How's the CRT filter?

 

[RockmanBN]

$8.99 for a singular one-time purchase for all these Genesis games? What a deal.

 

[Dest]

Goes on sale on the eShop too for about $15

 

[MondoMega]

The emulation in this collection is shit though; don't recommend even at the price. Legitimately scamming yourself more than Nintendo are.

 

[Tobor]

Isn't the emulation quality no good though?

 

[super etrian odyssey]

the emulation isn't the best, just saying (i remember lag)

 

[maximumzero]

Don't bother with Genesis collections that aren't developed by M2, folks.

[JuicyPlayer]

The emulation didn't bother me , it's better than the deal that Nintendo is trying to sell on their service.

 

[KalBalboa]

Emulation was a non-issue for me, too. Most reviews I've read said it was fine/good.

The rewind feature alone was a great QoL perk, but the VR feature was a major charmer for me.

 

[Nano-Nandy]

Grabbed it for Series X in a previous sale!
No techie; so can't talk about emulation issues; but as a collection it is nice! Had fun with what I played; then again I beat Ninja Turtles back on NES so maybe I'm used to games that perform bad and control horrible or whatever. XD

 

[Laser Ramon]

But does it have MUSHA

M2 is usually awesome but they fucked up the Genesis Mini of all things. The input lag ruins some of the games on it for me.

 

[Ricker]

9 bucks for all of those...? not bad but I have the Genesis Mini,that I barely play outside of summer at the trailer park so I will pass...good price though.

You can at least fix that by jailbreaking it and unlocking the CPU (Shouldn't have to do that, but still...)

Whereas here you're just kinda stuck with shitty emulation period. I'd only ever recommend getting the PC version of this compilation so you can just take the ROMs and play them in a better emulation environment.

 

[BarcaTheGreat]

Tnx OP, bought for $11.99 CAD... plus tax (man I miss pre-July no tax psn purchases)

This was my immediate concern. Feels like Genesis collections always have this issue.

 

[Atom]

Can you dump the roms from this? Obvs not on console but PC?

 

[CatAssTrophy]

Input lag on this version renders it unplayable for me. Streets of Rage 2 was the first thing I tried and I couldn't time anything even after 10 minutes or so to see if I could adjust.

 

[2Blackcats]

Input lag wasn't an issue for me but I only played the 2 shining forces so far

 

[Regiruler]

But does it have MUSHA

Click to shrink...

Exactly. MUSHA is worth about $5 per letter. So $25. Caps lock isn't cheap.

(MUSHA aleste is legit incredible tbh but I already have it on Wii)

 

[Desma]

The sound lag is pretty unbearable to me

 

[DPB]

There's a folder called "uncompressed ROMs," rename them to .bin and they should run in any other emulator.

That is what I was going to ask about when I saw this thread. Disappointing to hear.

 

[Servbot24]

Does each game have a platinum trophy?

Awesome. Wishlisted. Wish more devs did this with collections.

I platinumed this and played through most of the games on here....it's fine. It isn't some top tier M2 product or anything but still more than fine.

Click to shrink...

Nope just one for the whole thing.

 

[Damien1990]

I think this is the trophy list. Just one platinum for all.

Each game should have a platinum trophy though.

That would be awesome and everything but a collection like this isn't ever going to have that because all of the games are as one download it isn't like the rare replay collection for instance that allows you to download each game individually.

the platinum trophy should be unlocked when you beat Alex Kidd in Enchanted Castle without dying.

Also this compilation has crappy emulation and is really hard to play. my patented lag input test of "can I reliably pull of a double jump in Shinobi III" failed so it is conclusive.

 

[OneThirtyEight]

I just bought this, psysical, to get a Streets of Rage poster.
Sound emulation is terrible.

 

[Valcrist]

Unless they fixed the issues, this is pretty much the worst way to experience these games. The lag is terrible, audio is fucked.

yeah, i sort of remember hearing that but the input lag itself was enough for me lol

 

[Sayuz]

Includes VR support

Click to shrink...

Hmm. That legitimately has me interested. Checked out some videos of it, and looks neat, but most of these are games I've either played a million times already, or have no interested in. Even with VR making it a "new" experience, I'm not sure if it's enough for me to bite, especially if the emulation isn't the best as people say.
