  1. I have sunk about $200 into this Genesis already so I don't want to go buy another piece of equipment. If it was a problem with the cables or converter box, why would the problem only happen at certain times in a game? I have two copies of Sonic 2. One is the not for resale edition. I tried entering the bonus stage on both carts and on one of the carts, the problem happens as soon as the stage starts. On the not for resale edition, the problem happens halfway through it. I have tried it a few times and it the same thing happens each time. I don't think my TV is the problem either because if it couldn't handle the 240p signal, this setup wouldn't work at all.
  2. Sorry that it's been a while since I replied to my own topic. Life gets busy and you forget things. I ended up buying a HD model 1 Genesis, a scart cable, and a scart to component adapter. I tried out Contra Hard Corps first thing and it looks amazing! But then I tried other games and.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHhSlgyZ5Bw Does anyone know what could be causing this? I signed up for Sega-16 over a month ago and I'm still unable to make posts there to ask for help. Edit: The problem only seems to happen in certain parts of games. For example, in Sonic 2, it only happens in the bonus stage. In Shining Force 2, it starts happening when you see the witch.
  3. I didn't know this at first, but apparently I can combine a model 1 Genesis with a model 2 Sega CD? In that case, I'll go with the model 2. That'll be purchased later though. I just want my Genesis asap. Yeah, it's pretty expensive. I'm thinking the Sega CD will be bought later on. Top priority is getting my Genesis. I think I'm going to order the cables from Rob Webb's site consolegoods.co.uk. I've read people have good experiences with his products. Going to go look for a SCART switch and a SCART to component adapter next.
  4. Excellent thread. I have decided to go with a model 1. I'll look out for the best revision so I can get the best sound. I also decided that I will use a scart cable like this one: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150822698169 and buy a SCART to Component converter. But there are a bunch of different SCART to Component converters. Some require a power supply to use others do not. Can anyone recommend a SCART to component converter? I have read that SCART carries sound as well as video. How do I get stereo sound out of my Genesis with this method?
  5. Hi everyone, I am thinking about buying a Genesis but I'm not sure which model to buy. I have some concerns and I need advice. Keeping in mind that I live in Canada. Which is more reliable, the model 1 CD add-on or the model 2? I want the best picture quality. RF just isn't going to cut it. I'd take composite only if there was no other way. Any advice on my options? I have heard about SCART to Component adapters. Will this set up work on a North American Genesis? Is it pricey? If the aforementioned method is not the best way, is there anyone in Canada who will mod my Genesis? [*]Is it worth it to get a region mod? Are there many great import only games? [*]I have heard about "black bars" in the picture on some set ups. How can I avoid this? [*]I also have heard some TVs have trouble with the Genesis because of... something about the NTSC spec. Genesis is 228 and the spec is 227.5 or something. My TV is a Sony KDL-EX500. My priority is picture quality. If, for some reason, I have to sacrifice the CD add-on for a chance at better PQ, I will. Thanks for reading. I'm sure there are many knowledgable people on here who can point me in the right direction.
