But my tune changed upon seeing its first hands-on review from YouTube channel RetroRGB (embedded at the end of this article). I was originally hesitant to write up the MegaSD's announcement-especially since it comes from relatively unknown flash card manufacturer TerraOnion as opposed to Sega, and it costs a whopping €232 (roughly $261 USD). It replicates the original Sega CD's functions without requiring a laser-driven disc drive while also remaining compatible with that add-on's peculiar system-communication style. This combination flash drive and FPGA board plugs into original Genesis and Mega Drive consoles (and the newer Analogue Mega Sg). Specifically, the Sega CD has received new life in the form of the MegaSD.
Last year, however, we saw arguably the first big product to fill in one major under-served niche: the early '90s CD add-on adapter. Fan-favorite companies are taking emulation seriously with products like the NES Classic and the Sega Genesis Mini, while enthusiasts are filling in the gaps to either upgrade original consoles' connectors or rebuild them as "hardware-emulated" FPGA systems. It's a great time to play old video games on modern TVs. A peek at the box shipping in late 2019 to buyers.
