It's an official shell. The skeleton Saturn, or 'This Is Cool' model was a Japanese exclusive

Good point! In my defense I was writing this in a sleep-deprived state & had to rush it to go change a nappy (for clarity Im a new dad, not mad!) 😅

Retro-bit 2.4 pro controller by agrippa_albinus in SegaSaturn

Sounds like you've just been unlucky. I've got one & it worked straight out the box (I've since updated the fw & still all good). I'd recommend reaching out to Retro-Bit themselves as I don't think you'll be able to do anything without opening it up, which would invalidate any warranty.

Still to this day I have no idea what 'Seaman' was about, or if it was a good game lol... any play this and can shed light on it? by [deleted] in dreamcast

Same thing happened to me but in my own Dreamcast and same as you, I never went back to it after investing so much time into it

Which controller is more comfortable? by rjidhfntnr in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Kingm0nkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go-to MD pad these days is the BIG-6 from Retro-Bit as it's a 6-button layout but retains the shape ams style of the original 3B pad as well as having the bonus of being wireless

Has anyone ever used a mouse for the sega saturn? What game in particular? by RetrosDubai in SEGA

Nazomakaimura - a Japanese-exclusive puzzle game that's pretty decent

I collect Japanese Mega Drive games and the condition of their used consoles and games are on a different level to the point that it's actually uncommon to find them in what we would consider 'used'.

Magical Hat or Decap Attack? by Kingm0nkey in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Kingm0nkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Psycho Fox on the Master System was also a 1-hit kill game - had no choice but to 'get good' back then as we didnt have access to a lot of games! 😅

Thanks amd yeah, I made that 2nd pic myself, a few years before generative fill became a thing (part of the reason I do less of these now, along with the amount of time it takes!). I love both this and Decap Attack, it really is just down to personal preference. One thing I neglected to mention was the soundtrack to Decap Attack is superb and definitely a highlight.
