:opa: Contrary to popular belief, the 32X spacer for the CDX...
...is not needed. I don't know why Sega kept telling me that it is needed. :t:
My Mom and all of my aunts and uncles just told me last week that the 32X Spacer was needed for the CDX. Ah popular culture and its lies.

You know what else you don't need to play games? Feet, testicles, legs, hair, a nose, a tongue, fingernails, knee caps, a car, a family, a life, a taco....
when i first got a model 1 sega CD, i recall reading that if i didn't use that metal plate separator thing, my house would burn down or something
got another one in 2012, again hooked into a model 1 genny, but no metal this time...livin' on the edge
ALT ID! :ban:Quote:

those pcb's look rather sturdy and it woudl take a lot of force to actually snap one deliberatley let alone by accident
^That's what I'm thinking. I think the reason why people keep saying "BTW, you need that spacer, otherwise it won't fit in a Mega Drive 2/Genesis 2" are doing it just to pad the value of their complete ones up a bit more.Quote:

.... These newbies probably can't triforce either
I'm sure there are a lot of factors involved in the need for the spacer, but the top two are probably stability and aesthetics. It's also much easier to make one product and include a piece of plastic to make it fit snugger on different versions than making multiple hardware versions.
Sheath is Sega-16's resident Don Rickles. I can picture him pacing in front of Ninsega and Kitsune Night going off.Quote:

I was thinking more on Babylon 5 Season 3 Ep 5 "Voices of Authority", but I can't post a clip now because all of the online sources require payment. The quote I am thinking of:
Capt. John Sheridan: And, uh, when exactly did all this happen?
Julie Musante:When we rewrote the dictionary.
Back then this seemed like such a clearly bad idea, rewriting the dictionary. It was the end of the world if we even thought about it. Here I am trying to teach the kiddo at least two languages aside from our oddity that is American English knowing full well that everybody is going to change the meaning and spelling of those words by the time he learns them. It is fan-freaking tastic.
I bet he's Eddiespruce.Quote:

With the plate it seems to last a lot longer before needing to be reset like that.Quote:

I was playing Wonder Boy III, which utilizes the giant pause button as an equipment screen of sorts. Pressing that button without support moves the whole cartridge, which sometimes results in the black screen of death.

Isn't Vector's ban only temporary?
I hope it is, but i don't know. He got banned before, so i'm not sure how that will work out.Quote:
