The Analogue Mega Sg is an FPGA-based aftermarket Sega Genesis and Sega Mega Drive designed and manufactured by Seattle-based company Analogue, Inc.[1] Mega Sg was designed to explore Sega's entire 8 and 16 bit 16-bit console era.[2] It is compatible with original Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System, Sega Mark III, Sega SG-1000 and Sega SC-3000 (Both NTSC and PAL region). It features 1080p HDMI, digital audio (48 kHz 16-bit), and original Genesis/Mega Drive-style controller ports. Kevin Horton engineered Mega Sg to run in an Altera Cyclone V with 100% accuracy and also provided extra features like the possibility to scale the original 240p video output to different resolutions up to 1080p 60Hz. Phil Fish, the designer of Fez, designed the Mega Sg's user interface.[3]
