Need some help 112 in 1 Genesis cartridge

[kyle]

Just got my 112 In 1 Genesis cartridge today in the mail I do not have a real genesis just the cheap dollar store version the 2014 model I believe it is and then I have a Retron 5. Neither one will play it. I can only go on the game select screens but it won't let me play any of the games when I hit start to select a game the screen just like flickers and the music restarts . Is something wrong with the cartridge or do I need a real genesis because emulation can't read it? If you're not familiar with the cart this is it. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32759296346.html

If you're trying to run Roms, why are you going about it in the most absurd way possible?

Thanks for the help

Buy a Pi zero, throw every Genesis game on there and stop messing around with garbage

[kyle]

I just want to know if I have a defective cartridge I need to send back or if I just need to pick up a real Genesis to play it .

AFAIK the retron can only play real carts, no boots, multis or homebrew, as it has to copy the actual ROM to itself to play (at least thats how I remember it works, my retron has been boxed up for a while now).

 

By "cheap dollar store" do you mean the AT games one?

[kyle]

Yes the AT Games one. It won't play it either

[keepdreamin]

Work smarter, not harder. You have a chain of garbage in that setup.

 

Send the cart back, use the 25 bucks for a Pi zero setup.

 

Right now you're basically asking why you can't change a car tire with the Fisher Price wrench you bought. I'm trying to tell you to get a tire iron

If the cart works, which may not be the case, then you probably need a real Genesis for it to function.

Send it to somebody else with a real genesis and test it. Then you know. Or get a real genesis off ebay for cheap. You don't have to have the real ac adapter either. I use a generic powerline 1300mhaf from Walmart and it works fine.

Only 5.95 bucks and 7.60 shipping not bad and he says tested.

You mean a bootleg cart from an unknown source won't run on a Rite-Aid system that's known to struggle with actual games?

 

No kidding, really?

I can't say for sure if the cartridge is bad or not, but I would test on an original genesis before claiming it's defective. You may be able to bring it to a local game store and see if they'll let you test it. I will gladly test it for you, but it would cost shipping both ways.

Why do people still buy the AtGame Genesis?

 

Do they not know it's crap

Not too mention a bootleg multi cart to go with it. That's like taking a dump on an existing pile of poop.

Kyle, the only multicart or flashcart I'm aware of that works with the AtGames unit is a Firecore compatible one like this:

I had one for a while on mine and worked as advertised.
