Does a Nomad work w/a 16 bit adapter?

[MrsMegaManFan]

MMF just got his new Nomad in the mail today - but we need to know if it works with the regular adapter for the 16-bit Genesis. He's afraid of burning it out.

[chrisbid]

the nomad works with the AC adapter from the model 2 and 3 Genesis (the one with the yellow tip). It also works with the same AC adapter as a game gear if you have one of those handy

[Chickybaby]

Also you can use the rechargable battery pack for the game gear as well - it's clips on to your belt and plugs in to the game gear a/c adapter to re-charge.

I love my nomad but it is a major battery hog, so having a rechargable battery is great!

I would like to find a Nomad someday, along with a Sega CD and a 32X.

 

All I have now is a Genesis. Might end up selling it to pay bills and then buy another later on with hopefully 32x,SegaCD or Nomad included just to have a complete Hardware collection.

[MrsMegaManFan]

Thanks for the suggestions - the nomad works just fine with the GG adapter.

 

New question: He put in the game "Mega Man - The Wily Wars" and the screen flashed a warning (something about PAL, SECAM and the Mega Drive). He knew it was a European game, but thought it work on a Nomad. Any way to get around the warning screen?

[MegaManFan]

Yeah. I thought that the Nomad could play Mega Drive games. I guess not. Fooey.

[Brad2600]

Is there a such thing as a Nomad that does play Mega Drive games?

 

There must be a conversion kit out there somewhere. Have you tried looking for one yet? I can imagine that there must be a way to do this.

Well if you are going for complete why not just get a CDX and a 32X, takes up alot less space :wink:

[Brad2600]

I might look for that someday.

 

Right now, I'm not very interested in my Genesis as much as I am in the Atari stuff I got right now.

 

I really prefer 8 bit games over 16 bit games right now.

 

I still need to repair one of my NES systems. I got games lying around that have not been tested.

[z28in82]

if you need parts let me know I have two shoeboxes just kinda lying around in parts. Got the toploaders and just scrapped the shoeboxes

[MegaManFan]

I guess what I really need is a Mega Key, but every time I see one on eBay, it gets pulled.

[z28in82]

Well not that I spend much time on epay but I'll keep it on the look out list for ya :wink:

[Mendon]

I might be wrong but I don't believe that the 32X works with a CDX; at least that's what I've been told.

 

What I'm curious about is if the SMS converter works with the CDX. I saw one mint at a flea market over the weekend for $15 and almost bought it but decided against it as it might not work.

 

Anyone know?

The official answer to the best of my knowledge is NO, but I have heard stories as to how people got it to work by adding a spacer of some sort. Didn't pay it too much mind since I can't see droppin over $100 for a CDX, when I love my Genesis II with Side Cd and 32X set up. It just looks so mean and buff. Bigger than anyother system floatin around my house :wink:

The Nomad does play Mega Drive games, but not all of them. Don't know why! Most of mine play, but some of the better ones don't, depends on the publisher.

 

There is a site called gamesx, it tells you how to modify your nomad so it will play any game. Good luck.

 

Anyone try the 32x with the Nomad?

[jsoper]

My cdx works fine with my 32x and power base converter, the only problem is the setups are so ugly they hurt your eyes

[Cassidy Nolen]

I have my 32X in my CDX too. Works fine. It is really ugly, that is for sure.

 

I have also used my Master adapter in my CDX and it worked fine. Never tried to connect the Master into the 32X into the CDX. That could change the earth's rotation. Or at least make an eyesore

Using the master on the 32X in the CdX, that is something I'm curious about, HMMMMMMM ... (to be continued)

 

 

With this creation I could rule the world bwa ha hah

Eeek. After the amount of money I spent on this thing, the thought of opening it up to mod it just scares me. I'd hate to have a working Nomad and kill it just for the purpose of playing Wily Wars - I'm desperate to try it but not THAT desperate!

[z28in82]

I'm desperate to try it but not THAT desperate!

 

Not yet at least :wink:

MMF: Lik Sang has an adapter that *should* work in the nomad

 

http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...oducts_id=3033&

 

For $10, I might pick one up myself even though I don't have any megadrive games yet.

[z28in82]

Actually the link at the bottom of the page list game with a territory lock out that the product is no help for and MM : Wiley Wars is one of them

D'oh! Where's a good European Mega Key when you need one? :(

[chrisbid]

have you tried a game genie?

[MegaManFan]

have you tried a game genie?

 

A Game Genie in a Nomad? No. Not on Genesis either. Actually I was afraid that because it was programmable, it might mess up the battery backed save state, if it even allowed the game to work at all. That's why I was looking for a simple pass through device like a Mega Key. Plugging a Genie plus a cart into a Nomad would be hella unwieldy, but I +might+ try a Genie on Genesis if I was reasonably confidant it wouldn't f' up my Wily Wars. I know I seem mildly paranoid about this, but I spent $117 on it so I don't take too many chances.
