Back in 2024, Hyperkin introduced the Mega95 portable console, capable of playing SEGA Genesis (SEGA Mega Drive) cartridges without FPGA architecture or emulation.
For a long time, the developers did not talk about this device, but today the team announced that it has completed work on the hardware, but faced delays related to the software.
Problems arose with the graphics — visual artifacts and sometimes image tearing appeared. Hyperkin employees have been trying to deal with such troubles for several months, hence the delay.
The developers believe that the current performance is unacceptable, especially for a device created for the sake of an authentic feeling from classic games. A new software build will soon be available for testing, and if the visual characteristics are perfect, then mass production of the Mega95 will begin.
This console has a 5-inch display with a 4:3 and 16:9 display mode switch, an 8-position D-Pad, various control buttons, and a docking station with ports for Genesis controllers.
