Just listed a bunch of Genesis stuff for sale in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread. Figured I'd give folks here a heads up:

Wish I could offer you something, but the one-two punch of Xenoblade suddenly becoming readily available and my PlayStation Plus subscription renewing the same weekend (I should've paid more attention to the renewal date <_<) has kinda left me underwater.

S'fine, though. I have tons of games to play through. I should really get around to playing them.

I just spent the last couple of weeks ordering a crap ton of stuff on ebay. Wish I had saw this before, you definitely have some stuff cheap. But I'll probably be buying stuff again soon.

Just curious, is that model 1 Genesis the one with the High Definition text on it?

 

[IrishNinja]

damn, should've asked if its non TMSS model

 

[Recall]

Found these in my parents attic, still in decent condition.

 

[infinityBCRT]

I was looking up 32x stuff and I was floored at how easy to find/cheap that stuff is. I will probably eventually pick up the following once I get a 32x:

Star Wars Arcade
WWF Raw
WWF Wrestlemania Arcade (seems like its the best home port)
Space Harrier
After Burner

Also I just saw this on youtube last night, blew my mind. Someone's custom Genesis/32X/CD system. He made it out of a Saturn case. Ended up selling it for like $800. If Sega made something like this now, I'd totally buy it.

It even has component out in the back. The only thing its missing is a built in multitap.

There is a reason for that.

The 32x and it's games are bad

Oh I know that whole thing. But still. I was expecting a complete Star Wars arcade to be way more rare/expensive than it is. That really is the one game that makes me want a 32x. Plus the video processor is much better on it.

 

[ZealousD]

Knuckles Chaotix and Kolibri both run around 50-60 bucks complete. But yeah, nothing quite as expensive as your Sega CD rares.

Edit: I lied. Blackthorne and DarXide are pretty expensive.

Arguable. Get rainbow banding more often on the Genesis, but also get brighter colors. Doesn't mater if you are running straight RGB of course, but that isn't an option for everyone.

Spiderman 32X is the most expensive one

I was looking at Blackthrone 32X on youtube and it looks really shitty. I don't know what they did to the graphics, but it doesn't look as good as I remember the DOS version being.

I just got a SCART cable, just need to get the SCART to component box. I'll try that out soon to see if that works, but I know its finicky and apparently doesn't work on all TVs due to trouble syncing the image or something like that.

In terms of the brighter colours-- any modern TV can compensate for that by changing your brightness/contrast/gamma settings.

 

[theSlacker]

Spiderman 32X is the most expensive one

Yeah. That one defiantly is as expensive as the Sega CD rares.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Don't forget World Series Baseball. Honestly, there is only around 40 games released for it, in all regions. But, you have mid-high range games like Kolibri, Blackthorne, Zaxxon and Kunckles Chaotix, high range like Darxide, Worlds Series Baseball, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and the 300-400+ Spider-Man 32x. Most of the other good ones (Space Harrier, After Burner) will run you around 20 bucks a pop CIB too. Honestly, ration wise, its probably 50:50 cheap and expensive games.

I had the Sega Channel, I was the coolest kid in school.

I miss the Sega Channel

Which is kind of amazing when you think about it because the thing didn't even last a full year. Went from November 94 to October 95.

Actually it lasted to January 1996 in the US, though in Japan it was dead by the end of 1995.

So, i started a little project on tumblr: segaendings.tumblr.com

Basically, i'm keeping track and keeping a journal of sorts of me, trying to beat the entire library of Sega games (obviously, just the Mega Drive/CD/32X stuff). If any of you want to follow it, you're welcome to, if you want to watch me descend into madness.

 

[Teknoman]

You guys were right about the PS II guide. Stumbling around Shure, and the map is pretty accurate for the most part, but its already mislabeled a chest as having 20 meseta when it actually had 200, and mentions a chest with a shotgun...where none exists.

yeah man, i gotta look up the notes young Irish wrote in mine but i recall some Climatrol/that underwater dungeon errors and a few painful ones during the brutal dungeons on Dezo later. also it's notoriously spoiler-rific! but a great guide otherwise, and a great pack-in; still amazed people complained about it.

Got Dragon Ball Z (Portuguese 1st print)

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I received that model 1 Sega CD I bought a few days back yesterday. Amazing shipping speed, sometimes I have to wait 2 months to get stuff and this came in less than a week,

The seller really packed it carefully, everything looks OK. I will test it this week, fingers crosssed.

another Segazord, complete with karaoke module

That's great. I approve of the pictures where the things would actually work.

How are those wireless 6-button controllers actually? This is going to sound nuts, but I feel like I have a lot of trouble finding a 6-button controller that I actually find comfortable. The standard ones just feel a little small to me, causes cramps. A Sega-designed 6-button controller with the larger form factor of the 3-button controllers sounds great, IR be damned.

Oh, they're great. It sounds exactly like what your'e looking for. The IR is actually really good on them as well.

So what's the biggest stack that you can put on a Genesis and actually have it play?

I've done CD + 32X + Game Genie + S&K + S3 and it worked just fine. I think I've heard that if you have multiples of S&K that it just passes through? Is that true? Could you add S&K ad infinitum?

That's the tallest I've done as well, and think that might be the most that will work. I think if you have multiple S&K's connected, it only does the first 'link"? I'd also imagine you'd start having (voltage?) issues with the connection being so long.

 

[ShowDog]

I have several Genesis, Sega CDs, and Saturns. But only one 32x. Would love to try something like this, that thing is awesome!

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Hey, i've got an extra CIB Toejam And Earl 2 that i would just love to trade to another collector in here, if they are looking for it!

 

[Teknoman]

Got Dragon Ball Z (Portuguese 1st print)

So could a Portuguese mega drive play Japanese games with no extra help? Looks like the same shape as a JP cart.

The game came with a free Mega Key 3 (its what it says on that big spike letter box).

 

[ZealousD]

Damn.

Finding a copy of Sonic 1 on eBay that doesn't have "NOT FOR RESALE" on it is surprisingly difficult.

you guys make fun but i miss consoles add ons.

 

[Pimpbaa]

So do I. I guess it's too expensive to add expansion ports that may or may not be used

 

[Baconbitz]

Question. How does the acclaim Wireless controller compare to the official Sega one?

 

[ZealousD]

you guys make fun but i miss consoles add ons.

Kinect was basically an add-on for the Xbox 360.

 

[sixteen-bit]

lol what if the Saturn and DC were modular too?

 

[Genesis Knight]

HD DVD on the 360 was like the karaoke add on or whatever.

 

[Yes Boss!]

HD DVD on the 360 was like the karaoke add on or whatever.

At least the crappy karaoke add-ons for the MD and DC were classy and integrated. HD-DVD drive is just pure damn crap style-wise. Connected by a cable...same reason I think folks who connect a crappy third-party HDs to Wii U (or Wii, even) are missing the plot. Fuck that noise.

 

[IrishNinja]

^agreed, i had an external for my wii that was hidden behind a shelf, in shame. people mock, but i love the tower of power the genesis made, design more add-ons uniformly like that!

32x was hardly uniform. It looks like a big bulbous tumor, regardless of which version of the Genesis you put it on.

 

[IrishNinja]

nonsense, it's the power converter's bulky/awkward cousin, nothing more

Spoiler

always thought it looked like a retarded mushroom

 

[Danneee]

So, I'm torn between buying a used MD1 or a new MD2. I've heard that there's image and sound differences between them, anything huge? I'm going to buy a RGB cable for it, is that going to negate or amplify the differences in quality?

MM96 is awesome, fond memories of playing that a lot as a kid.

Zero Tolerance I had to youtube to see what game that was, I would have loved to play that game as a kid, not because it looks like a doom clone but it just looks fun and cool.

 

[alienator]

So.. Yesterday (sunday 18-8-2013) a new cartridge for the Sega MegaDrive got released =)

By our team of international demoscene ninjas, we have build a demo for the Megadrive that will make your eyes melt.. in a good way.. i hope.. oh god what am i saying..

It ended up 1st place in the demoscene competition @ Evoke 2013, germany, alternative platform-compo.

Anyways, u can download the .bin file and put it on your own devkit, or Everdrive via SD card, to watch it on real hardware... since not a single emulator out there can display it 100% (not even exodus)

some features:
- everything 50hrz PAL full framrate
-13khrz custom sound engine
-awesome screen trickery
-512color display
-yadayayada

download link:

RIGHT HERE

Youtube capture :

so.. the first batch of carts has been sold out right away. but there might be a chance we will make some more.

Enjoy!

 

[pikablu]

The game came with a free Mega Key 3 (its what it says on that big spike letter box).

That is interesting!!! Were there any other games that came with this? So was this game not officially supported by Sega or something?

 

[Tain]

Enjoy!

This looks seriously awesome. I just got an Everdrive and was hoping to try out something like this. Would it have issues on an NTSC system?

This is the only one i remember.

I think it was, but Dragon Ball was very popular in Portugal and they wanted to cash in!

There was a 2nd print and they used the French version (PAL cartridge).

France had an official release of the Sailor Moon beltscroller too, IIRC

edit: whoops, looks I was thinking of the SNES one, not the MD one.
