Another Rocket Panda update. Maybe I actually get this in the mail some day.. maybe...

Some dude I hugged in a train station made that case insert. Nice job.

I need a deeper stapler apparently, but not too bad.

Considered making a new thread, but given that the 32X was a bolt on to the Genesis, I guess I'll bolt this on here.

In my endless quest to fill a hole in my soul with purchases of "stupid ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---," (::)) I present a model 1 Genesis and 32X. The damn boot screen on Genesis 2 pisses me off so much I bought an older Genesis. Plus the old ones sound better.

The port of Virtua Fighter that has no business being as good as it is came with it.

There's a few ROM hacks floating around. The Doom Resurrection one is particularly impressive.

Here's the factory ROM:

And here's version 2.2b of the rom patch, which is the newest version that can fit onto a 4MB eprom:

Doom was very old news by the time it came with one of my $15 32Xs in the 90s, but it was a really lousy port. (yes, it was literally cheaper to buy a 32X with Doom packed in than it was to buy Doom separately)
The rom patched version looks great and plays incredibly well.

Mortal Kombat 2 got a color patch. This was actually a very, very good port originally.

And the beauty of all this is that the only thing distinguishing a 32X game from a Genesis game is the ROM header, so all those PCBs I have laying around work fine:

Only about 40 games total, so I'll just go ahead and make the entire library.

:cheers:

That's awesome. How many unique game cartridges are you up to now with the correct artwork/sticker on the outside so it looks "official"?

pbj:
For genesis? In the neighborhood of 75 legit, 150 bootlegs. PC Engine probably 15 legit, 20 bootlegs. Master System? 5 bootlegs, 20 legit. 32x? Six legit, three or four bootlegs. I did go ahead and order 20 32x flashcarts before any wars or tariffs come into play.

The EPROM burner has been a supremely satisfying purchase.

:cheers:

I think we need custom labels for some of these, like the MKII hax.

All joking aside, I'm sort of intrigued at some of these 32x hax that like change the background layer to something more detailed; has me thinking about learning how to do it since I'm pretty much done with all my Sega Saturn translations.

Just imagine UMK3 with non----smurfy--- backgrounds.
