Who can test on hardware?

That's a weird sort of question...

Do anyone have a Master System with flashcart?

Or MD with PowerBaseConverter

 

I believe that the Everdrive supports Master System ROM loading on Genesis, so really anyone in this thread can help you out.
(I don't have an Everdrive yet, for the record. I'm just telling you this.)

 

Olho

 

I am in need of some assistance! Precisely, I need someone with a flashcart and a 6-button pad to test out something for me. I feel I have a broken MODE button, but I want to ensure that is at fault, not my code. PM me for more info!

 

I just got my Mega Everdrive X7 in the mail today, so I am now able to test on hardware for ya guys.
I currently have a late model 1 US Genesis to test on.

 

While this thread is being bumped, I have a Mega Everdrive X3 and a US Genesis Model 1 with TMSS and a Model 3.

 

I can test ROM hacks on a pretty vast amount of hardware. I have a Mega Everdrive flash cart with the OS version that came on the SD card that was packaged with it. As for the consoles, here's what I've got. Please note that all of these are USA NTSC 60hz systems.

- SEGA Genesis Model 1 (Without TMSS Lockout)
- SEGA Genesis Model 1 (With TMSS Lockout Chip)
- SEGA CD Model 2 (USA BIOS version 1.0.0)
- SEGA 32X (And yes, it does work)
- SEGA Nomad (Not modded for SMS ROMs, sorry)

I think that it's worth stressing that I am one of the few people here able to test both 32X ROM hacks and Mega CD ROM hacks. Hell, I even have the necessary hardware to test SEGA 32X CD ROMs!

That being said, I'm going to be pretty busy during the school year (starting college soon), so I can't guarantee that I'll always be snappy with my testing.

Anyway, happy hacking everyone!

 

I can pretty much test anything the guy above me can as I have all the required hardware he listed (Though my Nomad needs to be fixed). The only difference is that I have the original Everdrive and not the Mega Everdrive.
If anyone needs me to test something for them, feel free to PM me with the ROM or ISO image and I'll be happy to show you the results.

I'm also planning on getting an Master System Everdrive in the future. I'll post when I get it on this thread since there seems to be some kind of demand for using it.

 

Heh, always amusing to see this thread resurrected every few months.

And I'm not going to bother listing mine. Everyone knows at this point, because research.

 

I now own a 32X, and my flash cart does support that, so if any of you need 32X testing, I'm here.

I'll go ahead and repeat the other things I have:
- Model 1 US Genesis w/ TMSS (Doesn't have "High Definition Graphics" on it)
- Model 2 US Genesis
- 3 button controller
- 6 button controller
- Everdrive MD v3 (Will be looking to upgrade to a Mega Everdrive X7 in the future)

EDIT: 6 button controller crapped out on me >_>

 

Bumping to now say I own a US model 2 Sega CD, so I can now test CD games if any of you need to.

(Also 32X CD games, but I don't think I will find myself ever having to test one lol)

 

I now have a 32X as well for testing~

 

I can test in hardware now too.
I have a Megadrive MK1 (with 50/60hz and Region mod), and a Mega Everdrive X3
Also I have the original Megadrive Controller and another one with 6 buttons (but 3 of them are macros)

Image here (if for some reason you want to see it)

 

I can test on real hardware as well (I own a Mega Everdrive). I have a model 1 Sega Genesis (the High Definition model with the superior sound) and I use SCART through my XRGB-mini FRAMEMEISTER. I also own a 32x, but I typically use that with one of my model 2s (I have a couple).

*EDIT*

I also own a US Model 1 Sega CD.

 

I can test on hardware too (I got an Everdrive Cartridge, with Game Genie pre-installed). I obviously have a Sega Genesis (High Definition model, if you were wanting to know). I do not have any add-ons like Sega CD or 32x, so no Sonic CD stuff.

 

I can test on hardware with my Everdrive MD v3. I have a US Model 1 Sega Genesis (TMSS) and VA0 32X. I don't have a Sega CD yet though I have plans on getting one.

 

So I got a Sega Genesis Model 2 V1.8 With an Everdrive v3 And two 6 Button controllers.

 

I can now do hardware testing! I have a PAL Mega Drive 2 and a Mega Everdrive X3 cart. I also have one of those shitty AtGames Flashback consoles that can easily be set up, but I'm probably gonna throw it against a wall and bash it with a hammer for views soon anyway.

 

I Have the MegaDrive X3 with an Asian Model 1 Mega Drive, originally Pal, modded to be NTSC.

 

Since this thread got bumped, I figured I’d share my consoles and setups used for testing on real hardware, since I already have the hardware needed for those types of things.

Here is a list of consoles and other doodads that I own for this purpose:

• Sega Genesis Model 1 VA3 Non-TMSS
• Sega Mega Drive JP Model 1 VA6 TMSS
• Sega Genesis Model 1 VA6 TMSS (Non-HDG)
• Sega Genesis Model 1 VA6 TMSS (HDG)
• Sega Genesis Model 2 VA3
• Sega Mega Jet
• Standard Three-button Control Pad (JP & US)
• Six-button Control Pad (Arcade Pad)
• Sega CD US Model 1
• Sega CD US Model 2
• Sega 32X US

For the flash cartridge (or flashcart), I use the Mega Everdrive Pro. Previously, I used the Mega Everdrive X7 as my main flashcart until I got the Pro. I also have the Flashkit Cart MD as well (complete with the programmer).

In closing, "I can now test on hardware".

Spoiler: Images of my consoles

My Model 1 Genesis VA3 with Sega CD Model 1, and my Model 2 Genesis VA3 with the 32X. The 3-button controller is plugged into the Model 1 Genesis, while the 6-button controller is plugged into the Model 2 Genesis with 32X.


My two VA6 systems, one of which is a Japanese Mega Drive, and the other is an American Genesis.


Another VA6 Genesis that I own, with the Sega CD Model 2 attached. This was the third VA6 system I have owned. I thought this was a VA3 at first, but looking at the board of this system it was not.


My Sega Mega Jet.

Also, this was my first time embedding photos/images on a post after figuring out how to do it.....whoa.

EDIT 01/12/2023: I’ve recently discovered that one of my Genesis model 1s (the second HDG model 1 I had) is actually a VA6 revision and not a VA3; this was when I was taking apart the console to clean it up and confirmed the board revision via the number on the I/O chip. Also slightly changed several things such as the intro sentence, among others.
