Austin Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If it were nothing but plastic, it seems it would only obstruct the door even worse. I was thinking the same thing. Although, cosmetically, I suppose it would at least look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 That would be the question... does it allow the door to open more or just steady the 32X? I love my CDX, but rarely use it with my 32Xs for that reason. I keep my Genesis 1/CD2 setup with the 32X... and a modded Gamecube power brick to power the thing! Since it was SEGA themselves, getting hold of someone who knows would be very tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 This makes me wonder what a 32x sitting on top of a Genesis 3 would look like. Has anyone tried putting the 32x on top of that new Genesis with 80 built in games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This makes me wonder what a 32x sitting on top of a Genesis 3 would look like. Remarkably similar to a genesis 3, actually, but with a 32x attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I seem to remember it having something to do with RF shielding, something like Sega of America didn't get FCC approval for the 32x/cdx combo as they rushed it out the door. I know I ran both together for a while when I had those devices, probably 20 years ago, and nothing bad happened. It would probably fuzz out your AM radio reception or something.

TaskenLander Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) On the cusp of purchasing a 32x for my CDX. Can anyone or 'ones' definitively tell my OCD ass that it, the 32x, won't in anyway 'fry' or damage my CDX?? PLEASE and THANK YOU!!

TaskenLander Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 No, didn't miss. Just read somewhere that a 32x could potentially "fry" a CDX, but it was just a user on youtube's comments, so... Bought one today. Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaskenLander Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Update: Just got my 32x from the post office today. Hooked it up to my CDX -- LOVE IT! Works/looks great! Not sure what I was so worried about lol. Definitely a worthwhile edition, IMO, to your Sega Genesis collection/set up. Thanks again to those who contributed their thoughts to this thread. ,Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Glad to see you are enjoying! I think the 32X has a solid enough set of games, especially considering the cost of entry for the add-on itself isn't that expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaskenLander Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Eh, I personally feel like *I* overpaid but it came w/ everything minus the box and I've been wanting one for so long now that cost almost wasn't a concern. Just glad to finally have one. Looking at the set up now its almost kind of weird to think of a time when my CDX didn't have the 32x ad on attached; they look so good together IMO. Definitely looking forward to seeking out some titles (I bought Star Wars to test it out with). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markimus of K. Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 oh great, he got one. Now if anything happens to his CDX we're all on the hook for the ensuing Therapy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Lol. I quit using my cdx and went back to my old setup of Genesis 1, CD 2, and 32x because of how pricey the cdx was I became worried about wearing it out. Those things have gotten too expensive to use as an everyday machine for me. That and my copy of Fix It Felix Jr doesn't work on the cdx. Congrats on getting yours up and running.

Andromeda Stardust Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Fix-It-Felix Jr works fine on my Model 1 Genesis, and also on my Super Retro Trio... Also I thought about getting a 32X but never bothered because the library is small, and also how fugly looking it is and the wierd situation with running the AV cabling to a Model 1.

douglie007 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 They had an adapter ad I my 32x for a cdx adapter, but they never made it because some tests they 32x was over heating the cdx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you're trying to say but I'm pretty sure it's incorrect. There is no overheat risk that I'm aware of, and I've certainly never encountered it.

douglie007 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 it was a safty warning sega packaged with the 32x I cant find it right now, put I wouldnt change messing up cdx, its not like they are cheap 5o gamble with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does anyways. See how that's a sticker? The manual makes mention of a CDX adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
