Nomad and six button controller questions

[David J.]

I know it sounds silly, but it just came to me. The nomad works with nearly every Genesis game except the end of Xmen where you have to reset the system. I was thinking, could you add a reset button to a nomad or hack it in?

And the six button controller doesn't work with every genesis game, even the bitchy ones that require you to press down the mode button?

Just curious...

I tried playing Ms Pac Man on the Nomad a few times and was pissed off at how poorly it controlled. I thought it was just the Nomad itself. Then I tried it on my Sega Genesis 16-bit video enterainment system. Same thing. WTF? I didn't remember it controlling like this! Oh yeah. It's because I'm using the official Sega (not Majesco) 6-button controller that was designed by God and given to me personally by Jesus. Must hold MODE button. It worked! Same with the freakin' Nomad.

Sega-16 should have a list of Genesis games which require a 3 button controller and/or require the MODE button be held down as the power is switched on (you only need to hold it down for less than a second).

As for the X-men problem, I really don't think anyone should be playing that game. It is so choppy, scratchy and poorly programmed. One only need to look at X-men to realize how poor the Genesis was. Well that and Eternal Champions CD. These two games as well as a few others should probably be illegal for being of such poor quality.

I know I know, but I'd like to get my moneys worth for some reason.
