SentaiBrad Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The Sega MegaDrive and Sega Genesis are exactly the same. Just name changes and some console differences. Akin to Famicom vs NES. Just hardware alterations. 32x and CD are a peripheral. While I like them separate do they need to be? BSX SNES games I count as SNES games.

Maddoc1007 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 While the 32x was a peripheral it had its own processors Two Hitachi SH2 32-bit RISC processors with a clock speed of 23 MHz as well as 256kb ram. Although the Genesis and the MegaDrive are the same for most of the world it was called the Genesis but in Japan it was known as the Megadrive a name i think to go with what they were familiar with and appeal to them such as Mega Godzilla etc and so anyone using the Japanese games would probably like the inclusion of MegaDrive.

True, and it had its own damn power cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Anything Sega related that has Mega in it, is an alternate name used in Japan and Europe. It's like Famicom to NES. Maybe an alternate name category? But certainly not a brand new one. Where as Famicom Disk System, Sega 32X etc are all separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi Brad, I'd rather just include them all to make people happy. That way it's easiest for the user (and I don't have to develop a whole customized system to choose which platform name you'd like displayed).

Kriven Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I did the Wii U metadata the other night. I intended on doing some of the other missing consoles, but... uh... well who can do work with all those games just sitting there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hehehehe. I haven't added Martin's latest round of metadata yet, but I believe we have all that we need. I'll confirm once I get it all into LaunchBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
