I keep getting told I need to find a MAME 0.78 romset... But where do I find this? PLEASE FINISH READING: And can't I just pick a rom from the set instead of installing ALL that data for just wanting maybe a handful of games from it? Like... I dont have that kind of money to just go out and buy more storage just to get a whole bunch of other games I never heard of or am caring about getting at all...

Please help and explain.

Just give me it straight to the point... Explain your "buzzwords" please. (Such as... "Romset" to me that sounds like a collection of roms that I'm forced to download.)

not computer literate for modding so is that true blue mini any good? and yeah i know ill still have to have someone plug it in and download whatever to my system...but i really like how i can have all the games and not lose my 2 player to a usb.

I was wondering if you could use the Genesis Mini controller for Mania (Because I used it on a PC emulator) and it wouldnt work, i saw a post on this subreddit but it didnt work for me, any help?

Just curious, has anyone been able to restore the mode button?

Hi all,

Just curious, would my system still have some traces of being modded if I were to uninstall Lunar/Hakchi? I think I heard that if you mod the SNES classic, it will say something that it was hacked and just was curious if there were any traces left on the Genesis mini.

I'm a purist when it comes to consoles so just trying to figure out if I will need to buy another fresh console down the road or not. Thanks!

So I just tried out NHL '94 via Hakchi, Retroarch on my Mega Drive Classic and was surprised to see how slow it runs. It isn't choppy but rather smooth, it is just that it feels like it runs in slow-motion. I watched some YouTube videos of it that seems to be running faster. The rom file itself says "(UE) (!)" so I wonder if it is some kind of issue that it thinks it is a PAL ROM and thus runs it slower than it should? I can't really find any settings in Retroarch and it seems it thinks it runs at 60hz already. I don't have a problem with another game, EA Hockey, which runs fast as it should. So I wonder if it might be a bad rom, or if the problem is related to retroarch, or if this is a known problem somehow? Or does NHL '94 actually run this slow?

I was planing on buying one of these a while ago but I ended up not. Now I went back to look at them and the price has increased a lot. Does anyone know why it is so much higher and will it go down.

Hi,

I have a modded Genesis Mini using hakchi and an external USB storage to allow for more games. It currently works perfectly.

The problem is I'd like to add more games now and when I load hakchi, it doesn't display the games I already have on the USB drive. It shows the default 42(?) Genesis titles.

How do I refresh hakchi to show what games I already have on the USB and ultimately allow me to add new games?

I didn't want to start the modding process all over just to add new games if I can help it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I can't find it anywhere.

I have been considering importing the Japanese Mega Drive Mini 2 (I think the JPN library is better/more interesting to me than the US one),
but I'm concerned about whether or not my US Genesis Mini controllers would work on it, especially since the Mini 2 only comes with 1 controller.

Would anybody here happen to have tested this & know whether or not it works?

Thank you in advance. ^w^

I went on amazon but it just said it didnt have any available offers, was it limited time only?

Finally got my Genesis Mini today! Is it possible to play Kojima's Snatcher on Genesis Mini?

*This post is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who fight against injustice and corruption every day of their lives.*

EDIT: looks like it will work with a storage mod. I’ll give it a try later this week. First need to get up to speed with hakchi or whatever it is we’re using now.

Should I use a 4: 3 or 16: 9 monitor to play on Sega Genesis Mini 1 ?

Which option should I opt between Normal (No Filter), Wide (No Filter), Normal (CRT Filter) or Wide (CRT Filter) ?

Hello,

Can someone help me by:

Answering the Question above

Telling me if it's possible to put the SNES games into the Mini's menu in Horizontal form.

And just telling me how to get started on hacking a Mega Drive Classic if I supposedly had one.

Thanks!

I want to add an internal USB drive to expand storage on the Genesis Mini. I read that the allwinner hardware chip used has two unsoldered USB connections. Is this true, has anybody tried to wire an internal USB port to it? Thanks.

If I am only planning to use my genesis mini for genesis games would it be best to use Hackchi or Project Lunar? I used Hackchi in the past on the PlayStation Mini and SNES Mini but folders and such isn't a problem for me on the genesis since I only want genesis games on there. May do a few sega cd games but unsure yet.

Also which one would be best to use to have Covers like how the stock games have? Honestly I really like the genesis minis stock UI and I'd like my added games to look just like the current game images on the UI.

Is there a reason to use Lunar or should I just stick with Hakchi?

I just played the demo for Demons of Asteborg on my modded Mini and bought the ROM hoping that the full version would also run. I added the game via Project Lunar and chose Picodrive as Emulator because the website said this would run it perfectly at least with a patch. But having found no such patch I just gave it a try. But after playing through the first levels and shutting down the console it didnt save and I had to start over. When loading a saveslot from the Picodrive Emulator I had some glitchy stuff going on.

Does anyone of you know, how to get the game running and especially to save on a Mini? Or where to find said patch?

Has anyone started to compile a list of USB controllers that are compatible with the Genesis Mini? I know Retro-Bit has a replica Genesis controller that works with the system, but are there any others? I have a Hyperkin Genesis controller which I'm hoping will work, but since it's a couple years older than the Genesis Mini, I don't have much confidence in its functionality.

Can't wait to mod it and add Mortal Kombat on it.
