Title: MGD2?
Post by: KingDrool on January 20, 2006, 09:03:16 AM

What is this console?  I've never heard of it before today.  Check it out here:

It also has a PC Engine adapter:

and a SuperGrafx adapter:

Anyone have or have seen one of these things in person?

Isn't it a Megadrive/Genesis back up unit?

The MDG2 can be used on several systems pce, megadrive, and the snes. The drawback to the MDG2 is the external flash carts and modules that it uses for each system are rare to find. The MDG2 is very obsolete these days as there are better alternatives for backing up rom cartridges, but I'm not going to say where you can buy them.

Hey, thanks for the info. Like, jlued, I had no clue what MDG2 was either.
