Title: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: benizioni on July 18, 2008, 09:04:54 AM A hand held portable megadrive! oh the memories, awesome lol!
http://www.segaretro.net has anyone got one of these? Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: logical123 on July 18, 2008, 09:10:34 AM Well... It is kinda cool, but I don't think you can play actuall cart games on it. There are 20 build in. If you like console modding, check out http://benheck.com/
He makes handheld everythings, from atari to sega to nintendo! You name it! He even made a handheld sega dreamcast!! Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: James on July 18, 2008, 09:14:47 AM It's not a good idea to put a link up as your first post. It makes it look very much like spam. >:(
Maybe *cough* "they" should do a bit of research before making adverts saying "World's first Sega Mega Drive handheld console". The Nomad was around a long time ago.

Post by: James on July 18, 2008, 09:27:47 AM Perhaps t'internet has made me overly cynical. But people making a first post linking to a product for sale seems dodgy. The website was created less than a month ago and the video was added to Youtube two days ago.
I heard of the console quite a while ago now. I think they're made in Brazil. It might have been on Engadget. Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: benizioni on July 18, 2008, 09:56:17 AM i aint spamming, just thought you would be interested, I think its cool anyway.

The Nomad was around a long time ago. Actually, they're right in a way... the Nomad was never released outside of the US, where we had the Genesis. So technically there hasn't been a handheld Megadrive, only a handheld Genesis.Of course, I seem to recall seeing a Russian knock-off handheld a long time ago, and we've had a lot of homebrew handhelds playing Genesis games on emulation, so I think they're a bit behind.

It's awful pricey for a knock-off clone. Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: benizioni on July 18, 2008, 10:02:02 AM hmmm not too bad for the amount of games i dont think, has anyone got one or used one cos it looks awesome

Post by: Tan on July 18, 2008, 10:09:46 AM hmmm not too bad for the amount of games i dont think, has anyone got one or used one cos it looks awesome The reviews from Play-Asia pretty much say it all:http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-8y-49-en-70-2f9m.html Here's the Russian one: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmdport.ru%2Fabout2%2F&lp=ru_en&btnTrUrl=Translate http://mdport.ru/games/ Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this!

Post by: benizioni on July 18, 2008, 10:53:58 AM Thats my christmas list started anyway!
Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: RegalSin on July 18, 2008, 08:44:08 PM Well Sega officially released the same thing last year or so I believed. Nothing new to me. Also somebody took that and a made a minirature Genesis.
The nomad is also the only official and portable Genesis that turned the unit portable and was able to play at home like normal which I gotta see sometime upclose and personally. Other then that it is still a incomplete Genesis and a emulator is no diffrent if not better. So this is kinda waste of money Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this!

Title: Re: You guys have gotta see this! Post by: Cobra on July 21, 2008, 08:39:41 PM Actually, this (http://www.engadget.com/2...-drive-portable-handheld/) is an official product. TecToy its creator, is the Sega of Brazil.
As for this black version... hmm.. but the blue version is legit. This black one is probably a re-cased hack, but someone will have to dig deep to find out no doubt. Emulation, knockoffs and hacks obviously don't count as they are illegal. So like Mr. Ksoft said, your 1st consumer portable Mega Drive. The nomad was a Genesis, and was based on the portable Mega Drive of Japan that was only available on commercial plane flights ;). |
