Genesis clone machine -- anyone seen these?

That looks pretty cool.

I've seen the Scorpion before:

YouTube video of it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg-E2jXVx5k

I remember a few magazines banning them from being listed in the classified ads for fear of action from SEGA.

Ah, those were the days :D

I'd rather have a Genesis/MegaDrive than a Scorpion. At least I can get RGB out of the real deals without modding.

My clone that had same chips as Scorpion didn't need any modding to get RGB.. all connectors were same, but the quality of signals was higher, seriously !!!

The Scorpion's RF out quality was far above and beyond that of a stock Mega Drive.

Not just RF, composite is too... RGB is same

The Scorpion couldn't take the 32X or the Mega CD. That proves it is inferior to the original.

My clone with same chips as scorpion had would have supported both... all signals were 100% functional... even the SMS mode worked without a problem. But due to power failure I have a dead machine :( :( :(

Just because it had the same chips as the Scorpion doesn't mean that it was exactly the same as the Scorpion. The Scorpion didn't have RGB out, and if it did the pin configuration was all wrong because the 32X could not work with it. I'll take the real deal over some bootleg trash.

I'd take the real deal too, but 7 years ago I had nothing else (and no possibility for anyting else)... my clone had very good RGB out on a same connector just like my early MD1s without TMSS have. But all my systems will go through a connector pinout mod, since I use same cable on all my systems.

Whoa, been a while since I've posted.

Anyway. I always liked to play around with Famiclones, but I never tried any of the Genesis Clones. I have the Neo Fami (Yobo FC Game Console) and Generation Nex and I've played with a Polystation.

Would be an interesting article if anyone would be willing to collect and compare these things. I heard something about an SNES and Genesis combo machine. What I wouldn't have done for that when I was a kid.
