If SNES is really more powerful than the Mega Drive, then why were launch titles already using expansion chips? Could the Mega Drive handled Pilotwings or F-Zero with expansion chips?
>>12809308Neither of those games used expansion chips you retard.
>>12809308Those games are just using the snes special 7 mode, which the Genesis doesn't have.We've already established repeatedly the Genesis wasn't capable of anything remotely similar to it
>>12809324Anon? F-Zero may have been pure mode 7, but Pilotwings used the DSP-1 like Super Mario Kart did.
>>12809308I'll tell you like I was kid/teenager:The Genesis has better music; the Super Nintendo has more colors and its music can do more things, but is mostly suckier.
>>12809335>We've already established repeatedly the Genesis wasn't capable of anything remotely similar to itAre you the same retard from the F-Zero/Mario Kart thread?
>>12809308Their cpu was outdated on launch day, so they needed chips in the cartridge to close the gap.
>>12809308Nintendo always planned for the hardware to be expanded with expansion chips. It was part of their design philosophy. Keep the cost of the base hardware low, let devs have options for what additional hardware was on the carts. What kept the NES relevant but without the hardware limitations that the NES had. The DSP wasn't strictly necessary for Pilotwings, mostly it was down to Nintendo's late decision to not ship the base hardware with a DSP. Retooling Pilotwings to use only fixed point and SPC mul/div was too time consuming, better to just use the DSP on a cart.The megadrive on the other hand wasn't designed with cart based expansion chips in mind. The cart slot didn't have the available pins to interface with the hardware correctly, it just had to do an address bus based polling system which always sucks. That's why the 32X had to use a video mixing approach because the hardware route was blocked off due to the VDP pin for it not being routed to the cart/expansion slot (and also non-functioning in most models.)The megadrive would struggle to do 60fps mode7 even with an expansion chip for that reason. Writing all the blocks every frame just isn't in its wheelhouse, same reason why even if you put a Ryzen on a SNES cart you can't get Doom to run faster than 20fps.It's why stuff like:>>12809374has to limit how much of the screen it draws to, but on the plus side it can use polygon like approaches and shape draws where the SNES is limited to just a single 2D plane. "Can X do Y?" is the wrong question. "Could X have done something we couldn't see on Y?" is a far better question. And the megadrive had more scope for that, not that the 90s devs really tried.
>>12809374why didn't you post this then? why try arguing that super hang on auto turners were the same thing like a retard? this does look pretty impressive and would have been actual counterpoint.
>>12809324Oh nononono
Does the 32X count as expansion, or different console?
could someone find OPs commanding officer to tell them the console wars are over and they can stand down now
>>12809374That looks like shit
>>12809324And they ran and looked like shit. Seethe harder nintendie.
>>12809764>60fps>Shit?????
>>12809784It's bait
>>12809649What incredibly inaccurate emulator is that? BC Racers is legitimately 15FPS on real hardware, across all platforms. Absolute crap game on all of them too.
>>12809797PicoDrive with default configs.
>>12809374Nice draw distance. They just kept adding turns, hoping you wouldn't notice
>>12809335>>12809374>>12809628>>12809649>2 retards throwing shit at each other aggressively>meanwhile, 2 years before these games on PC
>>12809374You can see the poor sap playing this shit clearly suffering. Game was canceled for good reason.
The Mega Drive is an honourable system, it shuns all use of cheater chips and relies on its built-in blast processing to annihilate its enemies. The dishonourable 2.68 mhz Snezz resorted to cowardly tactics like cheater chips to backstab its rivals like a Jew.

>>12809604not an actual released game, cancelled.
>>12809837And?Anon claimed the Genesis couldn't do it.The game proves it can.
>>12809848If that's the best it can do then that's a brutal self own.
>>12809851>bestWe all know Genesis did Virtua Racing.How about you drop this clown act already? Last time you started doing damage control about how it doesn't count because you can't run in reverse.
>>12809861>you can't run in reversePretty big engine limitation, ngl
>>12810901>You don't get it, I NEED to lose the race by going in reverse!
>>12809819https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/566454080/#566454080You can see him posting there, he's doing it all: sega system, shitturn, snezz, trashure, all these shitposts that get spammed regularly here are all contained within that thread
>>12810901You can unlock reverse (mirror) tracks anyway, so your complaints are pointless.Guess which games don't have mirror tracks though? F-Zero and Mario Kart.
>>12811107>You can unlock reverse (mirror) tracks anyway,Are you literally retarded?
>>12809649>THIS will save the 32X!

Here we go again
I’m so glad I grew up with both systems lol
>>12809709>>12809803These. Fucking pathetic, was this actually released?
>>12809308Great post by anon >>12809564The NES MMCs kept it relevant and even managed to end up obsoleting the Famicom Disk System with the base system, which is kind of crazy if you think about itNintendo would have been crazy to not prepare their next system with even better capabilities
