Sabertooth Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Another 7800 sd cart enters the ring. This time it's the RetroHQ 7800GD. If you're not familiar with RetroHQ, he's the person behind the JaguarGD and LynxGD. By the looks of it, thus is the most full featured 7800 SD cart - and peripheral - ever!

OniDensetsu Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 How much of the original chipset is this device using? Is it all FPGA emulation or? DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 "GD" is a good name for this thing because that's what I exclaimed upon reading about it! We'll have to keep our eyes open to know when this becomes available for purchase. Sabertooth and DegasElite 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much just the power, CPU, controller logic functions of the console. The video output is simulated based on the cartridge data being executed. It works similar to how Krikzz Famicom RGB blaster cartridge works providing RGB from a Famicom without console modification. That is also how all of the audio options are able to work as well. It will be a very impressive device once released and that release time is near. One word to mention is that the RGB output is just that RGB output only. Even though there is a Sega 9-pin mini din being used, it doesn't provide composite output and instead has c-sync on that pin so that other cables can be used that need it. Like HDRetrovision cables and the Rad2X for instance.

Sabertooth Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 I use an HD Retrovision Genesis cable for my Jaguar through a RetroTink 2xPro. Total game changer. It will be fun to play with this. DegasElite and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Wow! RGB via the cartridge! That's definitely a selling point for me. I just got a Sony TV which has been modded for RGB input. Sabertooth, RickR and DegasElite 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DegasElite Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I don't know if it is ready for sale yet. It looks like SainT is searching for third-party retailers at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossBow Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 They will be available through Stone Age Gamer as Trek linked above, but they will also be in the AA store as well in time. I suspect they might be cheaper in the AA store for those willing to wait. I've added my email of course but not sure if I will be able to get in on the initial batch of them once they get released to the masses.
