“Project Lunar” for Genesis Mini Released

Anything and everything can be hacked these days, so it’s of little shock that researchers have found a way to make the most of the recently released Genesis Mini.

With the release of Project Lunar Version 1.0, modders can now add an array of features to the Mini, including more games, more storage, expanded controller support, networking capability, and even support for Game Gear, Sega CD and 32X games. What Sega did not do with the system, you now can.

With any mod, there’s a chance you brick the system if you don’t follow proper procedure. At a much more competitive price point versus the NES and SNES Mini, however, it may be another excuse to purchase a second Mini for experimentation.

The video below explains, step-by-step, how to mod your Mini. More detailed instructions can be found at the developer website. If you give it a shot, tell us in the comments what you came up with.
