the model one looks like a frontloader.

The model one IS a front loader. Β lol

which one would you take? model one or model two?
π: 0 β©: 1
Both are the same really, but model 2 is more reliable. Β Model 1 has a more compatible BIOS though.

i thought this would look better then the model 2 Genesis. ... ... i was wrong.

epic pic! it's almost scary how far ahead SEGA was with gaming in terms of the past! it's also, in a good way, scary how much farther ahead they'd be if they didn't stop making consoles. Miss my genesis...well all i really played was the Sonic series but i always wanted the CD addon for it but i remember, while being 6 years old, it being expensive or somethin. Good days for gaming though.

Sorry to bombard you with questions but, my model 1 sega cd doesn't read the disc. It will spin the disc for a moment then go back as if no disc were inserted. You wouldn't happen to know what the problem would be?

Clean the laser..
π: 0 β©: 1
I did but still nothing.

Does it actually say No Disc on screen? Press Start? I need to know what it says on-screen..
The laser is likely dead, but you may need to get an aerosol can and shoot some air under the lens. Dust and hair can get under there and cause it not to work also..

The system will turn on fine and will say press reset to open tray. I will put a cd in then press start. The system will spin the disc for a moment and stop. The cd system acts as if I had just opened and closed it without putting in a disc. It doesn't say "No Disc" though it doesn't even say checking disc.

Then either the laser is dead or dust is under the lens assembly.
And no I can't walk you through, I only sprayed air in it, not remove the assembly.. And you can still buy replacements but once again I can't walk you through, I've never done it before.

Thanks for the info it helps either way. I just hope I don't have to spend any more money on the thing.

I recently acquired a model one Sega CD minus any cords. You wouldn't happen to know which cords are compatible with the model 1 Sega CD?
π: 0 β©: 1
All you need is the power cable, and a model 1 Genesis power cord will work..
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I wouldn't want to ruin my cd by using the wrong power cord.

Did you have to insert prongs into your genesis?
Also you wouldn't happen to know where to buy 32x cables?
π: 0 β©: 1
For the 32X? Nah, didn't bother, works fine.
No, I don't know where to get the cables, mine just came with it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh well, what do the prongs do? My 32x came with everything but the AV cord and the model 1 adapter.
π: 0 β©: 1
The prongs are just to satisfy the FCC. It does help with RF shielding, but it honestly doesn't matter, it works fine without it.
You can try hunting eBay for it. Makes sure the AV cable is for a 32X/Gen2/CDX. They all use the same AV cable.. Since you have a model 1, you'll want a mono AV cable. (You can go to radioshack though and get a headphone TRS to RCA adapter, and plug the headphone jack from your Genesis to the TV, that headphone jack will contain ALL sounds..)
eBay may also have the Model 1 adapter, but you will still need the passthrough cable to connect to that adapter.

Actually I did check ebay and they were trying to sell the cables for around 25 bucks each! My genesis and 32X combined didn't cost that much!
Thanks for the info though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sadly that price seems about right.. These cables are rare.
Now, I can make them, but it costs some money for the parts.
π: 0 β©: 1
Odd that the cables are rare but the console easy to come by. I might be interested in the ones you make depending on the quality.
π: 0 β©: 1
I only make the upmost quality on things and cables.. But I don't really make things for other people, because then I have to find the parts to make them..
π: 0 β©: 2
How much would it cost to build 32X Din Cable?
π: 0 β©: 1
Which one? The MD1 adapter, or the passthrough AV cable? (Where if you have a model 1 genesis, you'll need the adapter and the passthrough.)
I don't make them and don't want to make them..
π: 0 β©: 2
You wouldn't happen to have some instructions on how to build one?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, it would take looking at pinouts, and probing points..

There's one for sale..

Thanks anyways. I'm a little bummed though because my 32x was only $18.00. But it's worth it to play doom.

If your a Doomer, you may be disappointed at how crappy the 32X version is.. I have it, and it's absolutely terrible. The music sounds bad, the framerate is low, and it's not even fullscreen..
The 32X was definitely capable, but they rushed the port..
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually I've always been more of a fan of Wolfenstein but Doom is still good. The 32x version isn't horrible, although it isn't as good as the Jaguar version, it is playable despite the music sounding like wet farts and zippers.

I have the adapter cable, but I need the passthrough cable.

That makes sense. Good to hear your good at it though.

Blast Processing at its finest. 30 Volts of power,3 Amps and 4 Processors,my god its a monster,of engineering!
π: 0 β©: 1
More than 4 processors.

Arg,I forgot about the Z80 in the Genesis,that's why its backwards compatible with the Sega Master System =3

the 32x reminds me of a tumor or something lol. and wasnt the sega cd inserted to the side of the gensis? or did they make a new model??
π: 0 β©: 1
This is the original Sega CD. The second model was on the side. The third model was a portable CD player with SCD and Genesis capabilities.

o lol thx for the info i guess

Bah, DA screws up the link.
Go to youtube, type in "Sega 32X", and load the "32X Tech demo". Very amazing indeed, too bad programmers lacked motivation to actually do this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup! Late release and only small amount of good titles was a very bad decision from SEGA.
