PicoDrive for 3DS v0.94 - Blue GEN / SMD Style Edition
What is this?
OoOo, so special (not). You changed out the blue for another blue. That's it?
Yup.
Where's the Sega / Genesis / Mega Drive retro soul in this one? I don't feel the warm, fuzzy nostalgia.
Except for a bit of Dreamcast, I didn't grow up playing Sega video games. My personal experience with the Genesis or Mega Drive is zilch.
This emulator (like the previous two) was edited based on what colors the physical systems came in and from what little marketing material, advertisement, and commercial I could find about them.
This may have been a bad idea from the start because (surprise, surprise!), most home console video game systems are black as their default color and secondary colors (if there was any at all) are either grayscale or red [usually]. Cue getting called out as "You're a consolist! Not all of them are black. You should be ashamed of yourself!". You can add filthy casual to that accusation as well since I hardly play video games these days, lol.
Also, this system was made in multiple varieties. See here. Finding colors that meshed together was going to be problematic from the start.
If this fork of Picodrive looks butchered, too similar from Bubble's original build, or the colors seem like they were recycled from snes9x and virtuanes, just know this wasn't intentional.
