Well I was referencing that blast processing joke from way back when. Sega missed opportunity to use it again.

Input lag tests of retail vs review vs original hardware:
Concerning the Genesis Mini sound lag - I tested a retail unit. Let's compare it to my review unit. Sorry I sound rushed in this video, had to fit it all in Twitter's 140 second limit. pic.twitter.com/3IS5QLYkDj

Agreed, but we're not back in the 90s - Nintendo and Sony are a lot bigger than Sega. I got one as a gift, but I don't have it right now.
^ M2 made it harder to mod with custom encryption and various other bits and bobs that take more time to reverse engineer/repack in order to customize. Shame they put all that effort into behind the scenes stuff aimed at modders whilst ignoring things like proper sound emulation, lag and decent filters.
These will be selling for around £25 in a few months time and even then you're still better off with a PSC.

I see.
Still I feel more comfortable having my money go to SEGA/M2 rather than the people who made the PSC, even if it is more bang for the buck. At the end of the day I buy this to support the company, cuz if I wanted the features I could simply get a better experience on my pc with roms. I haven't looked too much into BlastEm, but it's probably better than M2's offering. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I get what you're saying, I really wanted this to be on par with the SNES Mini as well due to nostalgia, supporting Sega and having proper controllers but from everything I've seen they've pretty much botched it on a few vital points and the PSC emulation gives you a much more accurate experience.
Even when its modded it will most like be running RA to get better emulation but on less specced hardware so the PSC trumps it again.
ROMs on a PC just ain't anywhere near as close a mini consoles with proper controllers on a TV. Nintendo set the bar so high with the SNES that nothing comes anywhere near it as its nigh on perfect out of the box with its features, emulation quality etc... but I expected more from this with M2 at the helm as this has put me off buying the PCE Mini as well because (surprise!) the PSC emulates that perfectly as well and M2 may just botch another Mini for some quick cash.
If its worth doing its worth doing how it should be done because the aesthetics come second to the experience for me, unless of course you get lucky and they're both present and correct in spades.

I'm very excited for it, but the price is what's making me hold off. Do you think it really will be made in limited quantities?
No. Incredibly high price, import taxes and limited quantities are a HUGE turn off for me. I might hate piracy and everything, but I'd rather wait for someone to leak the Fantasy Zone MD and VS Puyo Puyo Sun ROMs on the internet
It might be true as they weren't even going to release outside of Japan at first. I have a feeling it's going to be a single run and no re-stock.
The price is definitely a bit high but if it's really a tenth of the production I think they could've made it more expensive and still sold out. The first one is selling for silly money now so these will probably be worth a lot more once they're gone.
You're better off waiting for a Raspberry Pi 5 and get one to turn it into an emulation machine
From a piracy point of view I believe that the Genesis Mini 2, or any device in the same vein, are an obvious waste of money (unless found dirt cheap). However, personally I'm happy to see the games being re-released in a legal way for people to enjoy and own.
I don't think anyone interested in this system needs to be informed how anything can easily be pirated, even less so considering the history of the site we're discussing this on. Let's just agree to disagree.
The main market for these minis is nostalgia-based toys more than anything else, at least in Japan. I do think it's a shame that the emulation by M2 hasn't been as top-notch as the Nintendo minis though.
