Wow, small world. I happened to read the Racketboy article before I came here tonight. Never knew it was you, good job.

awesome, now I have a question, I noticed there area few games that do not play when plugged into the 32x (may be my genny) But one I noticed was EA's Shadow of the Beast

Are there any issues that you notice?

the only game I know of that isn't supposed to work in the 32X is virtua racing (Genesis version, but there is a better version for the 32X anyway, so problem solved) because the special chipset can't connect properly (or something along those lines) and the Master System converter thing doesn't work because it can't passthrough to the Z80 processor. Aside from that I think all games should work, its probably either the pins in your Genesis/32X playing tricks on you or the game itself being stubborn.

It's 'cause you forgot the semicolon at the end of the line.

Also, to the guy above me, nice bump: 16 Months. . . Nevertheless this is a cool mod, for the brick, you could try combining the two bricks to use a single connector.

Only two are known to exist. One is part of the CGE Gaming Museum, and the other on display at Sega of Japan's headquarters, both of which are just the plastic shell.

Hate to play Palmertech but I have to call BS on this one.

wow I didn't even notice it was that old.I was searching for info on why shadow of the beast doesn't work in the 32x, I never looked at the date. So does anybody know why it doesn't work? I thought it was just my system but I guess not.

According to the Wikipedia, at least one Sega Neptune was developed and worked. Kind of sad that they launched the 32X on the *same* day as they launched the saturn in Japan. Should have launched both at the same time...

According to the comments, the modder said he bridged the AC connection so it needs only 1 AC adapter...
