SimonTemplar Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 This is like finding a needle in a haystack but who knows.. I bought a Sega 32X CIB and it`s missing the electromagnetic plates. Does anyone here have a pair of them for sale ? I can`t get the 32X to work without them. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 electromagnetic plates That might be your problem. Try looking for RF shield instead. I only have one pair unfortunately (I have 3 or 4 32X) and my guess for it's scarity is because it's a major PITA to get it insialled properly, even more of a PITA to remove it. I guess some people just threw it out instead of trying to use it or even got rid of Genesis separately with the RF plates still installed.

AFAIK their purpose is to keep the 32X within FCC standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 It definitely works without them. I have 2 32x and both work without the RF shield on both the Gennny 1 and the Genny 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 yeap, far as I can tell those RF shield plates only serve two purposes..actually three. 1. FCC required them because of all the CPUs in such close proximity and hence generating noise interference. 2. To keep the 32x firmly seated inside the Genesis cart slot. Though this isn't really needed if you have the Model 1 or the collar to attach it to the model 2 properly and a good cart connector on your Genesis. 3. I have had some games for whatever reason lock up after some use of the 32x, but not lock up with the plates installed. Again, this could be part of the noise bit the FCC was worried about. I haven't installed the plates on my 32x this past time I connected it up, but I also didn't have my lock up problem either. So who knows...But the 32x will work for sure without those RF plates... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripled79 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm having some noise appear on screen and I'm wondering if the image would be better with the RF plates in the Genesis cartridge slot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
