    Just curious—will the XM be available to order after it's completed?

     

    I've followed this project somewhat during its development, and I know there have ups and downs and delays and whatnot, so I'm not sure if the plan is to make only enough to cover the people who preordered these or if units will be available for sale after those preorders are fulfilled.

    I bought my 32X with Doom included on clearance for $15 back in the mid '90s. It was the only way for me to play Doom until I finally got a new PC in maybe '97. Even though it wasn't the best version, it was the version I had, and I was thrilled that I finally got to play this game that people had been talking about for years.

     

    I even like the music of the 32X version, but I'm sure that is mostly due to nostalgia. One thing I can say about the 32X version—for whatever reason, I don't remember getting motion sickness while playing it. I can't say the same about many FPS games released around that time.

    Which model segaCD do you have? Most likely the main logic could use a recap. I did mine sometime back. HOWEVER, I also made the mistake of recapping the laser assembly as well since those are included in the kit I got. And... the damn thing would not work anymore after that. Even when I installed the original caps..it refused to move up and down and home in anymore. Had to swap out the laser assembly with another one I has tucked away. So, the only thing I can think of, is that the new caps changed everything electrically so much, that is somehow immediately burned out the laser diode when it was first powered on. No amount of adjustment afterwards would resurrect it.

     

    I have the model 2. I'll need to look into a recap kit. I hope that's it and it's not the laser (not sure how difficult it is to find a replacement).

     

     

    These kinds of stories are why I (as somebody who has no soldering skill) am so excited about 100% (or 99.9999%) accurate clone consoles and will pay the price, but I'll never buy a Sega CD again for fear of this sort of thing.

     

    Yeah, I'm really hoping for a Sega CD ODE. I have to think that one will eventually get made, considering all of the consoles that have an ODE now (Turbo CD, FM Towns Marty, Saturn, PS1, Dreamcast, etc).

    Right, without the patch cable, you get no Genesis audio from the RCA jacks on the back of the Sega CD. I just keep the volume slider on my Genesis at max. It seems strange to me that Sega never released an official patch cable for this sized to the exact length needed (at least, if they did, I never remember seeing it).

     

    Off topic, but a couple of weeks ago, I finally started having issues with my Sega CD. I bought it new in 1995 (I think), so after 23 years, it finally needs some work. I really wish someone would come out with an ODE for the Sega CD.

    I finally got around to playing Horizon Zero Dawn this month and am close to finishing it. Probably won't until next month, though, as I'm focusing on horror games until Halloween.

     

    I've bought so many games recently that I need to get to—Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Shenmue I & II, Fist of the North Star, Nioh, The Last Guardian ... there's just never enough time.
