Revision as of 11:06, 24 April 2024

From the mid 1990s to early 2000s the Mega Drive template of choice predictably became the cost-reduced Mega Drive 2. The clones of this system became popular in South America, former USSR, Middle East, Asia, parts of Europe and Africa. The simplified design of the Mega Drive 2 makes it very easy to reproduce - the number of Mega Drive 2 clones worldwide far exceeds that of other Sega clones, and was even the basis for some Famiclones.

Similar to the above, but only includes 9 built-in games (with no repeats) and a Micro SD card slot for playing ROM files. Outputs mono sound, is PAL 50Hz (but can be easily modified to NTSC 60Hz), has inaccurate sound (like Atgames clones), doesn't work with Everdrive, and doesn't work with high capacity multicarts.

Today, this clone can be found on worldwide auction sites and it doesn’t have anything to do with WEN-BC, but it’s name on console and bulgarian sticker on box still remain.

Mega Drive 2 (Black Box)

Perhaps this is the mother of all Mega Drive 2 clones. They are very faithful copies of the original consoles sold in Asia. Unfortunately, due to the little information gathered about the original consoles, it's very easy to confuse the original with the clone. Some things that are different in clones are:

  • incorrect serial numbers
  • the option of bypassing the regional blockade
  • box sizes
  • poorer color quality of the box
  • manual have less than 4 languages (should have English, Chinese, Indonesian, Arabic or Thai)

However, this does not give one hundred percent certainty.
