Sega CDA while back i bought a sega cd from a store for $10 (core 2) it came with a core 2 gen system and about 3 cd games. It wasnt working however. It wouldnt even boot up. I couldn't find a single place to repair it without shipping it across the country and playing at least $50. I managed to fix it however by disabling the fuse by wrapping bare wire around it. A better solution would of been to replace the fuse.
Games
One of the games I got was scratched and would freeze up during a certain point. I managed to get around this by burning a copy and ignoring the errors. Luckily the scratch was during a cut scene (which was choppy during game play afterwards).
If you sonic the hedgehog 3 does not save games anymore then the cartridge needs replacing. I have looked on the net and some places say that the cartridge internal battery needs replacing. I opened up the cartridge and didnt find anything I could replace. I also contacted sega about it they too said to buy a new copy from www.sega-parts.com. I havent bothered replacing it since I have a copy of sonic jam which allows saves anyways.
Sega 32x + Gen
I found there was a problem hooking the two up if you put the cable that connects the two in backwards or if you didnt put the connector where the sega cd plugs it. Virtua racing always froze if i didnt have that plug it. It worked fine when I plugged the cd system up as well.
Controllers
I found after a while one of the buttons on my 6 button first party controller didnt have any 'spring' left. I managed to fix it by opening up a spare 3 button and switching some of the rubber parts. I haven't had a problem since.
Sega CD
Burned copies of NTSC Lunar 1 and 2 from cd images for some reason do not work in Core 2 Sega CD systems. I do not have an actual copy to try and copy but the image files I have found do not work (i have tried multiple images from different sources). The emulate fine however both burned and as images.
Sega Activator
Right now I am having a problem with one of the 8 pannels not working. I am currently contacting sega to see if they have any suggestions. I have tried moving the pannels around to different places. That seems to work for the other pannels that were not responding but this pannel never works no matter where it is. I have a feeling it is dead. I have tried different games including 'activated' ones as well as different rooms and lighting. Anyone have any suggestions?
