How many different Genesises/Megadrives do you own?

So after realizing that the Genesis II is poop, I'm going to take the plunge, and buy a "HD graphics" one dirt cheap off eBay. I currently have a SegaCD II, and I think it looks pretty silly paired with a Genesis I, so I think I'm going to pack the SegaCD and Genesis II in my closet somewhere, and pair the new (old?) Gen I with my 32x.

So how many different flavors of Sega's system do you own?

What?! There are some really good Genesis 2 models out there, especially the later models. I have a '96 mainboard and the audio is very close to the early model 1s. You probably couldn't tell the difference unless you were doing an A to B comparison. The later model 2s are easier to mod (for S-video) than the model 1s.

I own all three models. I've only modded my Genesis 2 since it was easy. It has the Sony 1645 chroma encoder which means you just need a pair of caps and resistors to get S-video. If you have the CXA 1145, the circuitry is a bit more involved.

I don't know if it was you or not, but someone on the forums had stated that they had a '93 model 2, and a '96 model 2, and the '93 model had terrible sound compared to the '96 one.

Go figure, mine is one of these '93 models.

Yep, that was me. I sold the '93 model on eBay. It distorted everything - even from the TV.

Cripes, I can't even breathe in here without tripping over a Genesis.

I'm cutting the vocals out of a Chicago song upon the request of a buddy. "How are you doing that?", he asks. "Why with the JVC X'Eye", I reply, "Which also plays Genesis games." He's over here again, to watch a rare Chicago performance only published on Laserdisc. "That's a pretty neat Laserdisc player, even if it's so big", he says. "Yep! I can also play Sonic on it.", comes my responce. Need I go on? No.

Hell - Even in my dreams I can't get any peace, for I dream in 16-bit.

I have a MD2, early one, modded, sounds better than enything else, and 2x no TMSS MD1s, both last of the no-TMSS kind.

I have my main Genesis which I bought at launch back in 1989. I have played probably over 600 games on this unit and it has seen a lot of use. This will always be my main unit to play games on. I have two spare Genesis 1's. One is region-modded to Japan so I can see the crazy "Super 32X" logo on a few 32X games. You haven't lived until you've seen that. Wow. Just wow. This Genesis has TMSS but still has the good audio. The the other spare Genesis does not have TMSS so therefore it makes me feel more 1337, like I am better than other people or something.

I have one non-TMSS MD1 which I got back in 1994 or something. It is regionmodded. I also have a Nomad that was region/OC-modded by TmEE, in exchange for two broken MD1s.

X'Eye, Nomad, three Genesis 1's and a Model 2 packed up at my parents place.

One of those Genesis 1's is the original model I got way back in 1992,

I have a model 2, which is the one I've had the longest. It's actually the second Genesis I ever owned, which I got by trading my original late model 1 for it (a friend liked the old look better, I liked the new look better). It's connected to my Sega CD 2 & 32X. This is the setup I've had the longest.

I have a Nomad that I got from Electronics Boutique when they were on clearance for $50. It never gets used because the cart connector is loose and if you shake it the wrong way, the game resets.

I have two model 1s. One is a bare board (I sacced the shell to make a nifty looking supergun), the other is on one of my Sega CD 1s. I actually do use the bare mainboard one at work, in the break room. I haven't bothered to determine exactly what revisions these are other than they both have TMSS. I use the Genesis1+SegaCD1 the most because I don't have to fool with the third AC adapter.

Aside from those, I have a pile of Sega CDs that are either repaired or waiting to be repaired (or junked). One original and a couple of 2s.

Let's see... I have a Model 1, two model 2s, a Nomad, both models of Sega CD, three 32x's, and an X'Eye, which I use as my main player. I used to have a CDX as well, but I sold it last year so I could buy a Neo Geo MVS setup.

My main Genesis is the early model 1 with no TMSS. I also have a later model 1 lying around. Beyond that, I have a CDX, X'Eye, and Nomad. Fuck model 2 and 3.

Was there an MDII released that ran off a different power adapter to a regular MDII? I came across a broken one in my spares that had a different power socket to all my other MDII's, even though the motherboard is the same model no. Any help on this would be much appreciated, i thought they all ran off the same PSU until i saw this one.

To answer the question, i tend to use a Model 1, mainly for it's looks over anything technical. I do own a lot of MDi & II's mainly because i collect different box variations. I'm looking for a CLD A-100 ATM, i played my mates and the sound was awesome. As soon as i find one that will replace my main set up downstairs.

Only one so far, a Mega Drive I. But I plan on getting a MDII, a japanese unit and maybe a Nomad sometime in the future.

1x Megadrive
2x Megadrive II
1x Mega CD II
1x Multi-Mega
1x Mega Jet
1x Nomad

Bloody hell. That's a fair whack considering.

Two so far:
- a Japanese Model 1
- a Model 1 Genesis with the "HD graphics" label.

just two "High Def" models 1s. I gave my Model 3 to one of my fellow starving college students when his model 2 died.

Right now a model one-hd set with 32x an cd model one attached that i keep downstars mainy for 32x games. Another genesis model one-hd hooked up to the tv in the living room that usually has a power base converter on top. A pioneer laseractive with all acessories an packs in my room that i use for most of my genesis an cd games. A sega nomad i like to take in to work with me. Uuum, i wanna think im forgetting something but i can't seem to remember anything today. hmmn

Three overall. I have a model 1 with a Sega CD 2 and 32X. I also own a Nomad and a CDX.

I have a model 2, nomad, 32X, and about 55-60 games, picking up two or three every time i go to game hits. I found Air Diver, Crossfire and Lotus II there all for under 10 bucks. I only bought them because theyre rare. Lotus II is a good game though. I have like 10 controllers (4 three buttons, 3 six buttons and 3 off brand 3 and 6 button ones that are in my "pile of wires" behind my TV).

my original model 1 genesis from 1989
2 - model 2's - no idea what years
1 CDX
1 Nomad
1 X'eye
1 - sega cd1
2 - sega cd2

- "HD" model 1 genesis with Sega CD model 1 with 32x [This is my everyday system]
- Model 2 genesis with model 2 Sega CD and 32x [My original genny from way back when, I got the 32x and Sega CD for cheap because they were untested]
- Shitty model 1 genesis [I keep this in my truck just in case]

a model 2 wich is dead.This was my first one I bought.

Model 1 with 50/60 Jap/Eng switches (my main console)

Model 1 no license screen and excellent condition, almost new. Box

I've got a model 2 genesis with 4 controllers, 2 six button, one 3, and one 3 button with turbo buttons.

I have a Model 2 which sounds fine if I recall correctly... A late model Genesis 1 that has TMSS, but sounds great as well.

I also have a Model 1 and Model 2 Sega CD to supplement each system as well. Oh yeah, and a 32X as well. :D

I have an original Genesis with no HD label that I had new. Works great but doesnt like my SCD1. so I recently picked up 2 Genesis 2's(one busted) and 2 SCD2, and a 32x. I have bidded for a junky HD labed Genesis on ebay hope to get it soon to swap the board in my other genesis 1. I am not a fan of the white letters going across the sleek black trim.

One! Just got my first on Saturday! It's a mint-condition model 2, and I love it! I've wanted one since kindergarten (15 years ago), and my dream has now been fulfilled :)

Nice! Do you have any games for it yet?

Yup! The store threw in Sonic 1 (not for resale edition), which will tide me over until the copy of Warsong that I won on eBay arrives! After that, I'm angling for Phantasy Star II-IV, Shining Force I-II, and if I can find a copy, Ys III--which seems to be a bit scarce...there's a brand new copy sitting on an eBay store, but paying over 100 bucks for it isn't in the cards right now...

I have:

my original model 1 genesis I have owned 1991, hooked up with a 32x and model 1 sega cd.

sega cd model 2 that I have owned since 1996.

extra model 1 genesis system only with no cables.

jp megadrive model 1 set up with a model 1 mega cd.

and my recent genesis model 1 modified with jp/us switch, 50-60 hz switch, s-video mod.

hd model 1, and 2 model 2's. i just picked up 10 sega cd games so i guess i'm going to have to start looking for a sega cd, and i'm sure a 32x isn't far off either.
