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

Awesome. Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. I will absolutely do that as soon as I get time.

 

Restore tutorial added to the wiki, let me know if it is "understandable"

 

Yep, super easy. I can also confirm that flashing a non-obb backup to an obb model works fine. I have a 2GB obb model and a 4GB non-obb model.
I backed up both and flashed the 4GB to the 2GB one. I worked fine, symlink and all. Of course, not the whole user partition flashed, but since I wasn’t taking up much space on it anyway, it didn’t matter. Content on both are identical now.

So, people with an obb model can convert theirs to the easier model, using the stock firmware from the wiki. They would just need to edit the parameter file and change the “count” portion of the user partition to the 2GB number.

 

Im working on a improved version of @WD_Gaster Dashboard. Here a little work in progress pic:



I Hope Gaster will join the improved version. It haves new sounds a better Skin and some other new Features.

 

Nearly Final Design of the main Menu

 

Bought today this awesome couple. Can't wait to extend their functionality!

 

I miss the atari flashback unit :-D i might gonna buy one aswell ;-)

 

Activision edition is more expensive, but it has more beauty box, menu and more games than usual Gold version with 120 games.

 

I see well its anyway hard to get one of these in switzerland but i will take a look if i can pick up one :-D. I feel like it could be some fun to play with it hehe

 

EBay is your friend, I think. I bought mine copies at local shop, but before done this I searched EBay for prices difference.

 

Yeah, ebay is always good for a price check. But i guess even if i find one localy it will have a higher price than usualy :-) but we will see

First check on the real Hardware. I will need some help from coders, as it looks like the console icons positions needs to be changed so they fit better into the projects idea..

 

it would have been nice if you had asked before you went ahead and did this.
my app is still a work and progress where I am actually programming and i am still doing changes. editing the apk by changing assets and calling it "new features" is something i dont necesarily agree with. I also added a skinning option so people would not have to fully edit the app... I obviously cant prevent anybody from doing as they wish on the internet, but do me a favor if anything please remove the trademark fake line from the bottom of the launcher. Last thing i need is somebody sending me a takedown notice over confusing a modified version of my app to my own.

Also if you are re-signing the apk after doing changes you can cause issues for people trying future updates of my app if they have installed your modified version previously.

also since you mentioned you have applied fixes, what changes have you done?

 

I did asked you on pm if i should make a nice design and you sad YES. I used the latest version with the skinning option. But its very very limited when it comes to editing.. and i did not release anything or given anything out. Even for retroshield nor anything for your sega generations related dashboard. So theyre wouldnt be any need of scared about resign youre app, like i mentioned in the pm‘s i sended you: i wanted to co-operate. By this meaning i would provide to you all the edited stuff (yes i decompiled youre app) so you could make a clean version out of it.. the sega copyright text is only a temp. placeholder! As i noticed in my comments its still a wip project...

- still if youre scared about any copyright problems you should remove all the logos you used on youre dashboard.. aswell as the skinning option cause everyone can add what ever he/she wish for in the images...just to have this sad.

I just wanted to help you but its allright. I will stop the project and move on with RetroShield.

Sorry about any circumstances.

 

Allright i recycled my design to use with RetroShield:



Looks great aswell!

 

@Hekel @WD_Gaster
Hekels design is awesome, it would be a pity if you didn't cooperate

 

Thanks for those words. :-D

Now i integrated fully usb support to retroshield! Pretty great :-). These system are now running:

SEGA MEGA DRIVE/GENESIS/MEGA TECH
SEGA GAME GEAR
SEGA MASTER SYSTEM/MARK II
SEGA PICO
SEGA MEGA CD/SEGA CD
ORIGINAL CARTRIDGES FROM SLOT.

Now i need to fix some stuff in the Database. When everything is working i provide a english version aswell..

Any stuff you miss?

 

Looks great Hekel, looking forward to test an english version

 

Forgot to mention.. a file browser is onboard aswell :-D and a android app launcher!!

 

Have you considered adding SG-1000 as well?

 

Not yet :-D but need to check if theres a good emulator for it :-)
