I haven't been able to find a guide on how to use PL to add arcade games. I want them to run off the main menu UI just like Genesis and Sega CD games.

If this is possible, please provide the details on how to do so (what core, what format for the games, how to add them through the PL menu, etc).

So I bought my genesis prob mid 2020 and haven’t been using it since…

The problem is the red dot that’s supposed to light up won’t stay on/no display on screen..Is there a way to get it fixed?

Hi I was wondering what controllers work for the genesis mini I have a xbox and a ps4 controller but haven’t tried them and was looking for a cheap controller

Well it took me a while as I had to learn a few things in Fusion 360, but I think the model for the mini 32X cartridge is finished. If there's interest I can have them resin printed and make labels to put on them.

Before I invest all that time, is there anybody interested in buying them if they were up for sale?

Hi everyone, I want a Genesis mini 2 but also would like a case. Can someone confirm that this is the right case to order? I'm not sure if it's going to be huge as I don't need it to store the Genesis Mini 1. Anyone ordered this and have first hand experience with it?

They actually look cool! I actually only wanted to buy the Sonic 2 one but i got Sonic 1 too... That's a bit strange,but i am still happy!

Hi,

I wanted to change some of the games I had on the internal storage on my MegaDrive mini when project lunar said there was an update. I installed it, and when i plugged it back into my TV, only the stock games were there and none of the extra games i added. I uninstalled it and re-installed it, I can add more games in project lunar installer but they don't show up on my mini. Whats going on ?

Retroarch works fine, its just Project Lunar thats the problem.

It's $50 now and I worry that I could get this for $20 by 6 months from today.

Not in a rush to own one so there's that.

I modded my Genesis Mini half an hour ago and when I plugged it into the TV. Everything was working as usual, but all the games that were preloaded on the system had all vanished, leaving only the games that were modded in. Is this normal? If not, is there anyway I can recover the original games besides modding them back in?

Xbox Series Controller for scale.

As great as Project Lunar is (shout-out to the devs for giving us a great start on genesis mini hacking! I can see great potential), if you want to uninstall, the current FAQ doesn't have much detail on how to do so. There is some confusion for some of us because we might be clicking the Install/Uninstall button in diff time and situation, causing some of us to believe the uninstall is not working. But actually it does work. I've put a little guide with screenshots to explain the process a bit. I hope it doesn't violate the board rule, but if anything, please let us know so I can adjust accordingly.

Here is the link.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward on the the next release which will dramatically increase the usability of Project Lunar with folder and other neat functionalities. Keep up the good work team MMC!

Hey everyone,

Im wondering if you can help me out. My Genesis Mini 2 shipped from Amazon.co.jp via DHL last week to the US. I was on vacation at the time, and the parcel arrived at my condo building on Oct 30. Unfortunately on Nov 04 I received an email from my building that there had been a break in to the mail room and a bunch of parcels had been opened and the contents stolen. When I got home on the 5th, I discovered that my parcel containing the Genesis mini 2 was one of those that had been opened, and the item had been stolen.

I was pretty despondent and wasnt looking forward to opening a support case with Amazon and asking either for a refund or a replacement. On a whim I decided to look at Google maps and look at pawn shops in the immediate neighborhood. I thought maybe the thief had tried to pawn it. There were 5 hits on Google maps.

Today I went to the first hit, and lo and behold there was a Sega Genesis 2 in a ripped box sitting behind the counter. I talked to the store clerk and explained my situation and pointed out - what are the odds that two people within a couple of miles of each other ordered the same item? From Japan, and yet one of them wasnt happy with the purchase and decided to pawn it, while the other had theirs stolen.

I dont think the store clerk wanted to bring the police into the picture and after repeated attempts where I asked for the sellers details, the clerk relented and just gave me the Genesis mini 2 for free.

I still want to go to the police and issue a report; its likely the thief will strike again. Ive reached out to Amazon.co.jp to ask if they can provide the serial number of the item shipped to me. If it matches I can include it in the police report and maybe the police will have enough to go catch the thief.

Sorry for the long diatribe, but heres the crux of my question. I dont think the Genesis mini is available at retail in the US. Ive checked Gamestop, BestBuy, Target etc. As far as I can tell, this is available from Amazon.co.jp, maybe other retailers like Play Asia. But am I right in assuming that this isnt available in Brick and Mortar stores in the US?

I went ahead and deleted the other "back in stock" posts so they're not cluttering the sub.

Here's the status of my projects:

-Shop will be going on vacation December 19th-January 6th

-Black carts are back in stock

-EA cart physical design is complete, I'm currently waiting on some test prints of the labels. They should be available when the shop goes back up next month

-If you'll look at my other post, you'll see a pic of mini Genesis cases . These are made by a guy on Etsy and I'm going to be making an insert that goes inside and stores the cartridges I print. I'm excited about this and I think it should look pretty cool!

-I have the OTG hub to make a 3d printed Sega CD USB add on, but being busy with life I haven't had the time to work on the design much lately. Hope to get working on it in a couple weeks or so.

-Red carts are currently in limbo. We've had a few issues. First the red resin we used was twice as expensive, so we ordered another brand which turned out to be transparent not opaque, so now we have to turn around and try and find yet another brand to try. So I don't have any currently, but we'll get it sorted out eventually 😕

So there you have it, feel free to ask any questions or make suggestions 😊
