Good evenin' folks. I hope you've had an utterly splendid week.

Allow me to present this weeks video on the Super Magic Drive. A little unit developed by Front Fareast Industrial, which allows Mega Drive ROMs to be ripped to disk, and for disk ROMs to be played on the Mega Drive.

It's got a load of other features too, and is really an interesting little device.

I also dug up a legal case with the Magic Drive at its core, which I found rather interesting.

I present all these delights for your viewing pleasure.

Have a great weekend.

Super Magic Drive: The Original ROM Ripper | Nostalgia Nerd

Ever wondered how we got hold of cartridge ROMs in the 90s? How they were originally extracted? Well, usually it was through a device like the Super Magic Drive. This little unit hooked up to a floppy drive and not only allowed you to "backup" cartridge ROMs to floppy, but also load those floppy ROMs back into the console. This was useful for development purposes as well as for PIRACY. A lawsuit linked to the devices was inevitable, but rather than being aimed at it's manufacturer, someone else took the brunt... ** For exclusive videos, mystery boxes and other rewards, please consider supporting me at; https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd ** ☟Sharing☟ If you wish to share this video in forums, social media, on your website, *please do so*!
