Happenstance Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 What version did you order @S.C.G? Someone on Era mentioned their White one has shipped but not their Japanese one so I’m wondering if they are shipping by type. I also ordered the Japanese one.

Yep, I went with the black Mega SG but with the white buttons, keeping it as close to the UK MegaDrive 1 as possible.

Happenstance Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Shame though that they have switched from the original promise of DHL delivery to FedEx as DHL let’s you change your delivery day.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 My latest retro purchase arrived today. Spoiler I've been after one for ages and this has been on eBay for quite a while now but because everything thing is as new/mint condition it was quite pricey. With eBay giving 15% off of videogame purchases on Wednesday evening, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. With old game consoles not playing nice with modern displays I really wanted the LCD screen and I wanted it with the original film still attached. I couldn't be happier with the condition this is in. It's practically brand new. Now I need to hunt down a PSOne memory card that matches the colour scheme and is in similar condition to the console. 1 2
Happenstance Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 But why are you posting that in the Mega Drive thread? 2
Happenstance Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Next 4 replacement boxes arrived. 3 are fine but unfortunately they sent 1bas Spider-Man & Venom Separation Anxiety instead of Sonic 3. Hoping they just send out a replacement cover.
Ike Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Mega SG shipped, delivery estimate is Monday, hype! Little annoyed they switch from DHL to Fedex but not a big deal. @Hero-of-Time you always seem to manage to find good buys on eBay. I used to have one of those types of screens for the Gamecube although I never really used. 2
Happenstance Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Turns out FedEx do allow you to change delivery day after all. Lets me do it from a link in their text message. Tempted to just leave it for Monday though and take the day off so I can play it

I read it as, they would deliver it by Monday but it could just arrive earlier. I wonder if they'd just deliver it tomorrow?

Really I should change it to Wednesday as it's my day off work and I'll be around.

I'm just going to leave it as it is and see when it turns up. I could do with the extra day or two to prepare anyway.

I just live in the middle of nowhere and don't drive so have had bad experiences with post not getting to me or going to a depot etc. I tend to try and plan ahead for stuff like this. 1
Happenstance Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 For anyone getting the Mega SG next week there are already firmware updates out there. https://support.analogue.co/hc/en-us/articles/360024836892-Mega-Sg-Firmware-Update-v4-2 1
Happenstance Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Unless I see some stupidly good deals I'm probably done on eBay for now so I'm updating my list again.

Happenstance Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Any of you with the M30 controller been able to update the firmware on it yet? I'm not managing to get it to go into update mode (holding L, R and Start) to install it.

They don't specify on the website so I would assume it's for both, but I can't get the LEDs to go red when holding L+R+Start.
Happenstance Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Well I've just emailed support to ask so I'll let you know what they say.
Happenstance Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Having a drink while using rubbing alcohol is dangerous. I keep almost reaching for the wrong bottle...

Ok support got back to me. Apparently you update the 2.4 version differently and they sent me the beta firmware if I wanted to try it. One thing though is that to update the retro receiver that comes with it you unscrew the shell to get to the USB port. Edited March 24, 2019 by Happenstance

There's no mention of their being a different update method on the website, despite stating the manual is for the 2.4g version. Having to remove the shell is a real bad design decision, I'm not sure I have the correct screwdriver. My Mega Sg status is "International shipment release - Import" have I dodged paying customs or is that still coming?

My Mega Sg status is "International shipment release - Import" have I dodged paying customs or is that still coming? You have to update both the controller and the receiver separately. My Mega SG has been stuck on "In Transit, Package Available for Clearance" since 8.03pm yesterday. I'm just waiting for something to change so I know it's coming tomorrow and I can confirm with my boss that I'll work from home. Someone on Era said they got a text yesterday confirming their customs fees and it was £70 for two SGs.
