Sega Megadrive (Genesis) Flashback Mini HD with an USB on internal mother board

[Hekel]

cool it's a bloody pain @WD_Gaster stuff works great can play lots more games now but i would love to get back to the original dashboard as well, was going to put on the dumping cart mod as well

Did you tryed the uninstaller to get back to the original Dashboard?

Perfectly Done, i checked youre DASHBOARD ist the same FILENAME but the source is different! I Cant say what the difference is yet but as i expected everyone should dump theyre DASHBOARDS. For this download the file i provided in the early post. You will find a E-Mail to contact me if there is any interests from youre side that i check the file for differences.

@thx1138 i will check for youre Problem with the SEGA GENERATIONS Dashboard now. Give me some time to check the Problem.

@thx1138 You sad youre living in Australia? So we Call it the Australia Version.

yes i would call it the Australia/New Zealand Version. New Zealand gets the same stock as Australia dose

yes just went to a black screen the only other things i have moved and linked the all-games.ini file to the games folder following ETA PRIME guide

ok then i know what the Problem is. I had the same Problems with the ini file.. the SD-Storage that Pops up is very fast broken.. ist better to let the ini file where it is with no SYM Link! i made a script which dump/Uploads the ini file. Best Thing would be to reload the stock Firmware and from there im sending you my script. So you can be sure that nothings gonna be corrupt.

Basicly youre Original Dashboard doesnt load because its missing the ini.. to check if i am right try to drag and drop the file from the storage device.. it will highly Pop up an error that the file doesnt exist.

You can try to delete the sym link and load it again but this will not fix the damage on the Partition. I was sometimes able to get it back to work by deleting it manualy and reupload it then reboot the console.. but better would be to reset the whole console.

Well i made a script which dumps and then removes all stock games from the console. Another script can reload all the games at once. in mind to have the storage for using as the most games dont makes sense anymore if you can simply upload them with youre own Folder.

Allright. This LOADER i made will prevent from this Problem. Stop the SYM-LINK.. Its crap..

Not too hard but not so easy if you have a too-big-soldering-tip

One of the best USB flash drive (writing speed/cost) at the moment is the Lexar JDS25-64G-1000; cheaper one are ABSURDLY slow in writing (while good at reading); if you have time check them here.

Thanks for this link, will check it out. By the way the script from my dashboard works sand unplug the usb device before shutdown

Sorry for the newbie question but to flash it in the feature what kind of cable we need? Also we can store games on a usb drive? If yes we need an adaptor cable? Sorry for the trivial questions but I cannot make it out from the various pics of this thread...

We can add a usb storage device by using an otg adapter cable. But if you wanna use a usb storage device you need to put a wire to the usb port. Because the port lacks of 5v whichs powers the usb device you plug in.
