S.C.G Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Well, I'd say that I'm half-prepared for my Mega SG to arrive tomorrow, in the end I've just opted for clearing my desk, taking out my Super NT for now and just using the leads from it. When I get more properly set up, I will of course connect the unit to my original Sega Mega CD II and I'll take a picture of my Sega Shelf when it's photo-worthy. For now, I just want to be able to play Sega Mega Drive games on it, with some of my original controllers, just playing the odd game inbetween everything else. One thing is for sure though, when I get my room sorted and get rid of a load of stuff, I'll hopefully be playing a lot more Sega games in 2019. It's time to truly appreciate what games I have, while I can and there's surely no better time than the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 This video just popped up in my YouTube feed, it's on Castle of Illusion mainly but features some of the other Disney games on the Mega Drive. If it hasn't been posted before, I figured at least @Happenstance and @Hero-of-Time might enjoy watching it. It certainly brought back some memories for me and it'll certainly be nice to play some of these classics once again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. I was never a huge fan of Castle of Illusion. Quackshot and World of Illusion were more my jam. Looks like the My Life in Gaming guys will be taking a good look at Mega SG.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Has your Mega SG arrived yet, @Happenstance? I see a few people on Era have received theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking says it should be here by 12 noon. I'm working from home today anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was gonna be pissed if I would have had to worked out a second day or working from home. Updating the firmware now. Everyone needs to make sure they do that so the pack in game works! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, glad that you got your Mega SG in the end. MIne arrived too but not time to play until later as I'm back to work today. I shall take pictures of the outer box, console etc though, so look out for those later on maybe. I din't know that the firmware had to be updated for the pack-in game to work... guess I'll be doing that later then, time to unbox! p.s - I hope you have fun playing Mega Drive games!

Happenstance Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Think I'm starting to notice a few issues with button presses on the M30 not registering. Gonna have to try and update the firmware I was talking about yesterday. Just need to find a screwdriver that can work on the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The update ran fine as soon as I managed to find a screwdriver small enough for the receiver. If anyone wants it then let me know and I'll put it somewhere for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll want to make sure they didn't list it as two there otherwise you'll get hit with extra import fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedex have screwed up, the "Sold To" label is for someone else but it looks like what are the Fedex labels are in my name. Not sure if I should contact Fedex or Analogue, it wasn't even for this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Might tweet them, I heard their email support is kinda slow. Might include Fedex as well. Guess someone's not getting their Mega Sg today. Btw, what are you using as a power supply seeing as it came with a US adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedEx are going to pick up the second package. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just got a text message from FedEx. £41.15 import fee which is roughly what I paid last year with DHL for the Super NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 There's the import tax text. I've not been charged for both going by @Happenstance's earlier post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
