how do i get get stereo sound playing music cd's using the two audio outs on the sega cd to my tv ? when i plugged in both rca cables (red and white) i only get sound out of one speaker.
NO YOU'RE ALL WRONG!!! The metal plate and spacers aren't just for shielding RF noise, it's to connect each unit's chassis to a single ground. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you use the plate and spacer to protect both the components and YOU from electric shock in case of a short. (as far as shocking you goes, that's mainly if the rectifier in the ac adapter shorts out.)
@dziltener And that would be a load of bull, has never been proven, and is only possible if someone is rubbing their socks on a carpet.. The cartridge connector itself has a ground pin, so it already blows out that excuse..
Look at all those black boxes stuck together! Now that is sexy. I'm serious it looks good. Nevermind what the critics like the AVGN say. If you are a hardcore Sega Freak, this is worth it. Too bad you couldn't put the Saturn on the bottom. That would have been even better. My only gripe this that they all have different power addaptors.
i just bought a sega cd model1, i was wondering: what's that "lock" button thing on the left? is it to hold the mixing cable? Is it supposed to be loose?
I bought a sega cd model 1 and model 1 genesis pal consoles. the sega cd didnt come with a mixing cable. I hooked it up through rf and when i put games there are some sound effects but it is missing others ie voices in certain games. Can anyone tell me will a mixing cable solve this. Thanks.
@kb96215 No, if you are using the RF cable, the Genesis mixes that internally, and it's possible the CD is corrupted, or it's a burned CD and it's not burned correctly.
The mixing cable is ONLY for the RCA jacks on the back of the Sega CD, to include Genesis sounds.
@hakemon i have a real copy of ground zero texas and there is no sound at all however I did burn snatcher there was sound just no voices and i tested it in an emulator so i know there should be . The megadrive sound works perfect just not the sega cd. Thanks for your help anyway much appreciated.
My Sega Genesis/Sega CD/32X combo really needs a thorough cleaning! I've had my Genesis since 1990, Sega CD since 1992 and the 32X since 1994. I really have difficulty trying to play games! Genesis/32X games don't play when I turn on the console, I have to turn the power switch on and off repeatedly, or remove the cartridge repeatedly. The Sega CD is the biggest problem, it doesn't turn on right away either, and the picture is really distorted, it also constantly ejects Sega CD games, too...
I was sold the model 1 genesis, model 1 sega cd, and the 32x, but he didn't sell me the adaptor from for the AV in/out, which you said was from "mini DIN to DIN" or something like that? so what is that adaptor called if I'm looking for it?
Are you sure about that? I'm going thoroughly clean my Genesis/Sega CD/32X combo soon, and I really want to remove the metallic shields. I think they're causing a buzzing sound in the audio when I turn on console...
@SEGA128DC - I'm looking at my 32X/GEN/SCD combo lying on the floor right now, and it's been used without magnetic shields for quite a while now. None in the Genesis slot (32x) and none under the Genesis. I did use them all when I first had my systems. But I never used RF so I don't use them any more and now I see it doesn't matter. I don't know what's causing your buzzing though. Go ahead and remove them.
@SEGA128DC - Ya know one of the funnest ways to clean out dust and hairballs that collect in systems?? Go to RADIO SHACK and ask for CyberClean. :) I used it on my gamecube. Got all the dirt and dust corroded on the fan and stuff, and under the disc drive.
There is something odd about this video... Don't get me wrong, it's very well done and I learned a lot from it, but there is something about it I can't quite put my finger on...
I have a mate whos working on combining all three systems into one system so its one power adapter, and RCA with stereo as standard. He's not made much progress though mainly due to university
Does the 32X mono A/V cable have only 2 pins inside the plug end? I have one that looks exactly like the one you use, but I'm not sure whether or not it's the right one for my system.
A standard Genesis model 1 adapter will work. I use a 10v version (it's stamped on the adapter) instead of a 9v. I don't know if that makes a difference though.
@Riddler95 Sega CD Model 1 and 2 use the MK-1602 Power adapter that's also used on the Genesis 1. 9V, 1.2A. An adapter from an NES will fit and says it has the same voltage - but -DON'T- use it or it can fry the console. Try to use an original MK-1602.
Genesis 2 and 32x use the 10v, 850mA adapter, MK-2103.
i have the genesis 1 and sega cd 1 combo (no 32x) but i cant figure out how to hook it up. is all i need the power adapter and something that hooks up from the tv to the system?
these releases were all I ever saw in stores. Don't know where everybody is getting all the version 2's from, never even saw those. This looks more organized and overall better.
LOL that poor old genesis sandwiched in between the the 32x & sega cd you gotta feel for it, making the 32x plug through compatible with genesis/md carts, very good thinking sega but "Three!" hefty power adaptors... not so good thinking sega.
If it's a model 1 Genesis it isn't for sure. If you have a model 2 genesis, then you can. Model 1's required a mixing cable, Sega even says so in the manual.
the genesis 1 and genesis 2 have different pinouts for the av port, hence the need for the adapter, the genesis 1 has only mono out on the back but the genesis 2 has stereo out on the back
1:01--Just FYI, that shield also holds the genesis in place, so it doesn't break the expansion slot, when you remove a game....It does a bit more than just shield interference
It should have just been a Sega CDX from the beginning. Look at that giant mountain of plastic. I'm trying to get a sega CD now for a decent price...but man what a beast of a console you have there.
A bought a Mega Drive cartridge and it played just fine on my Genesis, does that mean a Mega Drive 32X game would work on a Genesis 32X, and a Mega CD game work on my Sega CD?
NO! You were just lucky because some Genesis can play Mega Drive games! But that's not the case with 32x or Mega CD games! If you use an European or Japanese 32x or Mega CD game it will not work... unless you moddify them...
is it possible to create your own cable to connect a 32x to a model 2 megadrive/genesis? i have bought a 32x with no cables and i cannot seem to find the cable which connects the two on the internet!
hey i have a sega genesis model 1 differnt version and a sega cd model 2 and i dont have the sheild thing and the 32x. but i have not recived a sega cd power so i used a yobo power supply and when i hook it up it didnt show all i got for awile was either elertic sound out of the tv or black. plz help
What was this power supply originally designed to run? More importantly, what are the specs? (voltage, power type, and polarity)
You better hope you didn't run a power supply that had the wrong polarity or fed downconverted AC power because if any of these two are the case, you've just fried your Sega CD.
It's to keep the ferrite beads on one side of the cable, as the adapter for model 1's have a ferrite bead also. So when attached to each other, ferrite beads are opposite of each other, and not a bead on the middle of the cable essentially.
you betta recognize sonz! Seriously, the High Definition Graphics model had the best RGB -> composite conversion so it had the best picture of all Genesis models. Also, since it used a full chipset, the audio is also the best. Best of all, almost no one knows there is a quality difference between models, so people in the know can snag a high def model for ~$20
Composite video sucked on all models of Genesis until it went through the 32X...
Audio on the other hand was great. Most model 1's had an external Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesizer and it sounded quite good, before they integrated it into the glue chip.
All model 1 consoles I've seen used a Yamaha YM-2612 along with a Texas Instruments PSG chip and a Zilog Z80 CPU as the controller.
There were even some generation 2 (smaller) Genesis consoles that used an actual YM-2612 chip. I ought to know as I have a generation 2 that has a separate YM-2612 and a separate Z80 sound controller CPU.
But, yeah, most gen 2 consoles used an LSI for the sound instead of discrete chips so the gen 2 I have is rare.
There were a small ammount of model 1's that used model 2 parts with all integrate logic.
Btw, there was never an external PSG chip, ever. Even on the original launch Model 1's, it was always integrated into the VDP chip that's SEGA marked.
ok so lets make sure everyone knows how to put it into super battleship formation but first we have to check if the IO shield is in place before commencing bsf.
i have the same sega genesis model, but a different sega cd model, (i believe 2) and i cannot get the audio or video from the sega cd to show up on the TV
The 32X has an issue where two white ribbons inside can get loose. This usually happens when they came out of the factory and subjected to the rough vibrations.
hi i dont have the 32x (yet) just the megadrive(genisis) and the mega CD what is the best way to get stereo sound from both systems through an AV amp withoout having to swithc channel or use two leads (if poss) ? thanks ,Baco
I got my 32X just two or three day ago and it took less 2 minutes to set up both the Genesis and the 32X.
The only reason why it took even that much time was because it was dark and I couldn't see where to put the plugs, so if your going to set it up in a mildly lit room be sure to use a flashlight.

at 0:11 -> high definiton graphics? WTF???
davecarldude 3 years ago
oh yes! just dont try playing it on an HD tv, not watcha think...
LeeMan00 3 years ago
they sorta boasted graphics, which i suppose were pretty good for the time, 1989 i think, i still have a genesis, and just got a 32x, cool vid
LeeMan00 3 years ago
you betta recognize sonz! Seriously, the High Definition Graphics model had the best RGB -> composite conversion so it had the best picture of all Genesis models. Also, since it used a full chipset, the audio is also the best. Best of all, almost no one knows there is a quality difference between models, so people in the know can snag a high def model for ~$20

Composite video sucked on all models of Genesis until it went through the 32X...
Audio on the other hand was great. Most model 1's had an external Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesizer and it sounded quite good, before they integrated it into the glue chip.
hakemon 3 years ago
that's not true, composite out of my hi-def model 1 is identical to output through the 32X, or at least negligibly worse.
neogeon 3 years ago
Oh it be true. You will see that the Gen had rainbow patterns where the 32X did not, and showed a proper picture.
hakemon 3 years ago
All model 1 consoles I've seen used a Yamaha YM-2612 along with a Texas Instruments PSG chip and a Zilog Z80 CPU as the controller.
There were even some generation 2 (smaller) Genesis consoles that used an actual YM-2612 chip. I ought to know as I have a generation 2 that has a separate YM-2612 and a separate Z80 sound controller CPU.
But, yeah, most gen 2 consoles used an LSI for the sound instead of discrete chips so the gen 2 I have is rare.
Watcher3223 3 years ago
There were a small ammount of model 1's that used model 2 parts with all integrate logic.
Btw, there was never an external PSG chip, ever. Even on the original launch Model 1's, it was always integrated into the VDP chip that's SEGA marked.

Slip of the memory regarding the PSG. Sorry about that.

Awesome! BTW how do Sega CD 32X games work, since it requires the SCD and 32x together.
TwighlightMist 3 years ago
The cd 32X games require both a cartridge and a discs for the CD to be put in at the same time.
I would suggest having the channel go through the 32X.
Since the genesis' sound might not fully adapt to both frequencies in synchrony.

hakemon, you wouldn't happen to know where I can get a spare 32x to genesis 2 cable would you?

ok so lets make sure everyone knows how to put it into super battleship formation but first we have to check if the IO shield is in place before commencing bsf.
TylursVideo 3 years ago
The shield is useless, because it was 1, only for FCC passing, and 2, both consoles are enclosed in a giant RF shield to begin with, internally.
hakemon 3 years ago
What about that part that goes into the side?
I forget, but it's another part to add onto the sega gangbang.

Also can the model 2 cd work with the model 1 genesis.

Yes. All combinations work with each other.

will genesis model 2 work on Sega CD 1?

I've answered this on here already, yes it will work.
hakemon 3 years ago
i have the same sega genesis model, but a different sega cd model, (i believe 2) and i cannot get the audio or video from the sega cd to show up on the TV
zzmann007 3 years ago
Then your Sega CD is dead. Nothing special is required for that configuration. The audio should be there and so should the video.
The model 2 just like the model 1, sends the video data and audio signals to the Genesis via the expansion bus connector.
hakemon 3 years ago
also, where would i get one of the shields?
19Bigfoot85 3 years ago
Not required at all. The consoles have internal shielding already. Those plates were only there to please the FCC.
hakemon 3 years ago
where do you get all of the needed cables, such as the DIN to Mini DIN adapter?
19Bigfoot85 3 years ago
Came with it.

SUPER BATTLESHIP FORMATION GO!!!!!1
Anyway, it's not possible to hook up the Genesis 2 to the Sega CD 1 is it? I just randomly thought about it a while ago, and now I'm curious...
akumacornflakes 3 years ago
It is indeed possible and i have done it.
The RCA jacks on the back of the Sega CD just won't have Genesis sound, EVER.. But the AV out on the Genesis is full of all sound and video.
hakemon 3 years ago
lol i had one of these it was a hunk of crap it only worked for a week

The 32X has an issue where two white ribbons inside can get loose. This usually happens when they came out of the factory and subjected to the rough vibrations.
Easy fix, reseat white ribbons.
hakemon 3 years ago
thanks man hay i just got the model 2 sega cd and a model 2 genesis. like you said it's sounds confusing but it's really easy. thanks
jamiestrickler 3 years ago
Its still pretty simple though.
I mean, you'd have to be pretty retarded not to be able to figure this out.
But hakemon made this vid because he knew there were some of those people out there.
Except I didn't know before this that the prongs and the spacer were not neccesary at all.

I'm digging the bithin' modded first batch Genny 1. I'm guessing those are overclock switches and stereo out capability on the left?
TenchiFreak5 3 years ago
region and stereo mods
hakemon 3 years ago
No it is pretty easy.
I got my 32X just two or three day ago and it took less 2 minutes to set up both the Genesis and the 32X.
The only reason why it took even that much time was because it was dark and I couldn't see where to put the plugs, so if your going to set it up in a mildly lit room be sure to use a flashlight.
