Wow! Impressive, the system did very well under those circumstances. It's been on my radar for a while but now I'm really getting one.
The fact that Virtua Racing is enough to justify my purchase. R.I.P. wallet.
I knew the EverdriveMD would work because the console emulates the hardware unlike the retron 5 which dumps the rom first before running in emulation. It is still simply down to how it is implemented.
But is it an emulation machine or it plays 100# cartridges directly?...
I'm looking forward to play pirate, repros and homebrew games I hope it would play them all...
@@danielnegron8803 No emulation its a reversed engineered hardware clone.
Great video man! Just pick this up and I am excited to start playing and collecting for this console! New Library = New World’s to Explore!
FINALLY
you have no idea how many reviews i had to check out until i found someone testing sonic and knuckles
Awesome glad it helped out
I know this is an old video and comment but does this play sonic 3 and knuckles with the lock on
@@justinhillard8100 yes it does.
if one lock-on game works they all work
It seems like they nailed it with this one.
If you want to test the accuracy of a clone genesis, try Panorama Cotton, for example on older ATGames Genesis clone this game has a lot of glitches and slowdown, so if your clone is (old) emulation based you'll notice right away.
I own the Supa Retron HD and the Mega Retron HD. Nice clone systems for the price. They do everything I want them to do.
nice man, is there a everdrive snes version?
cool i just googled the super everdrive lol .. Do you own that?? i have OG megadrive and also MegaRetron HD and chinese everdrive pretty happy with it but noticed doesnt run a few games weirdly Urban Strike.I would check out hyperkins Snes clone if super everdrive is good
I modded the retro trio to play virtua racing, just a case of soldering one wire under the cartridge slot.
nice
I am suprised virtua racing works. Bought that game last year knowing the mega SG will come out
I’m getting excited about this product. Great video
What's up! I had went out a got myself one too. And I had thrown in my Lakers vs Celtics and in the NBA playoffs. And . Yes it still works . Wow after all these years a 30 year Sega Genesis tape still working💪. And then I had thrown in Mortal Kombat 1 in my Mega Retron system. And yes the Blood Code still works ABACABB if I am not mistaken!!!!
For whatever reason, Knuckles in Sonic 2 does not work with the Mega Retron HD that I have, at least with the physical carts. That's especially strange to me, because apart from working just fine in this video, it plays the invididual carts, as well as Blue Sphere and Sonic 3 & Knuckles with no problem. I had to use a patched ROM on an Everdrive flash cart in order to get it to run properly.
Sonic 3 with sonic and knuckles, according to another channel don’t work, please test that
Virtua racing looks alright, I think the big draw back for old racing games ia they are SLOW but that game looks FAST!
Great review and testing, getting one now. Thanks
Thank you.
Looks Good waiting for full review please keep telling how its better than others as l need a megadrive.
The system also kind of reminds me of the Dreamcast with its shape. Coincidence?
I wonder if the 32X (With the special cables and such) or the Master system power base would work on this. If so, then I would say it is THE Sega clone to rule them all. :)
Todd Riverden Well any system without a genesis-style multi out is instantly disqualified for 32x support that’s for sure
How about emulating the 32X. I don't know how it's implemented, but if it's possible that they implemented a megadrive+32X emulation. And how about the sega cd? Probably it doesn't have the cd connector, but, could you boot cd isos with an everdrive o similar from an sd card?
@@jordicoma do you know more today? Bought an mega retron yesterday and i am very interested in the answer if it works with 32x games
Thanks for showing this, it maybe the perfect non FPGA based genesis clone ever made,
But did you not wonder if the sega manacer via crt tv will also work on this clone? Would be exciting!!!!
Does this thing support 4 player in J-carts, like Micro Machines?
Does the Master System power base converter work?
This looks real good! Much better then my retrogen adaptor which probably works much worse then a sega genesis...
I'm a hairy man but I am well Jell of your hairy man arms! As for the console, brilliant!
I ordered a Mega SG but wow maybe I didn't need too
Yeah I’m going to get this console off Amazon
......I assume there's no 32X support, right? Didn't see any connections in the back... Sad...
Tell me and Game Genie Genesis will work with the entered codes in a multi-game cartridge?
What about 112 in 1 sega games do they work on Mega retron hd?
There is one error... Your 4:3 games are in a 16:9 aspect ratio!
I've heard in reviews that those collection Sega cartridges don't work on the 3 In 1 Model (NES, SNES, Sega). Is that your guys's experience? Is it working on the singular Sega model and not the 3 in 1?
I've been debating getting the hyperkin sega or the original Sega hyperkin makes very good quality I have a hyperkin nes controller and I have to say its probably the best nes controller I've ever use and I'm 37 years old and had the nes and sega genesis when they were still very new and big systems at the time I think I'm getting the hyperkin sega it's a reasonable price and plays almost all games so it must be a system on a chip in order to play those games perfectly
Very cool. A lot of people piss on the at games version. I still defend it due to the save feature
Im surprised with the performance. I was really contemplating on getting one until I scored a for parts genesis model 1 I was able to fix up but im still considering on getting it for the size and the hdmi factor
right on the money ,i hope guys like rgt85 are watching this review.
justin tubbs fuck rgt85
@@hyze2552 lol
Good video, why 16:9 Mode?
That's what I was about to ask!
I don't have a problem with fat Sonic. :P
Maybe they were using HDMI
Does the old NES Game Genie work on the 3 in 1 Hyperkin system?
Does a 4 way adapter work?
Sweet
What's is the input Latency tho?
No 4:3 aspect toggle?
I would buy this if I didn't already have the entire Genesis, GG and SMS library on my Wii
Is this hw emulation or sw emulation? If its hardware, I would wonder if 32x would work on it. I didn't hear from this hyperkin console yet. Thanks for the review! Keep up the good job!!
It's Hardware emulation . You would have to use a special cable or adapters to be able to hook up the audio and video and maybe it might work maybe
@@8-Bit_Flashback I was going to ask the same question about if this was Hardware or Software emulation. Thanks for replying, I assume you would want HW emulation with these clone consoles but what is the main benefit of HW over SW?
@@TN_AU hardware emulation when done right imitates more closely how it originally functioned and behaved.
Mine plays repro games for about 10 min and then flashes to a black screen and resets, then plays about 1 min before crashing to NO SIGNAL on tv
The Mega Retron HD simulates the Sega Megadrive hardware with hardware. It does not dump the ROM to an emulator because the system is not an emulator. All games run directly from the cartridge through the hardware. This explains why Everdrives work. No idea about a clone Everdrive but the real Everdrives don't use software emulation either. They are FPGA hardware based as far as running the games goes.
It's obviously true they have software on them to send the ROM data to the console but it's not emulation. Most if not all other Hyperkin clone consoles do work by emulation so Everdrives for NES & SNES won't work on these.
There is multiple types of emulation. Hardware emulation, software emulation etc. Anything other than the original equipment would be considered as a form of emulation.
I got one from my brother who pass away so i when to he house to pick something stuff for memory and i see this in the floor he just to play this was this and 196 in 1 😢
Spelling my guy
Only adding this comment because of the reference to emulation made in the video. This is a hardware clone, not emulation. The console is a Genesis/Megadrive on a chip and for the most part behaves as an original system would. There are issues running Master System games on the Megaretron Hd but have more to do with the upscaler used in the system than the actual console. Great console for those not wanting to mess with old hardware or pay the high prices of FPGA based systems.
Hardware emulation is the process of imitating the behavior of one or more pieces of hardware (typically a system under design) with another piece of hardware, typically a special purpose emulation system.
@@8-Bit_Flashback True. The average Joe however thinks of emulators as being a software based process. I was only pointing out to the less informed that this option is a hardware based system and not the same as the atgames stuff. Good review by the way 😁👍
@@my80chevettes thanks. Yeah it's not always easy to get my point across. Sometimes you have to be super specific not to confuse anyone, especially in the tech world.
What about the 32x and Master System games??
master system games work via everdrive and 32x might possibly work with special adapters but the video signal would reduced to composite but I have no confirmation on that yet
How about the sega manacer on a crt on this clone console??? Will it work?
32X?
The 196 in 1 cartridge does not work on this. FYI
What's a good website to but these gamegenie and megadrive games ? Any details will like to know thanks
You do know this is not emulation. It is actual hardware
Its hardware emulation anything other then original hardware is a form of emulation. There is multiple forms of emulation such as Software, Hardware and FPGA which is hardware emulation on a chip.
This is a SOC or system on chip. It doesn't contain the physical ram or Yamaha sound on it. FPGA is hardware simulation and the mega SG will be the perfect Megadrive
Then that means your videos are emulations of other videos. And your TV is an emulation TV.
@@8-Bit_Flashback
Does it work with everdrive?
Can I get the link to where you got that everdrive please? Thanks
I don't like HYPERKIN at all, but this has me interested
Very Good 👏😊
So... this clone console is what the SuperNT is to the Super Nintendo?
No quite the nt uses fpga emulation which is a little cleaner.
The mega SG is analogues next console. I have a super NT and am waiting for my mega SG
MegaManNeo No this is more SupaRetroN HD than Super NT
@@bishopwilliams6817 I would be interested but for a company named analog they sure as fuck dropped analog support from their consoles to cut cost real quick.
@@Clesarie they have a DAC that changes hdmi to analouge that works only for there systems so u can use these on a crt display
How about retro bit
what's the best site to download roms to the Sega everdrive sd
Not emulator inside of that clone, they have a Goac tct6803 it's a Genesis on a simple Smd chip
Its still considered hardware emulation.
Is there a snes version of this??
This has only one real flaw. It stretches out to 4:3 weird on the lower res games. It like doubles every eighth pixel. The console doesn't seem flashable.
sera que pega 100% dos jogos
Pier solar?
Now try a 32x!
And the conection with 32X and Sega CD?
I got some special cables to test out the 32x coming as far as the Sega CD there is expansion / serial ports so connecting to a Sega CD is not possible
@@8-Bit_Flashback ok thanks friend
But and sound ??? What is the sound quality compared to the original?
For some reason mine can't play sonic 2 and knuckles can anyone tell me whats happening every time I boot it up its just a black screen also does this work with sonic 3 locked on to sonic and knuckles
It works fine for me. Best thing to do is make sure your cartridge contacts are very clean
Where could i get ever drive cart
Ebay is where i got mine
@@8-Bit_Flashback cool!
Is there a certain type
The ones I've seen and enquired about were told by the seller not compatible with Clones.
Thanks for your response
Kinda sucks this clone system doesn't have Sega CD compatibility.
Try repro modded games
Stereo or dual monk or mono? Hardware or emulator?
3:00 But this is not emulation. It's a console that's colonized to a single chip and acts as a megadrive.
It's hardware emulation, anything other than stock is considered a form of emulation.
Hyperkin build a Sega all in console Mastersystem Genesis Sega CD 32X combo console
Link?
Game Gear? On the Mega Everdrive? I think you need to double check your results. That isn’t a feature of the Everdrive.
Yes it is.... maybe you should read into it LOL
Thats nutty buggers... Isnt this system like $45 or something? I've never seen emulation that solid before. Kinda makes fpga pointless. Can it go back to 4:3 though? If it can't, that would be its only downfall that I can see.
Yes 4:3 switch is on back.
Fpga isn't pointless. This is a system on chip and has been done before. FPGA is hardware simulation meaning its been reversed engineered from an actual megadrive.
@@bishopwilliams6817 i know what fpga is... Lol
That is what is amazing me. It is this good and so cheap.
Yo!
I wish you would have used the 4:3 aspect option, the games look like shit in widescreen.
who really cares 32x was over rated 16bit kicked its ass in sales.
