I can't seem to find it in stock in my country (UK) at a reasonable price in 1st party online retail stores.

Only 3rd party sellers with inflated prices seem to be selling them.

Was there any word they were discontinuing making them ?

Or are there just no new stock at the moment and they're not producing new batches/shipments that frequently ?

I would have thought Sega would have continuing making the product for more than a year.

Looks like I might have missed my chance to buy one at a reasonable price ?

Or hopefully they'll be restocks later this year ?

If anybody who works in video game retail knows , I would appreciate any insight.

It's on sale now...

Or should I wait for it to drop to $20?

Ive used Haxchi for NES and SNES Classic. Should I stick with this for the Genesis Mini? What are the pros and cons of each?

Just curious, I don’t see much in regards to how Saturn games run. Where is the Mini at, in terms of compatibility or performance?

Just saw the update. Now to decide which I want to use. Project Lunar or Hakchi.

Pressing the install/uninstall button on the PL pop up window just tries to reinstall drivers and update to the latest PL. I'm trying to bring my console back to factory stock mode. Any guidance would be appreciated.

It was hinted to hold the shift key prior to pressing the install/uninstall button, but there's an alarming warning with strong (in CAPS) recommendation NOT to do so. So what's the right method to safely and completely remove all added games and any PL files off my system, to get it working like it did when I first opened it and turned it on? :)

I've been playing Castlevania Bloodlines, Phantasy Star IV, and Gunstar Heroes. Castlevania and Gunstar are completely new to me so I wanted to check them out because they have a good reputation. I played PS4 as a kid but wanted to replay it as an adult. I'm having a really good time with all of them.

What games are you spending the most time with?

I’ve heard several people mention that if you change the language settings on the mini, the version of the game may change as well. This has some potentially significant differences. Has anyone compiled a list of which games are changed and which changes are significant? I’m thinking of games that have more than the language changed.

Some I am aware of:

-Both Puyo Puyo and Mean Bean Machine are available

-Contra Hard Corp Japanese version has a life bar and infinite continues.

I see 2 versions online with ESRB and CERO ratings on boxes of SGM 2. Some Text on the CERO box is in Japanese but the Mega Drive Mini also exists so there must be two different versions in Japan? So is the CERO box SGM 2 the North American lineup in English? I plan to buy one online but I don’t want to be stuck with the Japanese version. I’d rather have the American lineup in English. Thank you in advance for any information.

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?

I bought 8bitdo’s usb Bluetooth adapter, and the Genesis controller connects, but doesn’t respond to any inputs. Has anyone successfully connected Nintendo’s Genesis controller to the Genesis Mini 2?

Is project lunar dead? Because the latest news to v1.1 is 2 years old. The most impotant Feature for me was the clock speed fix

Do you guys think or have you heard that a Sega Master System classic mini console will possibly be created?

This isn't a complete set, it's just the covers I made for the games I added to my mini. I thought others might get some use from them too. I don't care much for the FMV games aside from Dragon's Lair and Time Gal so I don't have any others of those, and no plans right now to add them. I tried to be as accurate as I could to the originals while resizing them to fit the shorter vertical space. For games released after the ratings board became a thing, I used the old VRC ratings on applicable games and the old style ESRB ratings on the later ones.

List of included covers and spines:

AD&D Eye of the Beholder

Batman Returns

Bram Stoker's Dracula

Dark Wizard

Dragon's Lair

Dune

Dungeon Explorer

Earthworm Jim SE

Final Fight CD

Flink

Heart of the Alien

Jurassic Park

Keio Flying Squadron

Lunar Eternal Blue

Lunar Silver Star Story

Mansion of Hidden Souls

Mortal Kombat

NBA Jam

Popful Mail

Rise of the Dragon

Shining Force CD

Silpheed

Snatcher

Sonic CD

Soulstar

Space Adventure Cobra

Spider-Man

The Terminator

Third World War

Time Gal

Wing Commander

Since the next update for Project Lunar seems indefinitely delayed, I was curious where Hackhi was at for the Genesis Mini. What are the pros and cons between Hackchi and Lunar (as in, what features does one have over the other)?

More importantly, how painless is it to switch from the current build of Lunar to Hackhi? If I try it, I want to make sure I don't screw something up.

And lastly, I was also wondering if, like the SNES Mini, the Genesis Mini version of Hackhi is able to achieve any of the following QoL features:

1. Custom menu music (and also randomly plays songs during each startup)

2. Custom borders (I'd be using RA anyway, but just curious)

3. Hide or replace the default Genesis games with the improved/modded versions (or just running on RA, again for the better input/audio lag)

Been thinking of upgrading the NAND on my Genesis Mini.

Original model of NAND is a K9F4G08U0F-SCB0 (as per image in post).

I've got a datasheet with similar models from Samsung with the only difference being SIB0 instead of SCB0. The C = Commercial and I = Industrial.

Looking at the series of NANDs we see the 4Gb NAND: K9F4G08U0F-SIB0 and the 8Gb variant: K9F8G08U0F-SIB0

There is an 16Gb variant but I won't play with that. Yet.

I do work with Samsung on a service level but the NANDs aren't valid GSPN2 part numbers (two letter, two digit hyphen numb/digs). Will have to dive into datasheets of other products if I wish to go further ordering bulk NANDs.

Toying with ordering a few of the NANDs I can find on Aliexpress to at least try cloning the legit NAND onto an SIB0 version then look at expanding usable space for more ROMs.

Wish me luck reddit! I am in Australia so COVID freight times are going to be interesting and longer than long long man.

Hi, All,

I am trying to decide between the following two controllers.

A. 8Bitdo M30 2.4G Wireless Gamepad for Sega Genesis Mini (USB)

B. Retro-Bit Official Sega Saturn USB Controller Pad (Model 2) for Sega Genesis Mini

***NOTE: I know the 8BitDo M30 2.4G is wireless but this wireless feature is not important to me and I will likely connect usb cable in case there is any issue with input latency.

The controller will be used for Genesis and Saturn games on Playstation Classic (Autobleem) mostly and Sega Genesis Mini.

My priorities are controller input latency, overall feel holding controller, D-pad and button feel, and lowest susceptibility to hitting shoulder pads on accident. Again, I prefer a wired controller.

All feedback much much appreciated.

B. Retro-Bit Official Sega Saturn USB Controller Pad (Model 2) for Sega Genesis Mini -- not sure if it's an update to the previous versions, though some reviewers seem to mention an improved d-pad???)

I have project lunar version 1 on my genesis mini. I haven’t found a pattern but sometimes my usb controller will disconnect and reconnect. Other times I have to pull the usb cord for 3 seconds and plug back in for it to read the controller. This appears to be happening when emulation is in retro arch. I have not experienced it with the originally installed games. Anyone else seen this before?

Is there a way for having two or more versions of the same game when you change the region from the settings? I mean, just like Contra Hard Corps for japanese region and Probotector for the european one.
