If you had to get rid of one...

Don't like the aspect ratio? Or the flicker? Or is the the music timing?

There's a significant number of games that play with less slowdown in 50 Hz due to the greater amount of DMA time (along with some other factors). Granted there's the issues with games that used the vblank timer for tempo and others (far less often) with actual gameplay speed problems due to such timing, but less so in later games. (it really depends on how the music is timed and whether it's been corrected if vblank was used for timing)

In this day and age, it's not much of a choice. The nomad is ~$100 loose. The Genny/MD is ~$4.

It's like asking, do I get rid of one Sega Genesis/MD unit? Or of twenty five of them at once?

If you want money, then you won't loose your ability to play Genny/MD games by selling your nomad.

If you want space, then you won't get any money by selling your Genny/MD. :(

I'll be keeping the Nomad, no doubt

The Nomad is quite sexy but I can't play streefighter on that crappy d-pad. See ya Nomad!

I'm going to have to look into that. I can only stand de/resoldering caps for short jaunts.

And oh yeah, I'd keep my launch model Genesis 1 in a heartbeat. Nothing sounds better than that thing, plus it's fun to look at.

What? Are you kidding me?
Those things eat batteries, aren't really all that portable (even less so than the original "brick" GameBoy), and the small screen gives me a headache.
Not really a choice, is it?

Lol, everyone forget that the Nomad can run off of a Mega Drive/Genesis 2 ac adapter? It's goes back and forth between being a portable and a home console (with the av out and 2nd controller port) so go figure. It's like a model 2 but condensed with clear stereo sound and correct me if I'm wrong, not a bad video encoder.

I only use the Nomad with an AC adapter, and I would agree that the AV output is better than a Genesis 2. The quality of the video output is also better than my Genesis 1, sound is another issue though.

Wait, whut?!?

Considering I only have the genesis, it's an easy pick.

6'3". But I'm a nice guy though, so if you want to keep both go ahead! I'm keeping both mine too.

He sure does. He did mine with the battery mod too, did a great job and was very friendly.

Be cool though, wouldn't it? Even if only for a few minutes.

Yeah I've been wanting to play Sonic CD on something portable for a while now.

I'd love it if the Pandora could run Fusion, that would be the end of all portable Sega problems for me.
