Last Night's Tijuana Oddysey, led me to this. As much as I love the city, I will admit being a bit fearful to make the trip. First of all, because Tijuana has grown at an incredible rate. I used to live in the South east Area of Tijuana, which is now the center, since population has spread towards every corner of the city. Second, I was afraid it'd be a prank and then having to wait hours in line to cross back. Anyway, if you're not familiar with this piece, it's Called: The Mega Disk! I know little about it. I've read that it was apparently developed and produced in Taiwan, where it sold a few pieces before trying luck in other Sega Mega Drive Prevalent Countries like Italy, Portugal and Brazil. It's purpose is to Rip files from Cartridges for Back-up Copies of a Game in floppy disk format, so long as it's 8MB of ram or less, though some have said making copies of 8MB+ ram games using a second disk is doable. Sadly, I don't have the operating program Disk to start the machine, so I won't be able to use it and show you how it works. I've not seen these in NA, but if anyone has one and would be willing to make me a copy of that floppy, Please DM me and maybe we can figure something out. As for this format, deducing it wasn't adopted by Sega due to fear of piracy, I think it had potential and I'll tell you why. Growing up I met many kids, but few had a console, therefore, most of them saw those of us who did, with envy. By using cheaper hardware for a more affordable price, The Sega Mega Disk would have been a great Alternative for many Latin American homes, a great way for Sega to get into that Market and to make many Kids Happy. An exclusive "Sega Center" at a Something like a Wal-Mart, where Parents could Purchase Sega Floppys (with a lock device to avoid piracy as long as possible) of Both Mega Drive and SMS would have been an excellent Idea. Floppys were cheap, it had been done by Nintendo before, and I think that in that type of market with low resources, it would have been a Hit, so long as prices were kept low and accessible which is easier said than done. #segagenesisjunkies #gimplaire #sega #segamegadrive #segamegadisk #genesisdoes #blastprocessing
