I've seen that some folks with a V6 also have to do the reset thing. I'm hoping it just runs on mine with no issues... I've got a V6.
I have a non-TMSS model 1 Sega Genesis with a 32x and Model 2 Sega CD attached.
I had to do the reset workaround to get Pier Solar to play. So having a 32x does diddly for that particular problem. It seemed to work just fine after reset, though. You might have been boned, Irish?

Vasum/Dando was never released, no. It was being developed at Aicom and directed byTokuhiro Takemori (director of Legendary Axe for TG16 and Astyanax for arcade/NES) but was cancelled when Takemori left the company.

Latest Game Sack talks about a Mega Drive gem--Monster World IV.
The entire episode focuses on Female Protags, which Monster World IV famously switched to.

Has anyone gave the Project Y Sampler a listen?

I really hope this is what the soundtrack will sound like on a Mega Drive! Some of the tracks sound awesome! The 2nd & 3rd songs on the sampler are stuck in my head! I hope they release it on a OST CD!
Really hyped for the game. I hope it lives up to its expectations!

eh, possibly? honestly i'd wanted to leave my 32X plugged in alla time but given it's current issues with my Mega ED it's not happening at the moment anyway. might try hooking it up on a TMSS unit someday just for the easter egg item but no real loss otherwise

The video was a bit insipid overall but good for them for mentioning this gem (and Phantasy Star!). And lol @ the Anita bashing in the comments. These people are so goddamn obsessed.Latest Game Sack talks about a Mega Drive gem--Monster World IV.

I really, really hate the platforming in those games, these games are not built for it, lol, but they are good games, yes.

Yes. It platforming sucks. It's the reason I can't beat either.
I'd been having issues with getting games to load on my model 1 Sega CD, but after thoroughly cleaning the contacts between it and the Genesis, games are loading just fine. Now, though, I'm having issues with FMV sequences--oftentimes, they'll pause for a few seconds, then resume, then pause again, etc. It's like the system is having trouble loading the whole FMV. I'm otherwise not experiencing any problems.
Anyone have an idea what the issue might be?

Pier solar was fun to open. Lots of little pieces of paper and stuff. Not a fan of the postcards that are too wide to be stored in the box, though.
And of course I'm affected by the black screen reset to start crap. But at least it runs. The enhanced soundtrack CD is as awesome as expected. The dialogue in the game is unexpectedly terrible. I didn't think I was sensitive to that, but yikes.
Also I bought a stupid amount of crap lately. Most of it Japanese versions of games I already own. I'm not sure why I did that. When am I ever going to play Landstalker in Japanese? Never, that's when.

Yeh, I was thinking of picking up another copy but that put me off to be honest.

Absolutely! They are, if nothing else, very pretty to look at.
And now the two Japanese games I already had won't be so lonely anymore.

Hmm. Maybe I should pick this up before I forget and have to pay reseller prices.
I looked into that site, but I found better rates from the guy that does it on the Sega ages forum. Not sure if he's still doing them. I got Pulseman, Alien Solider and Wily Wars for myself about two years ago for less than 100 with shipping.
I'm at just under 100 Genesis titles (including the repros above, and modern releases like Pier Solar/Legend of Wukong). I'd like to get something holy grail worthy to celebrate.

Have you played Beggar Prince? IMO it wasn't that great.
Oh, okay. As far as reproduction cartridges are concerned, which place should I look up to get a copy of Pulseman?
IrishNinja
Member
yeah i guess i should try it out, gamesack wasn't huge on it either...concept seemed interesting though
i'm at least a decade or two past finishing mediocre RPG's though

Finally got a copy of Tant-R coming. Its like early Warioware, and also based in the Bonanza Bros. universe, because that exists.

I have the Sega Ages version, but TBH I never loaded it up. It's in a combo disc with Bonanza Bros., which is what I actually bought it for.
IrishNinja

according to Mzo, i'm one of the few Bonanza Bros fans in existence somehow so this is highly relevant to my interests

Well it's a Chinese unlicensed game from 20 years ago, the novelty was that it was translated and published at a time when nobody expected a Megadrive release. It was the first new release I believe, which is why it was hyped. If it were published today I'm not sure it would get so much attention. Still, you have to applaud the efforts of Super Fighter Team to put it all together.
What do you guys think are good homebrew, stuff that would be worthy of a cartridge edition, yet hasn't seen a physical release?
But dat crotch.
I caved and ordered one. I remember getting the email last year (or the one before?) and I laughed that they wanted us to wait until "2016." It's crazy, but I figure that I might as well get a copy while I can and try it out.
I'm not sure if other members can chime in with more details, but I believe I got mine from this guy: http://segaage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=1&catid=43&threadid=114660
I got some interesting finds today. I had a friend moving out of town and he gave me his 32X (the only Genesis add on I don't have) with Doom and Star Wars Arcade. He also had both a model one and two genesis which I picked up along with NHL 95, 96 and Sword of Sodan. Not the greatest games but it was nice to get some cool 32X stuff. He also had a NES and SNES with F-Zero and Rocketeer which is now mine! Lastly, got a GBA SP with Pokemon Fire Red. Good haul!
I now have two model ones, two models twos (including one of each model compete in box), and two Sega CDs both model two, one with box. Might be time to clean up and offload the loose units.

How Tant-R never got localized for the US astounds me. There's only one minigame that even really requires knowledge of any language.
Gunstarheroes

This is where i got mine, and also the place i work for now. So yeah, let me make you one!
Also, yeah, i have no idea how Tant-R never got localized, but i guess you can say that for quite a few games.

Oh, don't get me wrong...I'm glad SFT ported it. It opened the door to Legend of Wukong and Star Odyssey. Also, I'll always take more games over less games, and I'm sure there are people who [might if they played it] absolutely loved it. It looks really good and plays fine. i just don't think it was that great a game to buy a full copy vs giving SFT money for the download version unless you absolutely want to have a physical copy.

MK-1653 is my favorite genesis controller.
Region locking controllers is a really uncommon practice. Off the top of my head I can only think of TG16 pads not being compatible with PCE, and the WiiU Gamepad being region locked at the firmware level.

Unfortuntately, the 6-button stick I have is the North American version with rubber contacts.
I don't know if the SJ-6000 has a microswitched lever, but I know the 3-button JP variant does.

Yeah, it's the same type of mechanism in arcade panels.
The rubber alternative are quieter, but cheaper to manufacture and less responsive.
