ohh....I was expecting to see something more Sister vs Sister related.... looks ok

Completely useless imo. But if you have the money, and love collecting stuff like this, go for it. Now if this was a Sega Saturn FPGA, you got my attention.

In my honest opinion: meh, it came 30 years too late.

I'd rather see someone modding a Saturn to allow Genesis carts to be played on it.

I don't think it serves much of a purpose. It looks cool though. If you have the money and you're a collector it'd make an interesting showpiece for a collection.

I don't want to be overall dismissive, because there was clearly time and work put into this project, but some guy making a thing doesn't make it a Sega anything

It looks cool for sure but really, it's kind of a cool thing to buy and display rather than anything else. Like @bjork said "I don't want to be overall dismissive, because there was clearly time and work put into this project"

Honestly, if they were selling just the case for a DIY build, I'd be more likely to buy one and make my own custom version. But as it stands, I can emulate anything it plays on pretty much anything I already own.
I don't really need another console collecting dust that I never play.

Again, very cool looking regardless.

Get this with the Mega Everdrive Pro and you have the ultimate set up!

I think it's pretty cool.

Having a system that allows you to play retail 32X games definitely has a place as the original HW is something that's not particularly robust.

Also, as mentioned, this system with an ED pro/Mega SD will give you a setup that plays MD, Sega CD and 32X, which is the full combo.

Would like to see it playing 32X games, as well as Genesis games. Also wonder if it would play games like Corpse Killer 32X on the ED Pro, which would be cool.
