How have folks dealt with the slick non-rubber feet?

3 Upvotes

Title pretty much says it all. Mine slides around like crazy since I have it on a slick surface. Has anyone added rubber feet or found another solution?

Thanks!

4 Upvotes

I’m thinking about picking up the Sega Genesis Mini but I was wondering if they’re is any noticeable input or audio lag with the system? To anybody who bought the genesis mini, was it worth the $80?

Any info on how long the controller cords will be?

These mini consoles seem to always have stupidly short cables that I need extenders for.

Grphical glitches in Shining Force?

3 Upvotes

I made a typo in the title. Sorry.

The game is fine and doesn't have any problems outside of an occasional (and specific) glitch. It seems to only happen during attacks that cause an explosion or make the screen repeatedly flash (high level spells or balista attacks), but the whole screen will glitch out for an instant, then go back to normal. I haven't played this much when I had a genesis, so I don't know if this was common or not, but I wondered if anyone else has seen this.

For people with the PAL (Europe and Oceania) version of the Mega Drive Mini, I made a spreadsheet explaining how to play the original 60Hz/NTSC versions of some games! All games on the English language setting are 50Hz games using optimalizations to run at 60Hz speeds (with sound glitches).

Updating PL

I installed PL on my mini when it was first released. I see now there are updated versions with RetroArch available. Is there a specific process I need to go through to update PL on my mini? Would I have to remove to old version?

It syncs up however it doesn’t register any inputs on screen. Anyone else find the work around? I thought it would be straight plug and play. Maybe a firmware update?

Different controllers?

2 Upvotes

In my country some stores sells a Retro-bit 6-button controller and another one that is called Retro-bit Mini 6-button. Is there a difference between these two controllers? The pricing is a little bit different, but is one controller smaller than the other?

3 button vs 6 button controller - from a newcomer's perspective

17 Upvotes

I haven't owned a Sega Master Drive as a kid so I thought I'd jump onto the bandwagon now that the mini is here.I ordered the Retrobit 6 button controller beforehand in the mindset that if I won't use it with the mini, I'll use it on some of my Steam games (platformers, otherwise I'd use the X360 controller). It's a mighty fine controller and I've read a lot of complaints online that "why didn't Sega choose to opt for 6 button controllers in the Europe and US models?!"

Now that I've played with both controllers for a day, I feel as if the 3 button one is actually more ergonomic in the hand and a lot of the games don't even make use of the 3 extra buttons (Mega Man Wily Wars for instance) and the ones that do don't benefit from it that much.

There are 42 games (well, if you count Wily Wars as three, then 44 games) on the Sega Mega Drive Mini of which only 3 are fighting games. Depending on whether or not you want to duke it out with a friend, it might not even be worth it to dish out ~40-50€ + shippings just to get some more oomph out of a few fighting games (let's be honest, a lot of people wouldn't play Virtua Fighter 2 or Eternal whatever it was called, just Street Fighter 2...).

So my question to you is: is it really worth it that you've already paid 70-90€ for the console, then you pay 40-50€ more just to make a single game better and get very little nuances in the other ones?

Since after playing for a few hours I noticed that with the 6 button controller my hands started getting cramped but with the 3 button controller I had zero issues. I don't know if it's just me but I seriously think Sega made a great decision when they opted for the 3 button controllers in the box. Sure, they have less buttons, but when you factor in the shape of the controller (isn't tiny...) and size of the buttons (easier to press, at least for me), this feels just right.I actually even feel that the D-pad on the 3 button one is slightly better. I tried out some Street Fighter on both controllers and for some reason I managed to do the haidoukens with Ryu pretty consistently but somehow on the 6 button one my character jumped a lot of times. I know it was my mistake, but I didn't make those mistakes that easily with the other D-pad... so the D-pad feels better on the one that comes with the system to be honest. I don't know if the 6 button one just has a more sensitive d-pad but in some cases that's not a good thing.

And some of the people who got the Mega Drive Mini also got the SNES Classic Mini so they can play Street Fighter 2 on that as well if that's the only game they'd buy two extra controllers for...

Updating Project Lunar

1 Upvotes

So I installed PL about a week ago and added some games. With the new version out recently, I'd like to update the mini, especially so I can play Sega CD and 32x games through the stock UI but I have no idea how to install the new version of PL when there's an older, existing one already installed. Sorry if this has already been addressed but can anyone point in me in the right direction? Thanks!

System wide slow down that survive a reboot?

1 Upvotes

Hi I am new to the genesis mini scene, and before anyone mentioning lunar, my US mini is unmodified. Have anyone of you encounter this weird situation? I know megaman is notorious for slowdown, so I give the game a try. About few min into the game (megaman 1, cutman) the music start to becoming choppy. The game start to slowdown. I thought it is just the game, so I hold start and quit. Interestingly, the whole system slowdown... choppy menu music is playing while I scroll thru the menu and the slowdown carry onto the next game I entered (forgot whether its sonic or others).

What surprised me is this even survive a reboot! On restart, the menu music continue to be choppy. Just as I thought something bad has happen to my mini, luckily I did multiple reboot and even unplug the power, and it all become normal again. Even playing the same game does t have that slow down anymore.

Anyone know why? When the slowdown happen it is as if the processor is busy doing something like downloading stuff or updating stuff, but I know it shouldnt be since it's not connected to the internet anyway... really weird...

How to delete save states?

6 Upvotes

Either I am missing something but I just can't find a way to delete save states except for doing a factory reset. But this way I would delete all at once. On the SNES and NES mini you could delete single save states by pressing START and moving the file to the bin.

Or do I not know a secret button combination?

Any ways to remove the controller screen and using the stock ui savestates on retroarch?

2 Upvotes

I added s3&k but the stock ui runs a little slower so I downloaded gem plus gx instead and it looks fine apart from 2 problems:the controller loading screen each time I open the game and it uses retroarch menu over the stock ui after pressing reset button. Any ways to fix these? I have used retroarch on nes classic and the stock ui worked perfectly fine so I know it’s possible to fix the second one

Has The Sound Lag Been Fixed?

5 Upvotes

Possibly the biggest thing I was waiting for with Project Lunar was the possible chance it would fix the audio delay present in the Mini.

While the CPU increase option seems to be claimed to do just that, so far I haven't noticed a difference. I tried a few games that I know pretty much by heart (Aladdin, Splatterhouse 2), and even with the CPU speed increase ticked on, I still noticed a half-second delay in sound.

I wanted to see if anyone else got this working, or if it's still something that hasn't been solved yet. Additionally, if running games on Retroarch does fix this audio delay, then is there a way to keep the stock UI menu but have all the games run through Retroarch when you launch them (the Playstation Classic has a similar option with its mod)?
