'SuperSega' FPGA Console: A Comprehensive Sega Experience

A team of dedicated Spanish Sega fans is working on creating an innovative console named 'SuperSega'. This console promises to offer a wide range of gaming experiences by replicating the performance and features of various classic Sega systems, including Mega Drive / Genesis, Master System, SC-3000, SG-1000, Saturn and Dreamcast. The use of a Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA chip is aimed at providing accurate and efficient emulation across these consoles.

  • Emulation Features

    • WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity
    • SD card slot
    • CD / DVD reader / writer in the optical drive
    • Eight joystick ports for original Sega controllers,
    • USB ports
  • Team Behind 'SuperSega'

    • Alejandro Martin (Computer Engineer) and his team, including Tony Hernandez, Carlos Lopez, and Cristina Burgués are driving this project forward.
  • Current Status

    • The team is currently in the development phase, aiming to create a working prototype before launching any crowdfunding campaigns.
    • Burgués has stated that all Sega’s console games up to Saturn are almost in a playable state. A few Dreamcast games are also reportedly playable.
  • Skepticism and Anticipation

    • The response online is mixed, with many viewers questioning the feasibility of this ambitious project and its ultimate success.
    • Despite concerns, the 'SuperSega' FPGA console offers an exciting prospect for Sega fans who dream of owning a console that can cater to all their favorite classic systems in one.

Do you believe the 'SuperSega' FPGA console will become a reality or is it just another vapourware project?
