if its credit that you gave me the idea by attempting the mainstream legends update after i had figured out to take the no_data update and injecting in my nand and then by figuring that a hex edit would change the addresses, ok i dont mind credit to you.

as for RMR i would love to work with him in the future because i think with his abilities we can do something better.
I am not sure if that is what you wanted me to say?

I dont think anything negative of you. I am still not sure why you are upset dude.

P.S. at the time you said it was not working. I assumed the same so i figured it be that the offset was incorrect. turns out my guess that the 1000 blocks may not matter.
I really dont want to argue dude. I am not sure what the issue is here.

Hey I tried to install the firmware update, but everytime it finishes, it takes me back to a screen that asks if I want to update. Also the games do not launch when I try them after I clicked the No to upgrade option eventually. Any solutions?

delete the update off the sd card. make sure your games are in .bin format no special characters and no spaces.

Do I delete the sega_update file as soon as I add the games to the SD card? Or do I try to update my system again, and then delete the update file?

Take the update off the mem card or rename it.
I was using a computer monitor that isnt HDMI compliant and every time I started a game it would take me back to the menu.
So I had to use a modern flat screen TV.
Oh yes AND no spaces in all the game names.

If you can see the SD Card option in the menu you don't need to run the update again.
Just delete or rename the sega_update.img file, create a folder called GAME, and insert your games in .bin format and without spaces in their names inside this folder.

nah if you updated no need to reattempt. it all works. just delete the file of the update file off the sd card no rename. after that make sure there are no special characters or spaces and keep your files in bin format.

The roms run now but what I noticed is that European versions of some games that I have seem to run as the NTSC versions and not to mention the sound quality of European roms are awful. I went to test Sonic 3 and the sound was fine because it's an NTSC rom instead of a PAL rom.

thats just the emulation being wonky brother. thats the hardware itself. i believe the snes classic did the same results.

Yeah now that I look at it that way, you're right. Which is sort of a shame too because the original Fatal Fury is without a doubt my favourite game that I owned for my Mega Drive as a child and the soundtrack and other sound effects sound way superior on the PAL version than it's NTSC counterpart.

you know what though for an overabundance of caution i will set a warning for people to only apply this update on genesis consoles and not mega drive units.

Good idea, just a little disclaimer to warn others. Oh and I forgot to mention I live in Australia so I also played the hell out of Australian football (or as we call it Rugby League) when I was growing up too. The sound was choppy and it ran way too fast to a point where it was unplayable, kinda like with the issues Mortal Kombat 3 had on the 2017 flashback model.
