Right so finally gonna have some time tonight to dig it all out and see what connects to what and what i actually need to get it up and running.
Will do a full list of games i have including the floppy ones which from memory is a lot! How many of them actually work is anyones guess though lol.

Good luck - I did manage to tune mine into a modern TV so you should be good (6 month old samsung smart tv) and it looked actually decent. There are those adapters I pictured above and they also do a good job. I have one for the saturn and one that does all sega consoles and it works great

Is there much difference Joe, or a reason to buy one if you already have a MEP?
I did have a brief look but didn’t really understand all the MD+ jargon. Sounded like the MSD was better for patching games with CD audio and language translations etc.
I don’t think I’m too bothered about that, the MEP seems to play everything incl the CD games I tried.
I think more readily available, Krikkz is known to support products longer. Terraonion promised updates for MSD years ago and moved on to other projects.
Also, Terraonion have a bit of a reputation due to owner being a bit toxic. Personally I like the MSD, but the MEP does look good. I'm hopeful Krikkz makes a Everdrive that has the 32x onboard like the CD.

Thanks, I’d missed the bit re the 32X.
Yeah I’ve heard some poor things re TO but I try to ignore the politics… I’ve recently ordered my Mode so hope to have that up and running soon on my DC.
The MODE is awesome, better than the GDEmu, enjoy

That surprised me, I didn't realise analog tuners were included still but it seems they are. An issue that I've run into in the past with 'modern' TVs with analog tuners is that the signal ouputted by older consoles/micros isn't often clean / in-spec enough for the tuner to recognise and so manual tuning was needed if it would find it at all.
Weirdly mine shows a very nice image on my consoles, mind you I did refurb/repair the MD and the SNES and checked output signals with my scope... An idea of what the snes and MD looked like tuned in by RF:

I'll confess to only ever recently trying to tune one of my ZX Spectrums in on RF. Do I have a MD and SNES too, but the MD is an early one and the SNES is a 1CHIP - both connected with their respective RGB SCART cabels
You now need to get a video up of that floppy system in action, i need to see how this all works its too good
I have most of the cables.. i think. I think Vince said i might need some inverters or converters for a Modern tv as well.
Looks pretty cool, wish I had one growing up! Although I'm now spoilt for choice and end up playing the same games or browsing the menus
