The sexier console is the model II. Think of it as a skinny blonde compared to the dumpy brunette model I. :lol:

They're both pretty much the same console, so there's no real advantage of getting either a model I or II. If you want a smaller piece of kit, go for the model I Genesis & Sega-cd combo. The best-looking arrangement, though, is the model II Genesis and the model II Sega-CD.

Model 2 Genesis and Sega CD look oh-so sexy together!

Model 1 Genesis + 32X with Model 2 Sega CD.
There's your best combo.

With model 2 you don't have to wait for the tray to open.

^agreed

Plus the tray won't get worn out on the model 2
The model 2's motor won't wonk out on you the same way either.

Personally I love the Genny1, SegaCD1 and 32X combo. I think it looks oh so elegant and still fits in my entertainment center. The model2 Sega CD is way to long.

Also I have personally had lots of problems with model 2s, along with my friend. He had gone through 2 model 2s and is on his 3rd. 2 model 2s of mine have blown. I still have the same Model 1 Sega CD that I got back when I was 9 or 10 (Im 21 now)

My model 1 broke down on me after only 5 years.
so I have few positive thoughts about it.

I did have to take mine apart once and do a little cleaning to the CDrom, but that was it.

All the Model 2's I had fried somewhere on the main board. My friend had one of his fry on the main board and the other had the power board burn out.

This is the rig I have too; all 1st gen stuff. If you like to take up all the Z-space, or have a skyscraper fetish, this is your rig. Its buggy though. I have to slide the genny to and fro the SCD to scrape the oxidation from the interface once in a while.

And I love how the CD tray slides in and out so smoothly... JVC really did a good job with it. Just like I said, the interface itself gets cruddy quick.

A tad dusty-looking. Don't you ever clean it off?

lordofduct

07-19-2005, 10:49 PM

Actually... no.

I'm never home to use it, I am rather busy all the time. The only time I ever even go online is when I'm here at work (where I am right now).

I haven't even played my genny for months now. I turned it on recently to test it cause I am looking to sell it over on SX in the B/S/T section. I also am selling all my other collection. NES, SNES, 3DO, VIS, (lots of anagrams), XBOX(modded way out), GC, GBASP, GG, DC, Saturn, I have 4 32Xs, 3 genny's, another Sega CD, all kinds of crap.

the list goes on and on...

Hey per chance anyone here looking for a HUGE sonic collection?

clicky the image to enlarge!!

I have 4 32Xs,

Dude, sell me one. The one I bought ended up dying on me, couldn't fix it at all or anything (blew that money away). :(

So yeah, here's one prospective buyer.

The 32X is actually fairly simple to fix, seeing as the main culprit is usually a loosened cable inside the thing.

One downside... I only have cross over cables for one. I do have the cartridge shielding plates.

So if you have the crossover cable I'll sell ya one. PM me.

I gotta say I still think the original Model 1's together look the sexiest. Ive had mine 12 years now and it wors flawlessly. I HAVE given more leeway to the Model 2's, but i still find the Model 1's the best. If we are going by ALL the ones available, then, to me, it has to be the Victor/JVC Wondermega (just a wee bit sexier than the Sega model, which is 99.9% the same exact machine), then the CD-x, then the Model 1 setup and possibly the Aiwa boombox. *sigh* gotta love those lights on the Wondermega ;)

I like the slick look of the Genesis 2 with a model 2 Sega CD, but I prefer the bios of the Sega CD model 1, and the Model 1 genesis for it's compatibility, and better sound.

I can attest to those white ribbon cables being a bitch... I did what the guide said, and now my 32x and Genesis are working like a champ!

What looks better

Genesis V1 W/ Sega CD V1 & pwerbase converter?
OR
Genesis V2 W/ SegaCD V2 & 32x system?

Why am I asking? I have a sega v1 w/ powerbase, and a sega v2 w/ 32x in my personal collection. And I can't figure out which segacd i wanna get?

Are there any benefits of one over the other?

Model 1 Genesis with the Model 1 SCD and the PBC. "It's not damn sexy! It's Sega Sexy!" :cool:

I cant say I really find any of my hardware sexually attractive.

As awesome as my MegaDrive1/MegaCD1/32X combo looks I've never once felt the need to sexually satisfy myself when I look at it.

So lets just say I find this pleasing to look at:

This Thread is how old?

Well, since its been brought back from the Dead, i would have to say that the Genesis/Sega CD Model II is the best looking.

The Genesis/32x alone is not too bad.

The most hideous looking is the Genesis/Sega CD Model I with the 32x attached.

Too bad there was never a re-release of the 32x

It doesn't look too bad I must say. Shame Sega was never allowed to release the spacer for it. Even had a pic of it in the manual!

I ended up not keeping my PBC, but I definitely prefer the Genesis 1 Sega CD 1 combo with or without a 32X attached. I love the smooth curves, chiseled Sega Genesis logo and grill of the Genesis, and I love the bulging cartridge connector of the Sega CD 1, not to mention the front loading tray, lights and prominent Sega CD logo. The closest thing in sheer high tech "cool" aesthetic in my mind is a Laseractive.

From there I'd say the Genesis 2 Sega CD 2 looks nice, definitely much nicer than the "I'm a fax machine shell" of the Master System 2. ;) I also like the X'eye and don't like the CDX.

The model 1 Genesis and Sega cd combo is one of the sexiest things ever. I might just pleasure myselt looking at it. I mean, I'm not a pervert and have never done it, but someday I might.

I did the model 2 Genesis with the Sega CD model 1 out of curiosity a few years back. It requires you to removed some of the rubber feet off the model 2 in order for it to fit low enough to meet the Sega CD connector (even mentioned in the Genesis model 2 console instruction manual). I took it off because the model 1 looks amazing on the SCD 1. Not so much the model 2.

I like how you have personalised the mega cd with the sega sticker! :)

I still have a few of them from back in the day. A small portable tv in my house had a new sticker everytime I got a new game!

Also, Pier Solar! Are you testing it on a flash cart for WM games?
