I do want a 32X, but they have a lot of parts, and like with all these old consoles it's a lot easier to find just the console by itsself than with the parts... of course I haven't seen any actual 32Xes for sale, but still... like this Sega CD -- looking online, the power supply that I needed was $10-$12... but then the pawnshop got in another used Genesis 1 with power supply and the guy sold me the Genesis1/SCD2 combo with that power supply and a RFU for $5. I know Genesises have very little value, but still...
Of course, the Genesis itsself doesn't seem to work (the power light comes on, but the game doesn't start... can it be saved?), so it really was just for the Sega CD, and there was no gaurantee that it'd work... I'm just happy that it does. :)
Anyway... yes I want a 32X, but it needs stuff... spacer for the cartridge port if you want it to be secured in well, the crossover cable (must have to use), a power supply...
Hmm, I need more information on how the 32X sets up. I found online a Sega CD II user's manual (scanned official manual, that is), which was really helpful, I wonder if I can find a 32X one... I don't think that the power supply will be the problem this time though -- the power supply won't be the problem. Might cost a bit, but the 32X uses a Genesis 2 power supply (model 2103), not a Genesis 1 (1602) one, and Genesis 2's with their power supplies seem to be a bit more common than 1's with the cables... its that spacer (if you want the 32X to fit in well and not wiggle around and crash when you bump it or something, right?) and those cables...
Now what should I do with this extender (the block of plastic that the SCD2 uses to make the Genesis 1 fit)... put it in the closet I guess. :) Wish I had the extension port cap and cover for that Genesis 1, as the Genesis 2 cover doesn't exactly fit right, but oh well...
Stupid Sega... just to play those five 32XCD games you need three power bricks all plugged in at once... what a pain! Why couldn't they have at least gone the GC (or PS2 slim, or X360) route and put the brick in the middle, if they didn't want to have it internal...
