Game.Hack Season 1 Episode 10 - Sega CD

Ahh, the venerable Sega CD. A lot of these systems bit the dust over the years and most ended up in landfills. This week we show you the most common reason for the Sega CD system to fail, and a cheeky way to repair it.

this is great ive had one layin around that someone gave me yrs ago an it wouldnt power up, just got done taking it apart to find the fuse u just replaced has no continuity so my next step is picking up one of those fuses u have there, problem is i dont know where to get one. nearest radio shake is next town an thats bout a 45 minute drive, any idea where i could rip one out of an old electronic or how i could test it to see what the voltage an amps are on what i can find??? thanx for this fix

@capthowdy126 In short, yes. Easily. In long, well... don't go 'testing them for amps'. Look at the back of the machine you are taking the donor part from and check it's actual voltage and amp ratings instead (on the label on the bottom or back). Also, you are looking for similar wattage ratings. You can also work off of the simple formula: Watts = Volts multiplied by amps.

And you say that's a bad thing?

Play some Snatcher or the dozen or so excellent Shot'em ups on the Sega CD.

Or you could play Shining Force CD.

Hey interesting vid, my mega cd powers up and plays games fine but it wont let me format the ram or memory. This stops me playing sonic cd as i think tht game game needs the extra ram? Also would a modded megadrive be safe to connect to the mega cd or might it cause it to blow a fuse?

[capthowdy126]

@ReddmanDGZ sweet thanx man, i'll give it a shot see if i cant find something, an another question... i found a small fuse from a car thats a 3 amp.... would that be safe or not... im really just wantin to find something to try it an see if it is good. it want be left hooked up at all times just when being played so an thanx again

@ReddmanDGZ If I'm not mistaken most games that came out on the Sega CD had english versoins. Maybe they weren't releaced in the US but they are out there. As for the 32X it only had like 45 games made for it or something crazy like that.

Also, I never said they were easy to find, or cheap for that matter, just that they are around. Not to mention the Sega CD had no copy protection so you can download the isos burn them to a CD and play them on the system. There's even homebrew games for it.
