The 8BitDo M30 is a Wireless Controller for Mega Drive (Sega Genesis). This is the second of them to acquire, again AliExpress, in the 8BitDo official store (8Bitdo Official Store), for use with my Analogue Mega Sg, which I have already spoken here in Skooter Blog. I can also use it with my Sega Genesis, my Mega Drive III, my Master System II, and even PC, USB Cable, or wireless with the use of a adapter.
I have spoken a lot about the features, advantages, disadvantages, and motivation to purchase a M30 in 8BitDo article on the first one. Also showed his test on several islands. So I will not repeat that information here, I recommend reading the review of the first 8BitDo M30 before continuing.
The 2nd 8BitDo M30 They come in a package equal to the first. The control is also exactly the same. The only notable difference is the receiver. It now comes with only one screw. The other screw hole just a black adesivinho, certainly to show that the absence is intentional.
As I have been following the reviews from the 8BitDo M30 I understand this absence. With the first version of firmware, the 8BitDo M30 I was presenting problems when two of them were used simultaneously. Any interference or the like. Some people claimed to have solved or alleviated the problem by removing one of the screws.
These problems are eliminated with version 2.00 from the firmware, so much so that my first 8BitDo M30 It has two screws in place and shows no problem, because I installed the latest version of firmware it once arrived. But I think the 8BitDo decided to take the second screw anyway, to ensure. The 2nd 8BitDo M30 It has come with the version 2.00 from the firmware installed.
The absence of the screw is something to be regretted. A lot of people does not care, but I think there is a reason for the receiver have been designed with two screws. It is more tightly closed with two.
Another difference I noticed in the 2nd receiver 8BitDo M30 It is that it is harder (hard) to fit in Mega Sg. Observando bem a o plug nota-se que os pinos de metal estão levemente desalinhados com a furação no plástico. Não compromete o funcionamento, mas certamente não deveria ser assim.

Hello. Thank Skooter for quality content.
I was far away years of retro games and now plan to return, immediately I intend to buy a MEGA (national or Chinese), but I will wait for the launch of the Mini Mega to compare.
My question is about the new controls 8BitDo, Krikzz, new Tectoy (3 and 6 buttons), Controls Fei Hao and some parallels (as Capcom Street Figther – white), are all compatible with SG, new Mega, Fei Hao and Mega Old?
In addition there is a large difference in response time and gameplay, right now I'm not worried about being wireless or not, only seek to present a control delay does not confuse vertical or diagonal with.
If possible is to sort in scalar 0-5, these differences.
If you can help me I thank you very much, although it would give a great review this team kkkkk.
Thank you.
hello Leandro,
I can not tell you about the new Tec Toy nor Fei Hao, I never had contact with either.
The controls 8BitDo and Krikzz work in original Mega Drive and Mega Sg. The other controls I also have not had contact.
In control of Krikzz and 8BitDo 2.4G there is no noticeable delay. The controls must be wired delay virtually zero. Bluetooth of the 8BitDo are more problematic.
I have more questions, regarding the conversion of Mega (Tectoy New and Old) for RGBA or HMDI, It has to do? Loses much from the image / audio Analogue SG? Or will hope the new Mega Mini?
The original Mega Drive already has RGB natively, just use the appropriate cable. The HDMI conversion from RGB can be made with similar equipment or OSSC.
Mega New Tec Toy Drive I believe is not possible to extract RGB directly. Even if it is, it is unlikely that someone wants to make a mod, after the console is already unreliable by nature.
The advantage of Mega Sg with respect to the audio and video is to have a crystal clear sound and video without jailbars without mods.
Mega Mini I also do not expect much, It must be a questionable fidelity emulator as has occurred with other systems.
You know qualify the quality in RGB is longer acceptable, good or better? I know it has its limitations, but may only use this.
Oh I'm in doubt between buying a monitor or an old TV. For I am almost certain that I will buy the old mega.
With a TV or CRT monitor that accepts RGB 240p and you will already have an excellent image. The OSSC is the best solution for modern LCD TVs.
Thank you, I read all your articles on the topic, I think I can understand about it.
Is now trying to find an MD in good condition, buy a TV or monitor, to give choose the best equipment. I admit that I am biased to cheaper, since the RGB cable is much cheaper .
Again, I appreciate the goodwill that you have and the quality of answers.

U know or have heard of this product ?
Good morning, gostaria de saber se esse controle funciona no atari , pois são a mesma pinagem e no neogeo aes, obrigado e ótimo trabalho.
Not tested. Mas não deve funcionar, pois o receptor precisa dos +5V para se alimentar e o pino que leva +5V no Atari é diferente.
It does not work, a friend tested on Atari and burned the receiver.
[…] came the Joyzz the Krikz and M30 8BitDo for the Mega Drive. But wireless controllers were still missing for my Playstation One and my Atari […]
