No, there's one power adapter for the Genesis 1 and Sega CD (both models), and another one for the Genesis 2, Game Gear, and 32X... the 32X doesn't use the Genesis 1 power adapter.
Anyway, the trick is finding a 32X-Genesis 2 connector cable. Looking at a few places (sega-parts.com, ebay) the Genesis 1-32X cable is available and cheap, but the Gen 2 cable isn't there and I'd prefer to use my Genesis 2, not a Genesis 1... hmm, where else to look...
I spent $20 for a working Genesis 2 with an official 6-button controller, 2 games, and the cables, and now $5 for a Sega CD with power supply. X'Eye? $80-$100... and as I said, I have a Sega CD 2, the top-loader kind... sure they have their issues too, but still, the price and no 32X compatibilty (X'Eye doesn't work with 32X, right?)... but particularly the price. Just not worth that much more.

Quote:From what I've experience the best way to play 16-bit Sega games is with the JVC X'Eye. It's basically a Genesis/CD combo unit, but the CD part is much less prone to messing up since it's top-loading. The original Sega CD is a drive-loader, so after a while you have to tilt the whole thing on its side to reposition the laser eye. Then, just attach a 32X to the top and you're ready to go.
