June 24, 2024 Posted by Bill Loguidice News, Press Release 2 Comments

The team at Supersega.com let me know about their new FPGA/ASIC retro console project that will be able to play almost all media and controllers from the Sega SG-1000/SC-3000, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis / MegaDrive, Sega Saturn, and Sega Dreamcast. We’ll be sure to follow the development closely.

What follows is an unaltered (non-native English) text version of the full press release.

Press Release

Supersega.com, an Spanish team of guys born in the 70’s and 80’s who’s goal is to release an “All In One Sega’s Consoles” (AIOSC) in the form of a new retro fpga / asic console, is expected to be fundraising this year (2024).

Users will be able to play its own sega cartridges from Sega SG-3000, Master System & Megadrive / Genesis as well as to play its own Saturn & Dreamcast games.

SPECS : TRUE FPGA LOGIC & HARDWARE

The new upcoming Supersega console is based on Ultrascale+ fpga, featuring WiFi, Bluettooth, and a SD card reader writer.

A CD / DVD Reader Writer with a transparent bay is featured. 8 joystick ports allows users to use its original sega pads, while also they can use USB for. Dimensions of the console are 50 cm (width) x 20 cm (deep) x 10 cm (hight).

THE ENGINEERS BEHIND

Leaded by Alejandro Martin, a computer engineer (ex Cinemartin & Tres Telecom) Developer and Tony Hernandez, Cad Designer along with other members like Carlos Lopez and Cristina Burgués, the team has many years counting in hardware & software development.

SO FAR SO GOOD

Cristina Burgués, public relationsships says: “Until Supersega does not have a working prototype they will not release any funding campaign. Currently we have almost all sega’s console games up to Saturn in a working playable state, and a few Dreamcast playing so far so good, but until we finish the prototype we will not considering to release the project”

Alejandro words on that “We had been working on a SS Core from a few years ago. Until now there were been almost no suitable fpga hardware out there but with the Ultrascale+ things changed, and prices seems more reasonable than before, with a minimum of 100 K up to 1M of Logic Cells, now it is possible to do a Dreamcast behavior with the enough speed.”

Please visit the project website www.supersega.com where soon will be released material, docs & interviews

    Hi. I am writing in the capacity of being a sega fan and while I have watched some YouTube of this project (which thrills and delights me), yet… I have noticed you missed out or not mentioned a pinnacle part of Sega, being the Sega CD. I love the fact that this project is aiming to do the Sega Genesis, X32, Saturn and Dreamcast but very heart broken that the Sega Mega CD is not mentioned or missed out. I think that it would be tragic for a games machine of this magnitude to be developed yet for awesome Sega Mega CD games such as Sonic CD, Keio Flying Squadron, Shining Force CD, Eternal Champions (both the first and second games), sol fence, road avenger, earthworm Jim and Thunderhawk (just to name a good small number of them).
    Can I ask if the Sega Mega CD would be included? If you could let me know, I would be exceedingly grateful. Also, thank you for taking the time to read this email.

    Regards
    Anastasia (a.k.a. Asia)

    Although it’s not explicitly mentioned, I would be shocked if Sega/Mega CD was not supported, since just about everything else is.
