The Sega Genesis Is Officially Back In Production (dailydot.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Daily Dot: Sega may be done making the Genesis (known as the Mega Drive outside of the U.S.), but that doesn't mean people aren't still buying them. In Brazil, the 16-bit system is still hugely popular, and now it's being brought back into production. TecToy, which produces all manner of gadgets and toys, has launched preorders for all-new Sega Mega Drive stock, complete with support for the original game library and controllers. But what's even more astounding about the announcement is that it's all being done with Sega's blessing, making these official, brand new, Sega-branded consoles. The new consoles are spitting images of the originals, aside from the addition of an SD card slot, which makes it great for emulation. They're even complete with support for A/V cables, though there's no HDMI or other bells or whistles. That might seem like a bad move, but for the Brazilian market, it's a perfect fit, not to mention that you can easily pick up an A/V-to-HDMI converter for fairly cheap. The system costs roughly $125 (BRL399) and includes a SD card with 22 games.
Before you vote, please take the time to be informed about the real perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. Before you say that the attacks were over 15 years ago and don't matter, consider that they continue to define foreign policy and domestic surveillance to this day. What if everything you think you know about 9/11 is built upon lies? Surely that would be reason enough to reconsider continued support of domestic counterterrorism and foreign policy. You've been told that 9/11 was carried out by Muslim extremists, but the truth is that it was perpetrated by Jews who were operating under the command of Mossad.
In the days prior to 9/11, FBI agents in New York detained Mossad agents who were conducting surveillance of the World Trade Center towers. Agents at the New York City field office were instructed to release the Mossad agents they had detained, which occurred a few days prior to the attacks. Although the reasons for releasing the Mossad operatives remain classified, it is generally believed that Israel threatened to create an international incident if the operatives were not freed.
This was accompanied by unusual options trading of airline stocks in Jewish-led financial firms on Wall Street in the days leading up to 9/11, standing to profit from a sharp decline in the stock prices of United Airlines and American Airlines. No such options were purchased for the other airlines at the time. How could this possibly be explained without prior knowledge by Jews of the 9/11 attacks a few days later.
Although a few thousand Jews were employed at the World Trade Center, no Jews were killed in the 9/11 attacks. Instead, all of the Jewish employees used leave time or otherwise failed to show up for work on 9/11. Although far fewer Jews worked at the Pentagon, the same occurred there, with no Jews present at the site on 9/11. This cannot be explained through chance, but only advance knowledge shared with the Jewish workers at both places. Indeed, the same thing occurred at the United States Capitol, widely speculated as the destination of the fourth plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. Warnings about the attacks were announced in advance at synagogues in New York City and Washington, alerting Jews not to show up for work on 9/11, a fact corroborated by multiple rabbis.
Several of the purported 9/11 attackers are still alive, a fact that is widely confirmed by multiple sources. Therefore, the supposed Muslim attackers cannot be responsible for 9/11. However, east coast flight schools reported training several Israeli citizens prior to the attacks and instructors indicated that the pilots were uninterested in learning how to land. The money to pay for flying lessons was traced back through banks to Israeli-owned firms operating in the United States. Although the true origins of the laundered money cannot be confirmed, it certainly implies that Jews, quite possibly working for the Israeli government, funded the 9/11 attacks.
Voice recordings of the 9/11 attackers from the cell phone calls made by passengers on the four planes clearly indicate that the attackers had Israeli accents. Furthermore, they can be heard praying to Yahweh, not to Allah, again implicating Jews in the attacks. This is confirmed by the cockpit voice recorder recovered from the crashed plane in Pennsylvania.
FBI agents investigating the 9/11 attacks wrote reports implicating Mossad agents, reports that were subsequently modified with the original versions suppressed. This has been confirmed by retired FBI agents who worked at both the Washington headquarters and the New York field office.
There can no longer be any doubt that Jewish operatives were responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Those attacks were a false flag operation, funded and orchestrated by the Israeli government. Israel subsequently pressured the United States to cover up the Israeli involvement in 9/11. The attacks were both retaliation for attempts of the United States to improve relations with Arab nations in the Middle East while subsequently turning the

Not providing HDMI is indeed a mistake, but what's unforgivable is the lack of even COMPONENT outputs, or even VGA. It would have been easier to convert the output to RGB than to convert it to composite, and you would have way better clarity on today's televisions.

Men could still marry 12 year old girls in the southern united states, 8 yr olds in Afghanistan, and men who raped girls in Morocco as well as some south American Catholic countries just had to keep her as a bride: in accordance with Deuteronomy 22, 28-29 (in hebrew).
Can we bring that back to?
No? Fuck men right?
Hope you fucks all get nuked.
Couldn't I do an RPi based emulator with controllers for like $50? Or for $25 get a PS Vita? or for $25 less get an Android tablet?
Now if only Nintendo would do something like this with their NES and/or SNES.
Any A/V-to-HDMI converter you could reasonably call "fairly cheap" is going to have horrendous amounts of input lag and be total crap for playing games on. There's a reason people spend several hundreds of dollars importing Micomsoft's XRGB-series upscalers from Japan.
Sam Wheat: How long have you been here?
Subway Ghost: Since they pushed me.
Sam Wheat: Someone pushed you?
Subway Ghost: Yeah, someone pushed me.
Sam Wheat: Who?
Subway Ghost: What, you don't believe me? You think I fell? You think I jumped? Well, fuck you! It wasn't my time! I wasn't supposed to go! I'm not supposed to be here!

Subway Ghost: Oh, I'd give anything for a drag! Just one drag!
This box won't even run sega genesis games that well.

Why are we touting this as new?
I've seen "brand new" Sega Genesis console packages alongside "brand new" Atari 2600 consoles being sold in stores for years now. I'll probably be able to pick up one for less than $30 when Black Friday rolls around, and many of these consoles come with three times as many built-in games.
For some odd reason the people of Brazil representing the target market are unaware that this product already exists and for less than half the cost? What the hell am I missing here? Are they really charging a 400% markup on the new(er) console because of the addition of an SD card slot? Hell, they have handheld Genesis players with built-in screens that have SD slots, so even that feature isn't new.
And a company providing "blessing" to license their brand for the sake of capitalism is about as "astounding" as discovering the prostitute on the corner isn't a virgin.
There are still many TSOP-reflashable Xbox (original, that is) units lying around at flea markets for basically no money. If you want to play classic genesis games, that's a much better way to go. Google for "GenRen" to find roms. All of them. You could buy carts and dump them of course, either with a ~$60 tool or with a Sega CD and your PC. You can get a Sega CD and a real Genesis at the flea market, of course. I think I got rid of my Sega CD already...
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Then you probably don't know anyone who lives in a country with prohibitive import tariffs on toys. If you had to pay the equivalent of 150 percent sales tax on toys, you might see how $125 comes about: $50 cost of goods plus $75 in import duty and VAT. The people of Brazil through their legislators appear to have chosen to fund the government through import duties, presumably to subsidize the building of a domestic chip fab.
VGA out, and it runs a host of old hardware. Sega, NES, Amiga, C64, Apple II, too many to mention.
And they come with a full development kit. Altera Quartus and GCC, and you can make it do pretty much anything you want.

rediculous.
Emulators are good enough. you can get USB genesis controllers. If you want the REAL thing, get the real thing and the mega everdrive. Flash cart an SD card slot to load all your games so you can play them on the real hardware, even romhacks.
I'd really like to know what hardware this has inside. It might very well be something similar to the new NES, i.e.: an ARM SOC running an emulator.
It'd be really cool if this was running on the original chips. As opposed to the NES it seems the Genesis used pretty standard hardware: A Motorola 68K, a Z80 a pretty common Yamaha sound chip.
Alas, it's probably more expensive to build a device with those chips nowadays than to use the ARM and emulator option.
And just remember kids, (D) stands for "Dolchstoss" (look it up in German history).

It seems odd to me that Sega would pick the Genesis not the Dreamcast.
I mean wasn't the Dreamcast way more iconic and popular than the Genesis?
