    I for one loved GT2. I never played GT1. It seems like the GT series has cycles of good and bad games.

     

     

    I have no comment for GT1 but... GT2 was amazing! GT3 was just okay. GT4 was amazing! GT5 was a big dissapointment. GT6, if the cycle stays the same, will be what GT5 should have been!

    The fact that it brings up the region lockout screen is very weird. Here's a picture of the PAL and Japanese versions of 32X -- I assume your cart isn't one of these:

    Otherwise I guess something must be happening to make your cart think that it's playing on a PAL or, maybe, Japanese system. IIRC the Genesis "defaults" to US-NTSC mode, so if a trace were broken or something that'd be the most likely possibility. I don't know how the 32X handles region checking, if at all -- it may just have 50 vs. 60 Hz modes.

     

    My cart looks like none of those.

     

    I took a video showing a 32x game and genesis game that work. Then the 32x copy of virtua racing that doesnt. Now you guys can see what I am seeing. Click the image to see the video.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are you sure it's the 32X version of Virtua Racing? The reason I ask is the regular Genesis version (the super tall cart version on left) will NOT work if plugged into a 32x due to some special circuitry in the cart.

     

    I have the smaller cart 32x labeled cart.

     

    And for those that missed my brothers post.

     

    My 32x is literally brand new. Found it sealed at a thrift store. Has about 20 minutes play time on it.

     

    I gave every game a good cleaning before inserting it for the first time to minimize transfer of oxidation. And yes all the cables are hooked up properly. Has both power cords plugged in as well as the link cable between genny and 32x and the RF shields installed properly.

     

    The system works fine with my other games. Just this one is posing a problem.

     

    I also have the model 2 genesis MK-1614S and 32X model MK-84001A

    My brother found a copy of virtuia racing for the 32x at a swap meet.

     

    Today I tried popping it in my 32x and shows the typical produced by/licensed by Sega jargon. After that I get a blank black screen. When I hit the reset button it says "Developed for use only with NTSC genesis systems."

     

    What the? So I take it my genesis is the problem? I mean, its labeled as a sega genesis, not a mega drive. So wouldnt that mean my genesis is NTSC?

    So I got a very nice gg off ebay a bit ago, and it makes an electrical whining sound through the speakers and headphones. I thought it was a capacitor issue like I have read everywhere, so I ordered a replacement soundboard off ebay from a seller who replaced all the known to go bad capacitors with new ones.

     

    I got it fitted today and it still makes the damn noise! So it cant be the cap issue. I unscrewed the two halves of the gg and I could modify the pitch of the whine by moving the two halves closer or further from each other. So Im not sure what the heck is going on.

     

    Any ideas. I waited a month for the replacement sound board to arrive from the UK only to find out it didnt make a difference. So something else must be going on but I have no idea what.

     

    Here is a video of the sound.
