So that means analog to digital was performed by the TV. The Genesis was connected to the TV's composite and the audio sent via ARC to the receiver, too. It's a moderate home theater system, not the greatest on earth. In this case it's a TCL 55P605 4K TV with ARC out to my Sony DH550 auto-calibrated using the included mic with some Yamaha surround speaker / sub combo I got on Amazon a couple years ago. Compared the Mega RetroN HD to the VA2 Genesis I just picked up on Friday. Listened to the sound test in some iconic soundtracks: Sonic 2, SoR 2, Street Fighter 2, Revenge of Shinobi (Shinobi 2, right?).all the S2's except Shining Force 2, I guess. If only they'd done a great job with the upscaling.ĭid some A/B comparisons of audio today. It's not possible to "bottom out" and press every direction at once like you can with cheaper pads. Yes, the buttons are slightly stiff, but the D-pad is really great. Shining Force 1 and 2, Street Fighter 2, Super SF2, Outrun 2019, NHL 94, Virtua Racing (assuming it runs at all), Sunset Riders. The problem is there are 180+ games on that list, and it includes a handful of really popular games. So my hypothesis is that the system stretches 256x224 games to 320x224 BEFORE it upscales them, instead of after scaling.
And guess what's not? No Sonic, no Streets of Rage. Guess what's on there? Street Fighter II SCE. Less common resolution modeĪnd then I found this: The Definitive 256 mode Genesis Games List: The commentary below is the page's commentary. I remembered that the Genesis supported a couple of different rendering modes, but couldn't remember the details. But just out of interest, does it play Virtua Racing? If you have a way to play Genesis games and you're happy with it, stick with that. So it'll get me until the Mega Sg comes out because it's a cheap HDMI Genesis. It's done at (my guess, probably.) 480p before the image is upscaled, and the effect is much more pronounced. The problem with the Mega Retron HD is that this isn't done at 720p like it is on the NES. My Life in Gaming's video on the NES classic shows it. This effect is also present in the NES mini if you're using a 4:3 mode rather than "pixel perfect". Honda's bath house, the tile edges get wider and smaller as the screen slowly scrolls back and forth. What's happening is that every X lines (one out of 3? 2 out of 5? I'm not sure) the width of a pixel is doubled, and that's how it goes from square pixels to a 4:3 image.
Scrolling vertically you can't see it, but scrolling horizontally across images that have vertical lines, you can see it. I didn't see it playing Sonic or SoR2, but it jumped out to me today when playing Street Fighter 2. And there's something a little.weird I noticed.
