The Analogue Mega Sg just got another firmware update, both for the jailbroken version, as well as the “official” firmware. Honestly though, there’s zero reason to use the official firmware; Even if you predominately use an Everdrive for Genesis and SMS ROMs, this jailbreak allows for Game Gear and Colecovision ROMs to be played as well!!!

That’s right, the software dev kit used to make all commercially […]
FirebrandX has just posted a view detailing exactly how he tweaks the video settings for the Mega Sg and all it’s cores. It’s a great video for people who want to learn why and how to do things like this… …but if you’d like to ‘skip to the end’, FBX posted the setting for each […]
The developer behind the awesome LCDMOD project has just announced a new project that allows you to use a zapper with PC emulators on a flat-screen TV! It requires a patched ROM and a way to interface the zapper to the computer but otherwise works similar to the NES version: The ROM calculates and auto-calibrates […]
Frank Strasser has just posted design files for an board that replaces the internal NES PCB with a custom one that connects to an SMS. This is an interesting idea for a few reasons: It’s a completely reversible #nocutmod that won’t damage your NES controller There are many high-quality 3rd party controllers you can add […]
