Sega Gopher Review

[blisterdmage]

Has anyone found a patch to save the games yet?

[neversour]

Does anyone know if it plays sega master system roms?

[CheesecakeD]

so... rpg games can't be save?

like the rpg in-game save points itself are useless?

[lokks707]

Nomads would be nice to have. Thing is that they're way too big, eats up batteries, and the technology as far as color LCD screens just wasn't good in the 90s. I'd still get one as a collector's item though.

[doujindance]

this is able to run 32X cart?

[GDKism]

you got the same torrent i got! ha ha ha! just so you know to of the roms in that one dont work.

[Sageintraining1]

Thanks. Most informative, straightforward review of this thing yet. I keep getting upset about not being able to save RPGs and then I realize wait....I haven't beaten an RPG in 7 years.. XD. Another issue with the nomad over these no one seems to be mentioning is that not only are they big and the screens are dated, but any nomad screen will be so old it will be faded to the point of being near illegible.

dude, you mentioned that the emulated games from your sd card don't save right? how about the built-in games in the gopher? can you store save files of those games?

[hakemon]

@RLiz08 No, you can't..

[RLiz08]

@hakemon thanks. im planning to have one myself. nice review..

[ronniedactyl]

'do ya really wanna giant brick in ur pocket pullin ur pants down' well said.....

[00samee00]

They don't work with ROMs though. I tried them. did you use .bin files? If so, where did you find them?

[hakemon]

@00samee00 They most certainly work with ROMs. Do a little bit of Google research, the information is WIDELY available. That's how I found out. It all has to be in a special folder.

[hakemon]

@foat99 Of course NOT. It's a Sega GENESIS/MEGADRIVE emulating handheld only.

If it did, I would have covered that.

[SNESosT]

screw ya, nomad kicks ass

[JarrodDrover123]

damn that kinda pisses me off with no save cause if u wanna beat a game u gotta start all over again if u dont feel like playing

[hakemon]

@ajtabuena Please do not ask where to download ROMs. They will not be answered.

[sas21645]

Great Review Man. Seems Better Than The Gen Mobile

[DankAlumni09]

Great review. Glad I watched before buying.

[hakemon]

@WrathOscuro The Gopher is only made by 1 company, but have 2 different revisions.. One has a changeable battery, the other has built in battery and IR for a 2nd controller.

[ojideagu]

@hakemon Hi, I've read you have to format it a certain way to work with roms on the SD card. IS this true? I'm refering to the Blaze version which is the UK version so it may be different. Also, does it work with mini SD cards with adaptors.

[hakemon]

@EquipoBrandsen09 Still hard to understand even after translation. The screen is nearly native res to the Genesis.. It only has some line doubling issues because it stretches 224 to what looks like 230 (not even 240).

[shortylambert]

hi is there anywhere to purchse hard copies of the roms on like a dvd?thanks

[hakemon]

@EquipoBrandsen09 Yea, um, I don't understand what you just said..

[JAYWALKERS3000]

@hakemon does it have plug adapter issues...like any problem with the north american plugs?

[hakemon]

@JAYWALKERS3000 It's USB..

[ojideagu]

@hakemon I got my answer, so no problem lol

[BuffStateBabe86]

how do you put games on an sd card that will work for the gopher?? i just bought a gopher and i wanted to put more games on the sd card to play on the gopher....such as all the sonic games...its frustrating not figuring out how to do this

[epicmoviedude246]

@BuffStateBabe86 format the card and make a folder inside it called: game

[videogamecentral5000]

how do you put roms on it

[leonelkk]

agajajajajajjajaj

[hakemon]

@leonelkk If your going to spam, instant block.

[leonelkk]

quien te piso pie grande!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kempet]

What type of roms (I mean file format) does it support? BIN, Gen, smc etc?

[epicmoviedude246]

@kempet bin is the is for shore one that works

[toledoboy1234]

Isn't downloading games onto an sd card illegal?

[hakemon]

@toledoboy1234 Considering these original companies really aren't making money from these old un-sold games, I highly doubt ANY of them will be coming after you.. Besides, this kind of question is left to the legally scared. ;)

[JarrodDrover123]

@toledoboy1234 probly but if a companies really gonna get butt hurt over a games thats practically obsolete now then thats sad.

[djzilchdotcom]

man i just bought one of these, i wish theres some sort of firmware update or hack so we can save games or save state - the sega has some pretty good RPGs

[Bylga]

Great review! =D More game demonstrations maybe? Plx

[hybridRace92]

As long as i can play Street Fighter II: Special Chapion Edition and other kickass arcade-like titles that where on a Genesis, im good.
