Mega Drive clones built by Chinese-based Dongguan Dewei Electronic Co., Ltd from around 2006. Sega name has been removed and on some models on the front, have information that this consoles are approved by Mezhregional'naya obshchestvennaya organizatsiya sodeystviya proizvodstvu i realizatsii videoigr despite the fact that the rights to the Mega Drive belonged to Constanta Plus which is highlighted on the back. These Mega Drive 2 clones are perhaps the least interesting of their produce, and despite being offered in three different box colours, each system is identical. Also offered is a "black box" variant with 25 built in games. All four packages are fairly common in Russia. Uses a TCT-6801 console-on-a-chip and outputs composite video with mono sound. The bottom of the console has a region switch and a 50/60Hz switch. Strangely, there are solder points on the board for a third switch and a hole cut out for it on the case, but it is not present. The expansion bay door can be removed, but there is no Mega CD connector.
Same as above, but instead of composite av-out and power jacks, it has an HDMI-out and mini-usb jacks. Although it outputs through HDMI, the image is only 480p. The box is exactly the same as the av version, just with a HDMI sticker slapped on.
