Songa II Megadrive Clone....

Got a hold of this Taiwanese made Songa II MD/Genesis clone system....Its almost exactly the same as the Aito/Scorpion clone with just a minor differences here and there, one beign the different upper shell design ;) ...Although when put side by side they do look very much alike, same size, and with the same built-in region switches mechanisms as well , just like the Aito/Scorpion...

According to some sources, this model came with 2- 6 button wireless infrared remote controllers..It has controller ports for wired controllers too...My system has what appears to be a built-in infrared window port, but I haven't check for any wireless hardware within the board neither I happen to have the wireless controllers....

It features the region switches known as the "Universal Cartridge System" for all of the different configuration settings (MD/Genesis/PAL/NTSC), RF output, Audio/Video jacks, front stereo phone jack with volume slider, power On/Off/Reset button, and of course the important blast processing....Another Megadrive/Genesis Super Clone, beautifully done..

:sonic: approves this machine....


...

So what is the hardware inside it, and how is its compatibility?

thats one awesome clone :ok:

Give us a run-through, how well does it work?

That actually looks pretty nice..

Do you know when it was released, and what differences the "Turbo" one has compared to the other machine?

the IR part intrigues me ^^

thats pretty sweet - although im not sure on the buttons or the slider....but yeh, cool!

Any chance of a pic of the guts? Especially the built in IR reciever, very intriguing. I wonder if you could play 4 player games without a 4 way adapter - 2 IR pads and 2 plugged?

Investigate!!!

I don't think that would be the case. More then likely it doesn't does have a multitab built in, the IR just translates into port 1 and port 2 wireless. Though if this were true it would be SWEEEEET!

Compatibility wise, its great...Plays just about any game having the built-in region switches...And most importantly, it is compatible with all of the pirate Megadrive/Genesis games :p ...

I'll snap some board pics when I get home...

...

wohoo :D

I see these are modeled after the model 1 console. How are they size comparison wise?

It's beautiful. :love:

The Aito and Songa II are exactly the same size (smaller than an actual MD/Genesis 1)...Here's a video of the Aito running the Sega CD, just so you get an idea how big they are:




I still got to get those pics when I get home :ok:

....

so far that looks very sweet
