Sega 32X help required...

I've recently come into a Sega 32X, and would love to try it out, but I'm missing the cable that connects it to the Genesis.

Would anyone have a spare they wouldn't mind donating (or even selling) to me?

You can have mine if I can find it, email me your email address and I'll let you know.

Sweet. You're my new hero.

does anyone know if a 32X will work in a sega CDX?

i think i remember owning both at one point, but i don't remember trying them together for some strange reason.

I really wish Sega had released the Neptune instead of that crappy 32X. That thing was a mess.

Yes, the 32X and CDX work just fine, regardless of what Sega or the FCC want you to think (I think its the FCC, one of those goverment groups)

The FCC-CDX/32X came about due to the FCC not approving the 32X for use with the CDX. Sega had to go by this, and therefore couldn't cover any problems that may have arisen from consumers due to this problem, if one occured.

Perhaps you've never heard, but I've SEEN it work, as in, I used to have a 32X/CDX combo that worked like a dream :D

Used to have a CDX? You should still have it you fool.

Supposedly, the 32X can do some bad things (like fry) to your CDX, so it's a risk to use them together. I've never heard or read anything about using both together having caused damage to anything else, though.

I don't remember the address but there is a Sega site that sells all of this shit. I'm sure someone here knows the URL for NEW Sega parts.

i'm sure that's probably BS.. thanks for the info guys.

Yes, the 32X is completely compatible with the CDX. The reason for the urban legend about the 32X causing problems is that the CDX both stated it was not compatible with the 32X. They are compatible, Sega didn't get the testing and approval completed in time so they say that it's not compatible to avoid legal problems.

I think what jeremy meant was that Sega couldn't SAY that it worked since it wasn't approved by the FCC. Anyone could call up and say "32x broke my CDX" and Sega would have been at fault if they said it was supposed to work. Everyone I know who has that setup says it works just fine...

Yeah, the 32x and CDx work fine together..and I actually prefer it since the CDX has a stronger video signal that the genny 2. Maybe it's just my Genesis 2, but there is some screen static when used with the 32x which is eliminated when I use the CDX.

Only problem is that you can't open the cd door with the 32x on top.

all this discussion about 32x and cdx compatibility...you guys must be itching to play the enhanced version of slam city...

No but we are itching to play and enchanced version of Blackthrone (that game was good and it was best on the 32x)


Unfortunately it looks like Mzo will be itching for a long time. I can't find that cord.

:\

I got an extra one PM me.

I have 32x Slam City!

It blows!

that's blackthorne.. and thanks for reminding me to get it :)
