To rob them of that speed is robbing them of what made them great in the first place. Sega games were always about performance. (If you look at user reviews of earlier iterations of these units on Amazon, you'll see a lot of similar complaints, too.) But these games aren't running as well as they should. We're getting all the old Sega games, with HDMI, no less, in one big compilation. There's a cruelty to the Sega Genesis Flashback. Sarah Tew/CNET Sega can do better than this Will people be bothered? Most of my coworkers, a pretty nitpicky bunch, weren't tremendously annoyed.

On the Flashback, graphics look crisp but frame rate feels consistently choppy. Games like Sonic were all about speed, smooth speed. The Genesis is fast! It's meant to scroll smoothly. And I played some of the amazing Sega Genesis ports available on the Nintendo 3DS under the "3D Classic" label - Sonic and Sonic 2 in particular. I played over and over again: not just with the Genesis Flashback, but side by side with an actual original Sega Genesis that a colleague brought into the office. I will probably not have the time to answer questions but I wrote quite exaustive readmes inside the package to explain each step better.All of the games felt plagued with slower frame rate and had audio that sometimes sounded crackly or choppy. The readme files are best readable with Metapad (wrap test option ON). It took me almost 2 weeks to achieve that result and it is nothing more than some "script-kiddie" stuff, feel free to modify and use it as you prefere.

The console is probably compatible with external USB flash drives but I need to test it (I miss the correct USB mini to USB female adapter). The console is based on Android 4.4.4 my unit has 4GB NAND but I saw some other units with 2GB only so be careful when flashing (read the included. txt for more information)ģ - the 3rd one is a folder where you can play with ADB and the console you can find some batch scripts and some shell script to see how the console works. The package with the 1st Custom ROM/Firmware for Mega Drive Flashback is ready !ġ - the 1st one provide a way to fully backup your console NAND to have a working recovery solution if something goes wrong.Ģ - the 2nd one is a pre-cooked firmware with RetroArch integrated it can be flashed as-is if your console NAND configuration is the same as the one provided
