Ok, lot of delay between my posts... In fact, we had several problem (especialy one, figured out monday : the flash chip was no more 5V friendly without notice from the manufacturer)...
So yesterday, we fixed all... Two months of full horror and cdr waste disapeared :P
We had to change design, software and pcb to fit with a good flash chip (bit more expensive, sadely).
Also, i found 650MB cdr's for the ppl that have old model1 segacd (outch, hard to find).
I hope i can give you great news soon :)
I want one too! Which games Do not work from U.S to PAL ?
I bought a datel cdx cart and was told only some games can be played ??
Is there an actual list anywhere?
I found that 700MB CD-R's work fine with my Model 1 and 2 systems...
I also would be interested in buying one of these. Do you have a release date estimate yet? Are we talking weeks or months here?
Very soon. :)
Since we couldn't get very early segacd1 models to read our CDR discs, we decided to *officialy drop support* of the utility disc for model1 hardware.
Of course, this bad news do not affect the fallowing megacart features:
-Run any region discs on any region segacd and models
-Backup / save the segacd internal save
We did that for three reasons:
-Some very early segacd model1 have major hardware crash when having a cdr inside (you need to open it to take out the disc). We cannot take risk having costumer with discs locked inside their segacd.
-The utility disc shipped with megacart is just here in case its content gets erased (this can happen after 50years, in theory). If user want to include its own ROMS, he can burn one disc himself and take risk himself.
-You can upgrade/upload roms using the computer adaptater.
Haha, well, i'm sorry to annonce this but we tried 2 cdrom burner, several cdr brands, 700 and 650 MB with negative results on our early japanese megacd1. I wasted like 50 CDR to check all... And several months of adjustements with my tototek contact... We started final checking routines today.

Hi,
Nope, i don't have any list... I just heard thunderhawk was protected.
700MB CD-R's work fine on my US Model 1 AND 2 Sega CD systems. In any case... if I couldn't use it with my Model 1, that's OK. I only use my Model 1 system when I want to play in stereo and as a backup console.
Even if it is unsupported, will you still publish the software for the end user?
Yeah, all software included compatible with all models.
If you want to risk a loading on early segacd1 model... no problem :)
In fact, as you said, most model1 systems handle the CDR, but the one that don't just crash with disc inside (no way to remove the disc exept dissassembling the hardware).
That is why we cannot officialy support this model, thx for your understand :)
The megacart homepage is my browser's home.
WOAaaaah !
Great news !
how long does the mega cd fan wait for this ? 12 years ?
f*** these bad cdx or + adapters !!!!
do you now something about the compatibly with the amstrad mega pc ?
(link in my sig)
the computer requieres a boot cart to work with a mega cd...
i think i have the best chance with your cart
great work !
yeah i own the datel cdx cart also it sucks very much it doesnt work wit my cdx nor with my sega cd 2.
Sometimes, datel cdx don't work when 32x attached...
"do you now something about the compatibly with the amstrad mega pc ?

I know about this computer but I never known it was possible to play segacd games with it...
"the computer requieres a boot cart to work with a mega cd...

great work !"
Ha, thx... i see, WOW...
Well, you mean that the megapc don't boot segacd bios?
Then my cart can force a boot from segacd bios... however, if hardware isn't exactly same as real genesis/segacd combo => big bang, you know...
So, any news on this coming out soon?
I kind of condensed my Genesis setup, so my Model 1 CD unit is in storage... If that's a good or bad thing, let me know, but if you need some testing for when this comes out, please let me know. :)
Oh yeah, is the utility disc you can download the same as the one you can buy with the adaptor?
If so, I'd just d/l and burn it and save some money.
Hi, the website gonna be updated :)
In fact ,the utility disc is inclued into the megacart packaging for free :) no need to save money for it :)
And yeah, the one you can download is the same as the one sold.
Thx for the testing proposition... i'm really worried about mode1 units and CDR... if your model can read CDR, it is great :)
I'm waiting for the final customer version (so i can validate all is working good and if packaging is great)...
We had to use another model of flash chip (twice more expensive, unfortunately, this wont affect the product price, normaly) , so i'm excited to know if all is working perfect now :)
