ZeroX-2000 –
I had my original genesis since 1989, but I’ve decided to put it (and my Nomad) away for safekeeping. While I use a variety of emulation systems I needed something cheap for my 6 year old son to bang on– I had a lot of luck with both the Gamerztek HD NES, and HD NES/SNES combo so I figured I might as well try this as well. Its actually pretty awesome, other than being HD I probably couldn’t tell the difference from a real one in a blind test. The graphics are fantastic going though HDMI. The console itself is a bit lightweight but that doesn’t really affect anything. The controllers work quite well, maybe the d-pad and buttons feel a bit loose but the control is accurate. I had planned on using real Sega controllers but its not really necessary. I just wish the cords were longer… I have tried at least 25 cartridges and they all worked– I didn’t have to clean them beforehand. They are a little difficult to insert/remove but that will probably loosen up with time. Best of all I got a dirt cheap 196-in-1 genesis cartridge from china so I’ll never have to change cartridges anyway. Add that and the system up and its a much better (and cheaper) system than buying those bad ATgames flashback things they sell at christmas.
ZeroX-2000 –
I just received this today and so far I am very impressed.
For the low cost of entry this is one impressive Genesis clone.
The System:
The system is very small and can nearly fit into the palm of your hand. It is not much larger than the game cartridges. The system is somewhat on the lighter side giving it a cheap feel, but it is visually appealing in person. The system is powered by a 5V 1.0 Micro USB adapter that plugs into the back of the system. The system is able to output to the TV via HDMI or Composite cable. I only used the HDMI cable for my testing so far, though I plan on checking out of the composite option in the future for comparison. Along the back of the console are two switches. One switch toggles between U.S. and Japanese games. The system is unfortunately not compatible with PAL releases. The second switch is for toggling between 4/3 and 16/9 viewing mode. Both modes look great on the television, though I prefer the 4/3 viewing for a more original (not stretched) gaming experience. The cartridge slot is the perfect tightness. Not too loose and not too tight. Games are able to be inserted into the console and removed without the need of any excessive force. Looks like Gamerz Tek may have adjusted the slot from their original console, which is definitely a great improvement.
The controllers:
-The controller cord length is fairly short. At only 5 feet, it does not quite reach the length I need it to. The controls are tight, responsive, and I have not noticed any lag while playing on my 55″ TCL 1080P television. The weight in the hands feels nice and the overall shape and feel of the controller brings me back to my childhood of Sega glory days. I am impressed.
In comparison, the Hyperkin Genesis clone controller has a cable length of approximately 6 1/2 feet. Both controllers feel very similar in weight and feel. The Gamerz Tek controller weighs approximately 90 grams, whereas the Hyperkin controller weighs approximately 84 grams. However, cord thickness and weight differs between the two controllers with the Gamerz Tek having a thinner/lighting cable, so weight is still very similar. I prefer the overall weight and feel of the Gamerz Tek controller personally, I just wish the cord length was more in line with the Hyperkin controllers. A cord extender could help alleviate the length issue.
The Games:
The original Minigen console was known to have a very impressive compatibility, with only a handful of non-compatible games. From my initial testing, I believe that the Minigen HD is likely identical to originally released model in terms of compatibility, which is an overall good thing.
I have tested a selection of my games so far. I will test more over the next few days and update my review accordingly.
All of the following games look, sound, and play great:
6-Pak
Aladdin
Animaniacs (some minor visual artifacts on main characters during movement. Minor annoyance only).
Columns
Desrt Demoltion
Desert Strike
Earthworm Jim
Earthworm Jim 2
Ecco the Dolphin
Flashback
Jungle Strike
Jurassic Park
Lion King
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie
Ristar
Rock N’ Roll Racing (This game sounds horrible but it always did, even on the original Genesis. The SNES version is far superior).
Rocket Knight Adventures
Separation Anxiety
Skitchin
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Spider-Man
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3
Toy Story
Urban Strike (Some audio distortion on menu / loading screen, fine in gameplay)
World of Illusion: Mickey Mouse
X-Men 2
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Some weird vertical tearing on the character selection screen over HDMI, but no artifacts while in game. This may have always been present on the original game, but just not visible on the lower resolution).
Games that did not function at all:
Ecco: The Tides of Time (This game was one of a two or three games that did not function on the original Minigen. Kind of bummed this was not fixed)
Magic School Bus (Black screen, does nothing)
Other thoughts:
-The biggest downside to the system is that it is almost too light. I could see the system pulling away from where it is seated if the controller is pulled on. Securing the system down with some two sided Velcro or by other means would help eliminate this issue.
-Switching the O/J console on the back of the console will immediately reset the game. Be careful if you are meaning to switch aspect ratios while in the middle of gameplay, as the two switches are immediately next to each other. Would have made more sense to separate them.
-I bumped the HDMI cable slightly during gameplay and the system visuals disappeared for a few seconds before coming back on the screen. After closer inspection, I had not pushed the HDMI cable in all of the way. With a little extra force, I pushed the cable in fully and tried bumping the HDMI cable again, and the image remained on screen. Make sure the cable is fully seated to avoid similar issues as I did.
In conclusion:
Overall I am very impressed so far. All of the games I have tried play and sound exactly as I remember. The graphics are now a lot more crisp and look great on the HD television. Definitely an awesome Mini Console that I will hopefully get many hours of enjoyment from. The 2-year warranty on the system provides some assurance of longevity assuming they are easy to work with if a problem ever does occur.
Note: I will update this review accordingly in a few days after getting some additional time to play with the system.
UPDATE 1: Some game compatibility updates (including an additional game that does not work).
Third Star –
I was skeptical at first, but given the fact that it was HDMI compatible and the low cost I decided to give it a try. Safe to say, this system did not disappoint, in fact it exceeded my expectations. I tried it with various cartridges and had NO issues in terms of gameplay, visuals or sound. Very easy to hook up, small compact unit with two controllers that have a nice feel to them. I love it and look forward to expanding my existing Genesis collection. Please note it only plays cartridges. I also did not have any difficulty inserting them to the unit. I would recommend to clean your cartridges first with a cotton swab and alcohol before use.
Mark Hornig –
Works perfectly and beautifully, totally a Genesis! The only issue I have is that the controller wires feel a little delicate, like the way Apple makes their cords? You know what I mean. In any case, I substituted another Genesis controller from one of those ATGames Genesis clones, and it works great, all the buttons and control pad are perfect. If you stay with the stock controller it comes with, it’s fine also, feels good and works fine; I just didn’t want to have to worry about breaking a wire by wrapping it around the controller, when I put it away. Outstanding little system.
