I think people change the LED's simply because its an easy 'mod' to do. I find the blue LED obsession rather ridiculous, I suppose it makes sense for a Sega console given that Sega's logo is blue, sonic is blue etc, but people stick blue LED's in any old console sega or not for some reason. Guess its just a case of following the heard.
The LED on my computer speakers is blue, and the damn thing is very annoying distraction. I guess it looks 'cooler' than a red LED would, but at least the red one wouldn't be so bright and blinding.Quote:

Screw LEDs. They're for pussies. I just installed a 12K xenon bulb in my Genesis (that's 12,000 watts). That's what they use for IMAX projectors.
Yes. Nothing like being blinded by a light thats there just to tell you the system is on...
Two uses for that (aside from playing Genesis games):Quote:

LED's are pussy for sure, I quit rockin those long time ago, played out..So my friend has a projector and took his x-box into an abandoned warehouse and projected emulated games like 30 feet tall and they drank beer and played turrican( I sadly didn't make it out). Next time im gonna go with and take the dreamcast and maybe the nomad. We are gonna prime the wall white with some rollers and paint first. This is to me at least what hardcore gaming is really about. Maybe I'll start doing that urban gymnastics parcore shit and just climbing up abandoned buildings all ninja style and then gaming on some crazy next level shit. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this stuff in the future days to come. I'll get the fad started on youtube and then it will go worldwide. I'll use the dreamcast fishing reel like a nunchuk but my face will be covered with a bandana. If I was real hardcore I would start a thread on here asking the simple question: How hardcore is your gaming? I bet people on here are likecrazy hardcore, Like I got a laseractive..Who the hell actually goes and buys a laseractive, it rediculous. My friends don't know shit about retro gaming collections and their just like Dude your room is nuts!
Even RegalSinSizzler, one of the worst posters to haunt the internet, used the ENTER key.
I would have made MegaDrive/Genesis based exactly on Sega's System 16B arcade board from 1986.
i.e.
68000 @ 10 MHz (instead of 7.6 Mhz)
color palette: 32,768 (instead of 512)
max colors on screen: 1596 (instead of 64)
sprites: 128 (instead of 80)
background layers: 2 (like Genesis)
limited hardware scaling & zooming (Genesis had none)
Work RAM: 128K (instead of 64K)
VRAM: 128K (instead of 64K)
All based on 1986 technology.
This would give the Genesis the ability to handle 100% exact carbon-copy arcade-perfect ports of Shinobi, Fantazy Zone, Alien Syndrome, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, ESWAT, Cotton, etc.
Although the Sega Super-Scaler games that use two or three 68000 CPUs and more advanced graphics hardware, would still have to be scaled back for Genesis. Games like Space Harrier, OutRun, AfterBurner II, ThunderBlade, Super Hang-On, Galaxy Force II, etc. but better conversions could've been achieved even with System16B level of power.
So...you're saying you didn't want the system to be affordable, right?Quote:

STOP IT!! JUST STOP IT!! :( My Genesis is just fine, if you people want all those damn fancy high falootin thingys just get a damn xbox or something. Don't change what was great...we have the Sega CD for scaling and rotation and if you don't like it then too bad. The things the Genesis lacks make it cool and if you think I'm nuts then F*** you! You want better sound/color/rotation then get a SNES GOSH!
But seriously...I would like S-Video and I'm strongly considering getting my Genesis I modded..
I suppose we could have done without the 32X...but I love that gold color...
