Craftsman assembled Sega Game Gear with his own hands



    A fairly well-known figure in the world of modding, who communicates on the corresponding resources under the nickname “lovablechevy”, recently introduced his own version of Game Gear, assembled by himself. No, this is not a portable and slightly “dopped” console, not bought on E-bay, here, in fact, everything is assembled by one’s own hands. This device supports both original Game Gear games and SEGA Master System games. I wonder if games are supported with MegaDrive | Genesis? In the sequel - some video and configuration information.



    By the way, on the announcement photo - the game "Phantasy Star". I played in all parts except the first, and this seems to be exactly how the first. Has anyone played this part? I liked the second most. This is just a gorgeous game, at one time hours and days spent with friends ...

    So, this device is equipped with a 5-inch display, batteries, a new case and other goodies. In order to reduce the power consumption of the device, the modder has changed a lot in the design. By the way, for every fireman I bring the configuration of the original device (infa taken from Wikipedia ):

    Processor : Zilog Z-80, clock frequency 3.6 MHz.
    RAM : 24 Kbytes of main memory, 16 Kbytes of video memory.
    Sound : 4 channels (3 voices, 1 noise). The sound of each channel can be shifted left or right to obtain pseudo-stereo sound.
    Screen: 3.2 inches, backlit. Resolution 160 x 146, 20 x 18 cells, 8 x 8 each (visible part); 256 x 224, 32 x 28 cells of 8 x 8 each (total resolution): the number of colors in the 4096 palette, the number of colors displayed simultaneously up to 32.

    By the way, the modder has built a big battery in its device, each portable device has such a capacious battery: 5700 mA is enough for 6 hours of continuous play. To protect against sudden shutdown of the device, there is a special LED that starts flashing when the battery is low. So you can manage to survive.

    This “samizdat” is shown in detail in the video below.
