Megacart, the ultimate utility cart for your segacd/megacd

[Fonzie]

"Paypal has a credit card option normally. you can use the money available as a loan from a bank via a credit card through paypal."
Umm, when you buy it, you can chose "use my paypal account" or "click here to pay with your credit cart directly" (bottom). Thx.

"I think it can act as a RAM cart, ED."
It doesn't act directly as a ram cart, however it can backup up to 16 times the segacd backup ram... In a far more secure way than the official backup ram btw.
Moreover, you can get (using the megacart adaptater) back your saves to your computer to continue playing with an emulator.

The backup feature is just about as useful.
I was just told I couldn't use anything but PayPal.
I just bought one.

I'm unsure of using straight email to send personal info, though.

i think paypal credit cards feature will only work if you have a verified account (for non US) as well as verified address. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and the credit card option worked fine.

Can I play fan-translated ROMs via the Megacart? (Of course I'll buy the original games first)

this is how i tell if the Genesis can play hacked ROMs: If KEGA Fusion can't run it, the real hardware most likely won't..

(Gens was Hack friendly, but Fusion is more hardware "realistic")

I'm fully verified, I just used the CC option as if I had no account.

....It might be because I just got a new card. Same account, but the old one expired, and PayPal removed it like a month ahead of the expiration...weird.

In any case, I sent the moolah.

Will it work with 32x cd titles?

I must admit I'm wary of ordering things from abroad during the holiday season, but you'll be getting my money soon anyway Fonzie

edit: what the hell, just ordered the full megacart set and the Transfer Suite Cable

edit2: Why did I need to send a confirmation email to Tototek for both items? Surely the delivery address is shown in the Paypal notice? I sent the confirmation emails from my 'personal' address, not the address I use for Paypal, is all. I hope I don't confuse the Tototek people

[TheGZeus]

I never sent confirmation, but a few days later I got confirmation of shipment,

[Fonzie]

Yo all
Thx for your ordering... I heard the first orders would be received next week , hah

Confirmation email is asked so you can confirm your adress and phone number.

"Will it work with 32x cd titles?"
Hard to say... If your megadrive and 32x are switched, it may work... If you only have your megadrive swiched it ***may*** work... If you don't have anything swiched, it ******may****** work... I'm sorry, each 32xCD games are different, they will boot but they are probably protected at an upper level. i can't check myself.
I suggest to wait a bit until someone checked for you.

Thx

i think it's like this (haven't messed with 32X CD titles)..

if the 32X is modded with PAL/NTSC switches, it "will" work.. the 32X overlays it's graphics onto the sync from the Genesis, but it has to know what to expect---and the correct region identifier.. (same mod).. the switch only needs to be done to play PAL games on NTSC 32X's, or NTSC games on PAL 32X's...

If it's NTSC to NTSC, no mod should be required (as long as the sega CD BIOS is bypassed with the multibios, the only check the 32X has is a frequency check)

[ary incorparated]

how can i buy one,i dont have a pay pal and id rather dont want to order al the way from hong kong i thinlk it wil cost to much time and 2nd i dont trust it when its ben send in a package over such distance,is there a other way a closer way to buy one,im from holland BTW .

[Fonzie]

Hi ary.
The only actual way is to buy using paypal (you don't even have to register a paypal account)... Shipping is around one week (sometimes two weeks). As for shipping security, there is more chance that the parcel will lost for a french>holland than hongkong>holland.

Also, paypal is secure for buyers, if there is a problem, you will be refund.

Some shops may sell megacart one day... but they will be twice the price i think.

evildragon > yeah, that's how the 32x games are protected.

[Elusive]

:words:

So the 32X can be switchmodded the same way the Mega Drive can be dual-switchmodded? How's it done?

I really need to learn more about the 32X and Mega-CD's hardware capabilities.

edit: Both items posted on the 16th. Fingers crossed

[evildragon]

It's a hard mod, and even more hard to understand.. If you use RGB output, your safe.. If you use NTSC/PAL output, you're still screwed with bad color..
