SEGA announces Game gear Micro

[Virtua Hunter]

It seems there is another softmod online, to have all 5 version of GG Micro at the same time, and best of all, you can revert to the original state.

Unfortunately it's impossible fo find the modified dump.

Correct, I assume you refer to this: https://retrofixer.it/en/softmod-game-gear-micro/

This mod is actually better as it offer 6 games on boot * 7 slots - When you boot the Micro, you hold Button 1 / 2 / START / DPAD-Up-Down-Left-Right and doing so will select a slot, giving you up to 42 games. I've tried it and it works great! I cannot imagine developpers making it any better at this point much (the ressources being all hardcoded). One guy commented it's definitely possible to revert to the original state as well, provided you have a backup (I do, but I didn't tried reverting, no need to anyway, would be downgrading hehe). And it's also translated in English!

As to why he removed his download link, no idea, wonder if he was concerned about getting sued by SEGA / M2 or stuff, at least when the hack would have became more public knowledge?

I cutomized the colors on mine and added boot instructions.

exactly, that's the one.

I was looking for this mod in particular, since I'm only interested to play only official Micro games on the device.
Still searching but no results

He removed his mod (the one I have), but as far as I can see, the team is still working on improving it, maybe he removed it because it was still "unfinished": https://discord.com/channels/3649273...08084763885578

EDIT: A newer version of the softmod is in development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sunpDY968vY

Previously distributed GGM CFW had a problem with copyrighted material and was discontinued.

We have secured that part and improved the previous problems such as frequent errors and slow booting.

The distribution method this time has been changed to a structure that takes data of the target GGM and works from disassembling, patching, and assembling in the GUI.

And here are the improvements of GGM CFW:

change
1.Correction of parts that may cause copyright issues
-Change to take the app and assets.bin from the original firmware and proceed with disassembly, modification, and patching
2.Same booting speed as the original firmware by improving the boot method
3. Solved the problem of slot breaking due to some game and image transmission problems due to capacity problems

added
1. Support existing firmware backup/restore
2. Easy to manage by saving the slot under a different name(implementing... actually annoying)
3. Review capacity problems in the GUI and stop when problems occur

EDIT November 19th 2021:

The newer version has now been released to the public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FJvevOt_wc
