I mean the project is 1) absolutely unnecessary 2) absolutely complicated 3) can be accomplished by just jamming a 32X into a Genesis and 4) pretty damn fun and entertaining
If you aren't familiar with it, the Sega Neptune was a planned combo Genesis / 32X system that Sega planned on releasing before the Saturn in the 90s. Just incorporating both the Genesis and 32X hardware on the same PCB for a more compact system. But with Saturn basically ready to launch it was a console without an audience so Sega quietly killed the project and moved on
and in 2025 Cosam the Great, a modder and engineer decided...well we can recreate it! And they did
So the Neptune was delayed like three decades but hey...better late than never!
