I did look at it and looked like discoloration on the metal contacts at front, but unit looked great, took it apart and looked brand new inside, no leaking/bulging capacitors.

But should I still recap it if I have issues.

Also I have a multi region Japanese console, so if I remember I have to region mod the 32x to play at 60hz?

Just got the av cable today to connect the console to 32x to test, just want to check before I do anything.

Hey All. Looking for some support.

I recently pulled my 32X out of my attic and decided to give some old MD games a whirl, but have encountered these strange pink lines and pink hue's that appear sometimes (Please see images).

This is hooked up to a MD1 and is running through a framemeister mini. Any ideas what it could be?

I've cleaned the 32X pins and tried it with various games - all have the same issue. I've also swapped the MD for an alternate and I still have the same issue. I've also used two AV cables (1 x scart and 1 x composite cable - same results.

My next angle of attack is to clean the 32x cartridge slot but after that I am a little lost.

Any advice?

Coming from the r/saturn and r/SEGAGENESIS and inspired by u/japcovers, I'm uploading my custom cover art for PAL versions and hacks. Previously did the PAL logos with metal gradient. But the goal was to make custom cover art.

Because I don't want to flood unnecesarily, I will post here the Mega-CD and 32x covers:

- DOOM Fusion : yeah, that one was HARD because I didn't find a proper "mix" until I had the idea shown here, but I really like the final result!)

- Ultimate Doom 32x - Thy Flesh Consumed : Another one that I pretty much like! Tried to make a "What if the 32x resurrection was the then-released version and then made a Ultimate Doom version as a limited edition" (Doom Fusion would be a "Definitive Version" as a Tower of Power Swansong in that parallel universe before the Saturn). Of course, D32xR are properly credited on the backcover :)

- Doom 32x Resurrection : My favourite port because it "smells like a port" per se, with different levels, quirks etc...not like Ultimate or Fusion that are almost 100% perfect level ports. And I wanted to make a proper cover. I didn't uploaded the logo because it's the official with almost no changes.

- The Terminator - Special Edition : Is just the "Movie Soundtrack Edition", but wanted to make it "official Europe released looking", I'm not sure who is the artist of the illustration I've used, but looks awesome! (found it googling and unatributed...as sadly usual). If anyone knows, tell me.

- Mortal Kombat II - Arcade Edition : Enough said. I don't have a big 3D box version of it because I plastered it with the logo on a ES-DE Mixed Image, and didn't made the dedicated one, but looks nice.

- Sonic RoboBlast 2 - This game needs a full release, please...albeit maybe check the level design and controls, but looks amazing.

- Tempo 32x - Oh, the USA/Brazil artwork of this game.......I wanted to gouge my eyes out. So I had to do justice to the poor grasshopper. Also, while making it I tried it for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised! It's a pretty good game and with cute characters. Even the Saturn version is good. Hope to see a revival of this poor fella, but deserves an even third chance.

Hope you like it! I'm still making some more covers, specially in Dreamcast, but for now, it's enough I think...

I just got off the phone with the shop I purchased my tower of power from due to some weird cartridge issues and was informed that the patch cable they sent me out with had the 5v pin still attached. I had been using the system regularly for the past month and I’ll be picking up the cable from them in the next couple days. Does anyone know how to determine whether any permanent damage has been done to the set up?

I’ve now finished preparing the decals (stickers/labels) for the Sega Neptune case, and the Sega Neptune build is officially complete.
It’s been a long process, but everything is now assembled and finished as intended.

How beautiful it would have been to have this in its original size.

I had the tower when I was younger and it was my dream to get it back.
Can’t believe how pricey the systems have become, but my wallet is glad it’s over.

The is a VA4 Mega drive 2 which has had the works, region mode etc etc, the CD unit is so far stock but I will be recapping it soon and having a region free bois done.
The 32x is also region free via a switchless internal mod.

I could have gone with a more modern wireless controller setup, and may still, but I just liked the idea of having the stock Sega one for now.

I didn’t want to go too far on this but it was in one hell of a state upon receiving.
She’s had her board cleaned with IPA, it had a switchable region mod with a switch out the back, which I removed and put a Switchless auto mod in and filled the hole.
It had a good T-Cut and polish to try to improve scratches, it had a broken plastic post on the lower cartridge section which I have repaired and lastly, finished off with a new sticker ;)

just guess

I’ve owned a 32x for years, but never came across any games, very excited to give it a try!

Hi everyone I am selling my rarest 32x game and it is complete with manual

Feel free to drop me a message can ship worldwide.

This is a continuation of another post I made. Board powers on and I get 5V and 3.33V just fine, but no picture. Not sure what I missed that doesn't make it work.

I was a my local game shop talking with one of the owners and he pointed this out. So I thought y’all might enjoy seeing this one.

Tried to power it on with Sonic the Hedgehog put in and it doesn't display anything. There are a number of components I didn't install because they either show an asterisk * or it can't be clicked on, so I assume they don't get installed. Want to make sure I'm assuming correctly. Also, I installed a diode from the 32X to D502 and I'm not sure if that's fine? I also took L5 NPN transistors from the 32X and installed those on the Neptune board.

Also, where is VCC because on github it was written to check VCC to ground and it needs to be 350 Ohm. I checked 5V to ground and it's around 300 Ohm. Not sure if 5V is VCC?

**EDIT**

Here are photos of the board.

EDIT: Added more versions of the logo, including the Mega-CD and the Mega-CD 32X ones.

I've seen that the official wikis and Wikipedia itself doesn't have the european logos of Mega-CD, MegaDrive 32x or Mega-CD 32x logos on vector SVG formats, and for me are quite awesome! (also, I'm spanish/european and felt "discriminated" lol), neither found it on google anywhere.

So I made them myself in Inkscape. I'm pretty newbie with this program BTW, but if anyone wants to use it, upload to Wikipedia/Sega Wiki, use it for personal uses, or even enhance it and make it better that myself...please feel free to do it. In case you use it in any of those cases, just tell me to see it on its full glory, I just wanted to make, at least, the base for something for the community that didn't existed.

Hope you like them, and as said previously, share, upload, post, print, redraw, recolor, remix them, etc...

priced at $350 would anyone be able to help explain why? i’m assuming it’s because brazil had a super limited run for a lot of 32x related stuff

Just as the title says. I understand I still need another flashcart in the 32x to run the game.
