Neo Geo X Exposes Its Hardware, Gets Hacked
It’s probably no surprise to learn that the Neo Geo X does not house real Neo Geo compatible hardware inside it, far from it in fact, as these photographs from neo-geo.com show it’s just an Ingenic JZ4770 – the same SoC that can be found inside the soon-to-be-released GCW Zero. Tinkerers have also noted that …

The 2011 Mega Drive Portable From Blaze.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past god knows how many years you’ll already know that Sega sold the rights to a lot of its hardware to other manufacturers when it gave up on the games console market. This means that 3rd party companies are now able to manufacture the Mega Drive (Genesis for you yanks) with the original Sega specification (i.e. not an emulation machine and not a reverse engineering attempt either).
Well one company named Blaze (www.blazeeurope.com) have been churning out handheld Mega Drives for a few years now and whilst I’ve always been tempted, the major drawback for me was that you are limited to the games that Blaze decide to preload onto the machine. In other words, you made do with the selection of games it came with and that’s it. Bummer.
Thankfully though, they’ve come to their senses and released a new model for 2011 with full SD card support for your own ROMs.
