Comment 1: This is the Multi Game Hunter by Venus Corp! This backup unit can be used with both the SNES, and Genesis. It has two cartridge adapter slots on top, for either SNES, or Genesis carts. With a special cartridge and connected to a Genesis, it allows you to play copied Master System games as well. The disk drive on top is removable, but there is no parallel interface. At the time it came out it was the only copier to reliably backup Genesis carts. All operations are controlled from menus using the console's controllers, including disk managment, saveing and loading of both game data and SRAM. The MGH unit requires an external 9V power supply. One dissadvantage is that you cannot connect it to your computer. A DSP adapter is available, and you can replace the deprotect with a newer version. This is the Multi Game Hunter by Venus Corp!

The origional black copier (pictured above) had 16Mbits of RAM, with no way to add more. That means it can't run some of the larger games. The newer grey version comes with 16-24Mbits of RAM and hirom decoders for newer games, the RAM is expandable. All accesories work with both versions of the MGH. More information about both is appreciated! I would also like pictures of the grey unit.

Comment 2: The Multi Game Hunter by Venus is a nice well rounded copier. The unit serves both SNES and Genesis carts and has slots for both adapters built on. It has a removable 3.5 FDD which supports 720K to 1.6MB formats. All operations are controlled from on-screen menus using the console's controllers, including disk management from the menus, save and loading of both game data and SRAM. The copier came in two different versions, the original grey one having only 16Mbit game RAM and the enhanced ASIC black version which had 24Mbits and hirom decoders for the newer games. The unit has 256K of SRAM which is preserved when the unit is turned off, but if another game is loaded, the SRAM must be saved to disk first and then loaded when needed again. I found that most US and UK games worked on this copier, but there were problems with the majority of JAP ones for which patches had to be obtained.

Comment 3:The MGH/ASIC has been released. This is just an update of the current MGH and has an ASIC chip and a new SNES decoder chip. It is fully compatible with the MGH. All current accessories for the MGH work with the MGH/A. 2 bases were released: A gray one, and a black one. The black one includes both HiRom decoders and can play all games, while the gray one only includes the one for <=16MB games.
