Is there a good either video or article out there that goes into what the Sega Genesis could do technically and the sort of things developers came up with to get around its limitations?

I just got done watching this neat demo video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeGdJk5zb6c

and realize that while I know a reasonable amount of stuff about NES/SNES hardware, I basically don't know a thing about the Genesis.

Ideally something like the ultimate game boy talk is what I'm looking for.

Since you say you're familiar with NES/SNES, the obvious answer is that Sega does what Nintendon't.

The back of the cartridge provides a small but potentially misleading clue: the Acclaim logo. It suggests a title published by Acclaim, but this might not be the case. These cartridges apparently housed all sorts of late-in-the-game Sega Genesis releases, so that widens the list of suspects.

Well, you can change your guess. It's most likely one of Majesco's reissues of an older Sega game, and they had a bunch of titles.

https://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?50615-Majesco-reissues-for-Genesis&p=553280&viewfull=1#post553280

The OP here seems really mad about Majesco's re-releases. Maybe someone tore off the label in disgust.

Oooh, this is fun. But here's thing thing, it's pretty likely to be a Mortal Kombat game that some kid took the label off of to hide it from mom. Of the things that aren't, NBA Jam is the most likely option just due to sheer popularity. That said, I'll go for the off the wall option and say Alien 3.

Of course they're out of stock. I would sell my firstborn for a YPbPr cable for SNES, holy loving poo poo.

Gonna have to watch their store like a hawk because I need that cable.

Just be aware you still need a TV that works with 240p content. It won't work everything.

Yeah I'm aware and I'm testing my TVs now.

Its out of stock anyways so I'll go with the s-video converter I just ordered for the meantime.

I'm probably going to cave and get a SCART setup at some point here but that Framemeister is just expensive enough to give me serious pause.

It doesn't scale well cost wise if you want component on many systems, but ok for just one or two I guess.

Get yourself added to their mailing list if you're interested.

As someone else mentioned, they don't work for every TV. There's a way to test it out beforehand though:

I have one and I like it for the simplicity of it. I only want to play SNES and eventually N64 games so it's perfect for me.
