32X dual monitoring

[evildragon]

I have figured out how you can dual monitor a Sega 32X.. It's so ingenius too..

Do not do this mod as there's no reason to do it, as there's no game or software that even does this method (i only wrote a quick test app to test the theory)

1. Cut the R, G, B lines going TO the 32X, but leave the C-Sync line (this allows the 32X to not have Genesis video, but have a stable image to show it's own picture.)

2. Connect the Composite Video on the Genesis to TV 1.

3. Connect the Composite Video on the 32X to TV 2.

Tada, dual monitoring..

Now, all you have to do is make a program that uses the Genesis VDP to show one image, and the 32X VDP to show another...

What this mod does: Stops the "overlaying", or "mixing" from taking place, and then allows us to have two completely independent VDPs, instead of one VDP complementing the other...
I will show pictures of this running soon when I can (im not at home at the moment)

Other useless 32X info:

Every try to put a Game Genie on your 32X and then a 32X game on that? Won't even boot, will it? Well don't commit suicide, try this instead! Put the Game Genie between the 32X and the Genesis. Plug the 32X game into the 32X. Power everything on. Get past the Game Genie boot screen. It may take 10 seconds or so, but the 32X game will boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game Genie codes won't work with it, though. If you plug a Genesis game into the 32X, it will work right away and with Game Genie codes.

I also thought that maybe a super special game would pop up if you plugged the Sonic & Knuckles cart into the Genesis and the 32X on top of that with Knuckles' Chaotix in the 32X, but nope. The S&K cart ignores the 32X.

Congratulations! You've wasted nearly a minute of your life reading this, and for what? NOTHING!

no, it's to inspire programmers to take advantage of this...

I'm talking about my post, not yours. I don't think any programmers will take advantage of a Game Genie stuck between the Genesis and 32X.

Funny. Nice to know it has been attempted.
