Check this out: www.dealextreme.com/p/2-8-lcd.....UPDATE: Don't check this out! Read my subsequent post  Not sure if this is a Genesis on a chip like the Nintendo clones. I'll find out though! I like my Dingoo but when the rechargeable battery wears out who knows if replacements will be available.. |

Looks like another AtGames Firecore clone (SoC with emulation). I do like the styling and the built in SD card port. It's not bad for the price.

Got mine and it failed within an hour.
The screen gets warped when you press the select button. It's VERY finicky about which SD cards it'll take. At NO point in the documentation do they tell you ROMs have to be put in a folder called GAME to be recognized. The other free games offered via Internet are pirated hacks (typical). Oh, and certain ROMs will overwrite the bootstrap for the console thus rendering the unit a brick. Besides that, the Datavision MD-8066 is a WONDERFUL device!

Sounds like a good deal... NOT!

Sounds like a good deal... NOT! I know! The EverDrive checks to see if your ROM is too big for the area it allocates in flash memory. How hard would it be to implement a software check like that in a mass produced unit? Expectantly since this is NOT the first model with that Genesis emulator on it!!! I'm mad because the concept is so cool.. 3 batteries give you your entire Genesis library on the go.. sigh! |

The Retrogen is a pretty cool unit. It's a SOC version of the Sega Genesis. Kinda cool, but has the same sound problems other units have. Although there are many good things about it:
1.) The screen is crisp and clear
2.) 6 Button Controller
3.) Integrated rechargable battery.
Other than that it's a SOC which means it's emulation all the way on the genesis carts. EverDrive doesn't work. Believe me, I already checked. :-)
