The Sega Neptune!!!!

[evildragon]

I've decided to be different than you guys, and do this to a model 1 Genesis...

Why a model 1? In the long run, you wouldn't be able to fit it into a custom made neptune case.

[evildragon]

Because I don't want it in a custom made case..

I want to keep the retro feel of the Genesis 1 system, but have the secret ability to play 32X games.

[Nitrosport]

Ah, I see. Keep us updated on it.

Goodluck with the Mod! I hope I took enough pictures to figure out what I did.

Oh and thanks everyone for there comments!

I know the Genesis, CD, and 32X so well, I wouldn't need a guide. (Been disecting these consoles and most revs for years.. got my own book of info written down)

Actually, if you need any help, let me know. I'm familiar with all revisions of the model 1 Genesis, and all models of Sega CD. Model 2 Genesis' i only know 2 revs..

Oh yes I forgot. You can use 1 power supply but it has to be rated at 10V @ 2amps. When you connect the power to the 32X make sure to use 18AWG wire. The 32x is a little power hungry and we don't want your neptune melting now do we?

Also when you solder the wires to the 32x make sure they are as short and straight as possible. Any extra length and twists WILL scramble and weaken the signals and will prevent the 32X from kicking over. I first used ribbon cable but that was way to thin to support the signal so I had to redo the entire thing in 20AWG. If there was room I would use 18AWG for the connection.

edit// No I can't make neptune cases. I don't have access to a vacuum forming machine. I wish I did though.

I've got a general idea. You did a nice job on yours. Can you make custom neptune cases?
