Anyone tried out Radica's Sega Genesis TV games?

I got the Street Fighter II one which comes with Ghouls N Ghost, both are Sega Genesis version of those game. And the emulation is perfect, infact the picture quality looks like a Sega Genesis game. In fact I don't know if they actually emulate it, or just use a Genesis on a chip type thing, sorta like NOAC but better. These games are genesis perfect ports.

Genesis on a chip is a lot easier than NES on a chip. Sega used off-the-shelf parts almost exclusively in the Genny, so the components are largely well-documented standard pieces.

 

 

And Sega's also been known to license the hardware out before(see Genesis 3), so I wouldn't be surprised if they were using a Sega-designed chip anyways.

Funny as a more powerful system manages to get a perfect Genesis on a Chip, and that there isn't a NES perfect on a chip.

Like I said, the Genesis is mostly well-documented standard parts, and the NES is mostly proprietary custom chips.

 

 

Power's really got very little to do with the ease of cloning.

In fact its got the famous genny blurryness effect like I said in my other topic. Man I can't believe how perfect this Radica Genesis TV Plug in games is.
