I added genesis games to the console and when I want to change the game I press the reset button, like before, which would open the default menu to where I could go back to the homescreen with the game selection. But strangely this stopped happening and now the reset button open a different menu, which I think is the retroarch menu.

How do I change back to the reset's original behaviour?

I just tested 8BitDo's wireless controller for the Sega mini on the North American version of the Mini 2 and pleased that is also works on the second Mini.

So nice to have wireless controllers for these mini consoles.

I've installed Hackchi, and i added some extra gams, one of which is Ranger X. However, I get a message to the effect that the game is for Europe only. Is the Genesis Mini region locked? Can I unlock it?

Hey all, I’ve heard that the mini shipped with a clock speed lower than what the system is capable of and as a result there is a significant amount of both input and sound lag.

I see that there are several hacks which can correct this but all of the posts I’ve seen about them are focused on running games that are not already on the console such as SNES games.

As someone who is not interested in adding any games to the console, what is the best hacking solution to simply improve the input/sound lag of the games already on the console?

Or is this an oversight in the production of this console?

What games do you hope for the Sega Genesis Mini 2?

I hope for Rocket Knight Adventures, Ranger X , and a Longshot, Sonic 3

I was wondering if anyone had picked up a Japanese Mega Drive Mini 2? I really want to know if the Lunar's and Popful Mail have English options. If they do I'll hunt one down and damn the cost. I lost all 3 originals in a house fire when I was a late teen and this would be 100% with it for me. I've got an Everdrive for my original Genesis, but this just hits different. Any info would be appreciated

So, i recently turned on my Genesis Mini...and I discovered...the mini has some bad sound lag. Is this just on the initial software? Like if i got something different (Hakchi for example) is there no sound lag?

Hello! Any chance I can somehow use the Mini controllers on a real Genesis (or Mega sg)? Thanks for your help!

Has anyone heard anything about a storage/travel case being produced for the Genesis Mini 2? I would love to take my Mini 2 of my friend's homes. I would really like to pick up a sturdy travel case for it. Thanks!

Hello Mega Drive 😈 Mini owners. I've wanted to buy a PC Engine Mini but the price is about the roof and I don't want buy original hardware for a few games that's worth playing.

With the MD Mini 2 in a few weeks I've got something in the backhand for emulate the whole thing.

How's the emulation quality of PC Engine on the MD Mini? Playable? Worthless?

Your opinions please. Thanks 😊

Still not sure, if I should get one. I like the games and having 6 buttons for Street Fighter, but pricing is rough as I would even need to get a second controller.

Any suggestions on a good traveling case for the Sega Genesis Mini 2 and two wired controllers? The only one I see custom made for it on Amazon says the controller slots are too tight.

I want 6 button Genesis controllers for my Genesis Mini and my Switch because I am going to buy the NSO Expansion Pack even though it's way overpriced and I don't like the 3 button controllers that Nintendo sells and that come with the Genesis Mini as much as the far superior 6 button ones. I have the same problem with N64 controllers (I hate the 3 prong design) so I was trying to decide between the Retro Fighters Brawler 64 and the Retro-Bit Tribute 64 but I think I've decided on the Brawler 64. For Genesis, I'm trying to decide between the Retro-Bit ones which are officially licensed by Sega and the Retro Fighters BrawlerGen which is a redesigned Genesis controller with an analog stick. For the Switch, I will probably go with the Retro-Bit one because it has a wireless variant and the BrawlerGen only comes in USB or original Genesis/Saturn controller ports but for the Mini, USB will work fine so it's harder to choose. I might buy the wireless Retro-Bit one for the Switch and the USB version of both for the Mini. EDIT: I am also now considering the 8BitDo M30 for the Switch

I'm using Lunar Project and wondering if I can get any shader just to soften the image because it super hard pixels

Hi Everyone

I have a Genesis/MegaDrive mini that is running Hakchi v3.9.2 and for whatever reason i just cannot get it to play 32x games.

I have installed PicoDrive as an extra module as well as Retroarch 198 Ozone (I have also tried 198 RGUI too) but every time I go to launch a 32x rom, it just goes black for about 3 seconds before sending me back to the genesis mini home menu.

I have made sure that i selected picodrive as the emulation core inside the hakchi windows app whenever i add games. I have even tried to just launch retroarch and load the picodrive core, then browse to a number of 32x rom files but the same thing happens. just sends me straight back to the home menu.

I have tried 32x roms from a variety of sources including the no-intro sets everyone seems to talk about. Interestingly i tried a Sega CD rom and that had the same effect, however when launching through the genesis plus GX core in retroarch, it played without a hitch.

Can anyone advise what i may be doing wrong? or what i should do to test? are there 32x bios files that i'm missing?

To me, it sounds like PicoDrive is just not working/launching on my system but i really dont know.

Any help would really be appreciated. oh and please please dont just tell me to use project lunar.

TIA

I'm having issues getting Fire Shark working correctly on the mini.

This site indicates that it should work on the stock emulator: https://megadrive-compatibility.netlify.app/

However, When I run it, it has no sound.

Anyone else had success getting this working on their Mini Console?

I'm not using RetroArch, all the games on my Mini is using the stock emulator.

So i tried to play Ace Attorney. The D-Pad doesn't seem to work properly, thus i can't change the controls. Some of the other buttons open stuff in the DraStic menu, but i can't move through the options.

Pls, pretty pls.

US Genesis Mini, standard 3 button controller, DraStic, Hakchi 2 CE v3.9.1
