What I mean by this is summed up by three criteria:
1 they have to be visually impressive (compared to other md games, not compared to nes lol)
2 be fun to play
3 be innovative (monster world 4, comix zone, mickey mania, treasure etc).

Earthworm jim, sonic, Bare Knuckle/SOF and the other obvious choices aren't even half as good looking as most of the games on this list (IMHO) and I'm really not...

I tried to find such a list on the Internet without succes, as you can imagine from someone that doesn't speak japanese at all. And knowing how Google translates japanese into latin languages...
So I thought I should request some...

Chilly Willy over on Sonic Retro gave me this file after talking about a rotating Sonic model test whose source code is in it. I'm sure some of you know about it but this is the first time a HTTP mirror of it has been known to exist. So yeah, enjoy. There's some cool Saturn stuff here too.

Working with the guys over at Randomised Gaming we have been able to now do an almost complete hz list. (missing three at this point)

So if you ever wondered if your PAL copy of Virtual On or Mr. Bones will work on your Japanese Saturn at 60hz or what games you can get the best performance out on a PAL mofified machine...

On further inspection the right channel audio was perfect, dynamic, and clear. The left sounded really muffled and distorted. I double checked to make sure it wasn't my speakers or the cable itself...

The project uses Atmel AVR microcontrollers and adds the In-Game-Reset function which is really useful for flashcart users , in fact that's how I found about MegaDrive++ :)

So what are the features?

I have a Sega Genesis Model 1 connected to a Sega CD Model 2. When I first got the Sega CD (20 years ago), it worked fine for 8 months, then the access light would randomly turn off while playing a game, generally at the end of an audio track -- usually sonic cd, ecco, or lunar 1 would do this. After the light went out, the unit would stop reading from the CD drive altogether. I sent the thing back to sega since it...

I recently bought a Sega TeraDrive Model 3, but since i live in Europe, i need to use a stepdown converter to power the unit (230v->110v).

Up till now i tried two stepdown converters, but the system doesn't want to power on. I think it has to do with the amount of watts it's being fed. I tried a 45 watt and 75 watt stepdown converter, but no luck. Ofcourse this is sufficient when powering consoles like the Megadrive etc, but i guess a home PC needs more.

Do i need a higher watt to...
