Where were you when sega was manufacturing hardware? Your built in 32x/Neptune mod looks a lot better than the abysmal thing sitting in a cartridge port. I like the way you built it in, because im looking to build a genesis/32x/sega cd Tablet.

@leadbullet1990 Hehe, thanks leadbullet :) It's always easier to look back and change things though.

That's awesome man, looking foward to seeing it :D ..post a vid when you're done.

This is the coolest genesis mod i've ever seen. o.O

@TheMeleeMaster21  aww...thanks a lot! :)

Almost makes you wonder why Sega's huge team of developers couldn't do this from the start. Instead, we got a huge mess of wires and a cumbersome tumor on top of our genesises.

Can't blame them, they had less then a year to fully design it before its release date.

[thomas3120]

@jcrowley1985 That's one thing I liked about Sega...they weren't scared to release add-ons like the Sega CD, 32X and the Nomad is still one of my favorite handhelds :) But yeah, it would've been better if they released maybe an all in one system (Genesis, 32X & SegaCD)

My mod abilities only go as far as making arcade cabinets, but if I had your awesome abilities I'd follow this excellent mod of yours by next fusing the 32X with the SEGA CDX into one compact package, maybe that same model 2.

So Thomas, please show us what a 32X-CD Genesis console should (have) look like.

I said please...

[gameretrohard]

Simply beautiful! But better'd genesis model 1 modified with the Sega CD and insurance would have the 3 in 1 single console, you really have time to do this! Greetings!

[jorgito21st]

Thank is an awesome job I'm a huge sega fan what would be your labor charge to get this mod done?

[RiDstarX]

Wow this inspired me to start collecting Genesis and 32x games.. Only problem I would need this mod! And there's no way I could do this myself =. ( great mod Thomas !!
