Got some questions

[1magus]

Well let's get right to it, I would like to thanks anybody in advance for helping me out with any information you can lend me:

1. Does any Genesis clone (ANY MODEL) support Sega CD and/ or Sega 32X? If so can you please list the name of it, and on a side note do any of the clones support S-Video right out of the box?

2. I'm currently bidding on a small Sega CD lot ( if you can call it that ) and I plan to start a Sega CD collection, does anybody know where I should start? I mean I know I want the following games cause I have briefly played them but I hate emulators " The Terminator, Sonic CD, Night Trap, Lunar Games " but does anybody have any advice or links to places where I can buy these for perhaps better deals than eBay can give me?

3. I have recently started using Game Maker Version 7, and I gotta say this is an amazing program I'm actually making progress in a 2D Platformer that I'm trying to make! Anyway I was wondering can this be ported to be used on any old platform such as the Sega Genesis or Sega Saturn Perhaps? i know the program requires DirectX but I think it is open source.

4. Does the Laserdisc/ Megadrive support S-Video output while playing Genesis/ CD Games?

Thanks in advance any info to any question here is appreciated!

1. I know an OLD clone called Scorpion does, and all others with same chips like an Asian MD looking clone I had, which manufacturer/brand I don't know as its 1:1 with original externally.

3. For Mega/Sega CD, you need to learn how to program for MD/Genesis, master is, and then see if you're tough enough for Mega/Sega CD. I don't know about Saturn but it is all pain in the ass AFAIK... There's no premade programs to make games on our beloved Sega machines AFAIK... only way out is to learn some programming language like Assembly, C or BASIC variation called BasiEgaXorz which allows pretty painless way to make something for MD/MCD and probably 32X too.

4. Dumb question :P Of course it does.

Nope. I think everything about the LaserActive is composite. You can do an s-video mod, but that works for LDs only.

Are you sure about that? I saw a video on youtube once of some people in England reviewing it and they said the Sega CD and 32X were NOT compatible, they even tried to make their own 32X cable and it didn't work.

My Scorpion clone functioned fully identical to the real deal...

Anyway, a clone called Joy-16 and one called Magistr Drive both support 32X, but since they don't output RGB, its no use.

I wouldn't exactly call that 32X support.

the HW functions... to some extent
