvbrexer]

@@chigimonky he's a bit ranting, but he's fundamentally right: Americans ruin everything they put their hands on. Most normal people's behavior when adapting something is: - let's translate this and make it as close as possible as the original, while the American attitude is: - let's make it "better" :D

[@mrb3991]

HI i wish i could get one, the Import tax to the UK is Expensive

[@nicklong27]

I didn't notice any import tax... are you sure you don't mean the postage?

[@asobineko4742]

@@nicklong27 the uk pays duty tax and vat on everything over, i think, £16 from outside the eu(for now). you'd be adding at least 30% to the price, if not closer to 40%. charges would be a suprise and occur on delivery. god save the queen, we mean it man.

[@robertgriffiths1736]

£41.15 to be exact ☹

[@Shadowbann3d]

I got stung for £40 import duty on my Super NT but my Mega SG arrived today and I haven’t had to pay a penny!

[@robertgriffiths1736]

@@Shadowbann3dOpposite for me, Super NT no duty at all?!?

[@redicoyote]

No save states when playing ROMs??? That's a deal breaker. Even the Atgames Genesis Flashback does that.

[@josephfrye7342]

oh its jailbreaker than atgames too atgames is turning into nintendon't

[@amandaswager8203]

30+ ms of lag sounds terrible!, that is nearly 2+ frames of lag... for retro games that is SLOW... I play the Mega SG on the 1080P TV that has less than 13ms lag (less than a frame), and my gaming monitor has less than 5ms lag, or basically instant... these consoles are basically unacceptable on a 4k display.

[@jasperfredrickson4420]

I feel really dumb for buying a bunch of everdrives now. :\
