Sega Camega - Handheld Mega Drive With Camera And Media Player

[@massproducedeva_]

The buttons are in Comic Sans.

[@Vyrsace]

What I'm impressed with is that this Camega even considered ebooks. During it's time, ebooks were way below mainstream and I can't imagine a vast majority of users would even have one ebook file or know where to get one or how to use one. Seems way ahead of its time.

[@marioluigifun]

Is the text next to the buttons in comic-sans?

[@Knuxfan24]

Has Sonic 1 & 2. Has Art on the box from 3 & CD & Spinball. GG Artists.

[@yesticles]

Art is from Sonic 1 & Sonic 2 Beta...

[@Knuxfan24]

I don't remember Amy & Knuckles being in Sonic 1 & 2 however.

[@yesticles]

I thought you were talking about the screen shots. My bad

[@pixeltaku]

I would have loved this when I was young- OH MY GOD THE EMULATION AUDIO NO

[@KOSMOS1701A]

Sega do more of this, but with the Dreamcast, please. :D

[@TheOldSchoolGamer94]

I think a softmodded PSP with Picodrive would be a the better option for those who want to take their Genesis games on the go. You can put a good amount of Genesis roms on a 2GB memory card and the sound is quite good, plus save states.

[@RetroGameTech]

RGB Scart. It's a type of video connection that is very common here in the UK. Just about every TV you can buy still comes with a Scart socket. Even modern LED flatscreens have it. It's not used so much nowadays but it gives very high picture quality. Better than S-Video and composite. Most of the old PAL consoles support RGB Scart. When hooked up to a properly calibrated screen it can make consoles like the Mega Drive/Master System look like they're outputting in HD. Google RGB Scart.

[@RossNJay]

You have inspired me, so I bought 10 RROD Xbox's for £100 (Scotland) and fixed them all and kept one and sold the other 9 and made over £400

[@slade307]

I wish the AtGames portable unit had an MP3 player. I rarely play portable devices with the volume turned up so the sound emulation isn't a big deal, but adding MP3 player would mean one less device to carry. I have the 6-button version which has an SD slot for loading ROMs.

[@TorutheRedFox]

I'd take a Sega Nomad over any of those any day.

[@Trident22]

Just purchased one for my SEGA collection. Nice little addition. 👍

[@LuDaCo93]

NOOOOOO! WHY COMIC SANS! Couldn't that have labeled their buttons using a font similar to the one used with CAMEGA logo.

[@LuDaCo93]

Yes. It's just that it makes things look cheap, even when they are not intended to look that way. Also when producers design something it should follow a certain style, which is intelligently chosen to give their devices uniformity and some amount of elegance. I think comic sans should be reserved for bake sale announcements in middle school, and as the official font of the "F's" put on people's tests and homework assignments, so that it angers people into trying harder just so that they don't have to look at another comic sans F in their lives.

[@AnTran147]

Luis Cortes Comic sans should never be used for anything ever.... They probably didn't pay their designers enough

[@cuddleslapine]

the fact that the right bezel of the screen is much thicker than the left would just drive me insane

[@machomanOOOOHYEEEAH]

Andy Murray here, taking 5 mins out of his busy tennis schedule to share some of his tech collection.

[@vice86]

I didn't realize ATGames went that far back with Sega stuff.

[@BeyBlade1999]

Me=This looks pretty cool, I just might buy this to play in School when I'm bored. RGT:And your Sonic and Amy Rose back. Me=Nope.

[@dad7275]

I know the screen is a bit blurred with action but for playing Mega Drive / Genesis games I would highly recommend just picking up the old Sega Nomad. yes it is bulky but it's also original. good video. :-)

[@kraftypk7283]

I thought id seen everything... and you throw this out there... damn!

[@KillerZero259]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN!!!! GREAT, IN-DEPTH, VERY DETAILED REVIEWS!!!!!

[@greenknight9000]

is that...comic sans FOR THE FUCKING BUTTONS..?! OFFICIALLY LICENSED?! I'M FUCKING DONE

[@jemmyoti9602]

No way, i used to have this when i was a toddler. Im actually flabbergasted to see it appear up on here

[@bigboss-yv2nr]

I’m flabbergasted that u actually used the word flabbergasted

[@jemmyoti9602]

@@bigboss-yv2nr tbh, I am now as well

[@StompySan]

The music sounds like it should be in one of those Sonic Creepypasta videos. I won't be able to sleep tonight...

[@videogameobsession]

I wish these emulator devices would at least use higher quality emulators. Tommo stole a good one (Final Burn) with their Neo-Geo X device, but they flubbed up the settings. Interesting none the less. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheProductreviewsinc]

That high pitched menu music of Sonic 1 reminds me of the European Mega-CD music.

[@telefonkirtys]

I like how positive he is :D But even by sound I think d-pad should feel horrible :D

[@calebprenger3928]

i stated the video, saw "atgames" and left.

[@retrogamelord3763]

lol

[@atm959]

The sound sounded like the pitch was off... Like some Sega Genesis/Mega drive emulators sound.

[@sadisticgamerpodcast1186]

+atm959 !!! yes. its running on a sega/megadrive emulator.

[@morganb900]

+atm959 !!! I always noticed that with the AtGames stuff! I had a different Sega Genesis from AtGames and it had the same problem.

[@Gntaco120]

I think the sound chip was different from the original sega genesis/mega drive. All ATgames consoles do that.

[@pixelcat_yt]

Ironically, when free emulators are almost perfect, commercial emulators just leave things like that in. Meh.

[@EuanEchidhog]

Hi there Looks like someone beaten me to reviewing this device XD I bought it less than a year ago when the price of it was at £33 from Argos. Its a okay device, just not one to be taken seriously. The only sound distortion from the games that I noticed was Sonic 1, the sound of the music made me feel depressed XD Thought I saw a file on the system saying NES, so not sure if it means it can play NES games or not as I haven't checked. Great review on the device ^^ Keep it up! Euan

[@ZebbMassiv]

I'm looking for a mega drive console with the game " Centurion" . It's my friend's dad's favorite game and he plays it religiously every day. would be a nice gift if i can find it. he's in his 60's and wont put the game down.

[@memberberry6177]

ZebbMassiv Get a AtGames Gopher with SD support and put the rom on it yourself. You can get a nice or new one for about 10 bucks if you look around.

[@codenamegamma]

lol! if you look at the back, the picture of sonic 2, is actually the title screen from a fan game called Sonic 2 HD. thats just hilarious!

[@KevinTwiner]

hey that was a cool little device...thanks for the share

[@TheBladeJunker]

Strange yes but still not bad that sound emulation. I like it, I'd find it useful. I wonder why Sega doesn't make them, sure no more consoles but handhelds wouldn't be too risky to make hardware for. Thanks for the demonstration. :)

[@kevinbarton9052]

Perhaps this system should have all the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games so this should be more fun to play. 15 games is not enough these days.

[@null2846]

Green Hill Zone sounds like some kind of sonic creepypasta theme

[@FlintG]

Nice, I just recently added a few sega cd games. I got the psp 3001 model with custom firmware 6.60 lme 1.8 It is pretty cool that you can have the entire library in your pocket. I would have killed to have something like this back in the 90s lol.

[@BalloonFight]

This thing is really cool. Will be looking for this. :)

[@Emperix]

I saw ATGames and shuddered immediately. I've only had experience with the Mega Drive Player but that was more than enough for me.

[@HuntHerKillHer]

Those devices look tempting. I think they're quite cheap too. Can you put extra games on them or are you stuck with what you get?

[@knightni73]

Is there any way to mod better sound into something like this?

[@GreenJanuary]

a cool product indeed, i never knew it existed.

[@TheAbsorbant]

What Panasonic camera did you film this with?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

How many of these handhelds did they make 🤣 Thinking I found most of them WHahahahah 😆

[@chriss1168]

RetroGameTech if you purchase one of these systems with all the games on it that's a legal licensed product lets say from SEGA does each of those games count as a main copy allowing you to now legally own 1 rom copy of each of the digital copies that's placed on the system? Great Channel keep up the good work!

[@CryptidProductions]

Did you guys get a differnt model of the ATGames one? I live in the US and mine has 80 game (40 Genesis games and 40 "homebrew" games the company just through together), a SD card slot for additional games, and six face buttons. It's also black and blue instead of white.

[@booms101]

No

[@watcbd]

For a cheapy game it still looks so cool!

[@ArchaicStigma]

it must stretch the picture because Genesis games dont normally play in 320 wide. The AT one has an extra page of games it seems. Some of the games I emulate on my psp dont sound right. It will sometimes just be one sound like in Minish cap it was links sword.

[@Iceonfire73]

These were like £50 when they were new. I picked one up today which lets me run roms off the SD card, so I guess there were different models? Also the photos improve in quality if you go into the menu and increase the resolution

[@msh1044]

Still looks like a cool thing to give on someones birthday. The sound is quite bad but other then that it doesn't look that bad. I've surely seen worse clones.

[@owenfitzgerald3219]

A nice idea. A nice aesthetical presentation. A nice picture on the back and good ergonomic layout. Ironically though them putting it being for kids on it, what kids have these days would be of far higher quality. Also like said it's a poor video camera and a major deal breaker for me is the lack of emulator support. Thanks for the review.

[@Rotfuchsification]

That even goes for the adapter. For example you can see it on a Playstation 2 Slim.

[@robertgamingtechandmore6004]

SEGA? With a camera? Definitely meant for me.

[@diegoleao]

Generally you can put a "GAME" folder in your SD card and load games from there in these devices. Have you tried that?

[@theeraser6205]

whats the camera you used to record this video with , plus the mic cause the sound quality is descent

[@EhrisaiaOShannon]

It's adorable!! I'm gonna get one for my daughter instead of the Switch she wants! So she can throw it at my head. Lmiao.

[@kazxena]

Its actually quite a nice looking little hand held, its a shame you can't add roms though. Interesting.

[@superparkerbro]

sonic 2's box art looks like the sonic 2 hd early title screen

[@segadatabase]

Nice review!

[@eddyfinnemore271]

yeah imagine that!pull up in 92 and get your psp out with 100s of megadrive and snes games!you would be a god!lol.yeah im on 660 pro c 2 on a 2000 (couldnt be bothered with 1000 too many issues screen dpad etc.)I love my psp and over the last 3 years i havnt stopped playing it.A criminally underated console.

[@SamCampbell]

I too have heard about RGB Scart, however it's not very common here in North America. in fact, I've never seen a TV here with one.

[@MyDiabolicoTwin]

They could have the damn button layout right at least.

[@RetroGameTech]

@paulink 2009 I think and possibly a UK Argos exclusive. I couldn't find much info on it while searching. I did see similar devices with different branding though. I think it was also sold in Italy.

[@SpinTheDemon]

Way cool Ive been looking at these, I wish they would put a little bit more money into these handhelds they just feel so cheap for the most part. I have a bunch of the lil atgames/blaze/tectoy ones

[@strongmokus]

I think SCART it's only PAL, you can find it on all TVs in Europe. Those TVs that have SCART in North America, probably have PAL support too.

[@macg86]

This was probably sitting next to Elizabeth Duke on the shelf.

[@ProductionsHead]

Lucky bastards, you got Shenmue 2 and RGB Scart.

[@crunchinjelly]

The audio on these AtGames consoles are always terrible, although to be fair I don't think any emulator has got the Mega Drive sound right yet. Do you have one the Mega Drive Ultimate handhelds with SD support for ROMs?

[@ChrisLeeW00]

The music sounds pitched down.

[@stickytreason]

Christopher wootton But it sounds like that's only a problem on the Sonic one. Golden Axe sounds fine.

[@Redhotsmasher]

It's an AtGames product, their MD/Genesis clones are infamous for having some kind of error in the sound hardware making some games sound drunk (The S&K title screen song is a particularly striking example).

[@BrattierIce]

Not the at games gensis flashback

[@computerman789]

+Christopher wootton The video recording sounds pitched up, ironically.

[@eddyfinnemore271]

yeah same here i have over 500 megadrive games on mine and its awesome

[@sirprimalform5040]

It was invented in the 70s, but it was the best thing around until the advent of HD.

[@TeamJayniaK]

Hi do u have any interest in a boxed sega vision, proper sega europe branded complete package very rare

[@KidPrarchord95]

I have a handheld genisis/megadrive too. It dosnt have a camera or any other featurs like that, the sound emulation is even worse, but hey, 90 games!

[@MrDuffnote]

I have a device with the same gui but is able to play nes games if using the file browser. However the device I have doesn't have enough button to play the games properly.. This device might have enough buttons and the hidden software to play the 8bit games. Why don't you try it?

[@TheTjoconnor]

the first xbox 360's had RGB scrat. I remember plugging it into a rear projection TV

[@BrainSeepsOut]

My god, all the writing on the Camega is in Comic Sans...

[@paulmcnamara16]

Hey buddy I remember Sonic on the SAGA GAME GEAR sounds just like that did to me. It came with Mickey and the castle of illusion how about that as a blast from the past hey buddy. I loved that game gear but battery life was rubbish. Got many hours of fun (more at shop buying AAs though) from it till bought a gameboy not colour but lasted hours and that damned addictive TETRIS oh how easily pleased we were back then!

[@jimsyhammond]

Love your acsent!

[@nathanallan1]

Interesting device. AtGames makes some interesting stuff, just too bad the cheapie quality makes it bad for me. I have a few of their things and they're okay, love the Coleco handheld game, but their other devices leave a bit to be desired. Right, for hardcore collectors of odd electronics.

[@RetroGameTech]

@Domhazeproduction The copyright date on the manual states 2009.

[@shadowharu]

Oh my god man... your voice is like digital candy. Have you ever considered doing ASMR videos? I'd pay for that!

[@cremildealves]

Hello, I bought a set of these for my daughter. I wonder where I can download more games. In the manual doesn't say where to go get more games.

[@paulink]

It's funny because amy rose wasn't introduced until sonic cd. Regardless a very interesting find! I didn't see this when I was looking at genesis handhelds, how new is it?

[@TheGamerWithMore]

The Camega has 1 page missing. Where's page 4??

[@ikey1555]

that thing is pretty cool

[@HyperSonic1999orJTH]

that sounds exactly like the emulators on Saga Genesis if you don't change the sound quality

[@paulmcnamara16]

Hey dont know what dimension your from buddy but SCART sockets are on most AV equiptment upto at least two or three years ago theres one on the back of my 3yr old 40" Sony Bravia LED tv, dont use it use HDMI but its there and if Sony has it cant be too alien can it?

[@RyuHayabusa]

Hack a PSP and play anything you want.

[@RyuHayabusa]

shade231 I had the same issue with some Emulators on the PSP2000 series, but did a little research and found a very good Emulator that plays most of the games very well. In my opinion PSP1000 series is the best for Emulators, as the 2000 and 3000 series suffer a little playing Roms. Specially PSP3000. I was lucky enough to find a PSP3000 that could actually go in to Custom Firmware, but it sucks though as it still has issues playing games at 100% :( By the way, which Emulator are you using to play SNES Roms? The one I use is "SNES9xTYL".

[@RyuHayabusa]

shade231 LOL I agree with you man, it is not near the original console. But still gives a nostalgic feeling to play those games once again.

[@BADC0FFEE]

the best console for emulators was hands down the Gp2x Wiz. The second best is probably a PSP, and it's easier to find

[@NijiDash]

+TheWaveringRadiant Yup still using my PSP for emulating the good stuff, plus having a lot of native PSP games is great too!

[@ChalkTeacher]

I fail to see the relation between SCART and videogame knowledge. SCART isn't even well known and/or used worldwide, in fact, I learned about it around 2 years ago

[@riskvideos]

I wasn't aware toasters had blast processing.

[@coondogtheman]

the icon for Videos is the icon from Windows Media Player.

[@computerman789]

+coondogtheman1234 The photo icon looks similar to if not the same as the (older, not sure if it is the same now) photo icon on the Ipod Touch/maybe Iphone.

[@coondogtheman]

***** I'm an android guy. But I've seen and used iPhones, iPod touches and iPads so that looks about right. I actually have a cardboard insert of an iPod touch and it has a flower as the photo icon.

[@flashrocket9158]

Interesting. I've never heard of it.

[@N0rlight]

if it's official, what's with Sonic 2 hd image?

[@silver47official]

I want four of them

[@t0nito]

As with all atgames consoles the audio is in a different key...

[@the.real.Deano.]

That thing is actually bad ass for a clone Sega emulator machine, plays music and video and camera, and you can put more games on it via the SD card. I have the at get one you showed but the six button 85 game and bigger newer better screen model and, that thing looks like it is much better def better than that 18 game one you had that u was comparing it too. How could u say it is better when it has a less sharp screen less features and a smaller screen when everything else as far as software is the same. Doesn't seem like you have much sense comparing the two hell I'll buy it if you still have it and want to get rid of it( edit, didn't realize how old the video was lol still stand by the comment though haha 2011 )
