Weird Genesis cable

2600Lives · August 13, 2014

So, I have a cable that seems like it's for the Sega Genesis. It has an 8 pin DIN connector on one end, and a 9 pin female connector on the other. It's around 5 or so inches long. On the side is written E148000 LTK Style 2835. No other markings are visible. It seems like it might be a converter cable so you can use the Genesis Model 2 AV connector with the Model 1, but I'm not sure honestly WHAT the heck it is. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like the cable that goes from a model 1, to the 32x cable, to the 32x. This one? But after looking at that link, it seems there are now more types of these than there originally were.

It doesn't quite look like that one, Rex. The DIN connector is the same, but the other end is a female connector.

It sounds like the adapter that shipped with the 32X for use with the model 1 Sega Genesis. It's for connecting the Genesis and 32X together, as the cable it comes with is for a model 2 system and the adapter is needed when using a model 1 console. Those adapters are getting fairly rare, as many people seem to have lost them over the years.

Does it look like the middle cable for step #3? http://www.gametrog.com/GAMETROG/HOW_to_connect_Hook_Up_SEGA_32X_to_SEGA_Genesis_Model_1_Page_two.html
