    even worse i have a 32x i bought from toysrus back in the day, i'm afraid to hook all these cords.....
    At Sega-16, we call the Model 1/SCD Model 2/32X setup "Super Battleship Formation".

    When you view that mass of black plastic, you'll know why.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    The nicer thing about using the Genesis 1 with your setup is that you will also be able to swap out the 32X for the Power Base converter and play SMS games at any time.

    The easiest way to do this with less hassle is to plug both the RF switch from the Genesis unit into the TV or VCR as well as the AV cords coming from the 32X. That way they both stay hooked to the TV and Sega Master System games can be played with a change to channel 3.

    The Sega Master system game sounds should still come out of the rear of the Sega CD if I remember right.

    Everyone knows that Unicron is the best! Sheeesh.

    I like the look of the X'Eye. Boy does it look a hell of a lot cleaner than all of the other setups. The only problem with the X'Eye of course is the green power switch, and the fact that if you have a 32X installed, you have to remove it to pop in a CD.

    Although, I think the X'Eye is the neatest looking of them all, I'd have to say that the Model 1 with the model 1 CD is just staggeringly beautiful.

    Anyone else think it's gay to bitch about the aesthetics of a Genesis model 1 with a Sega CD model 2? They work fine together. Both consoles have some excellent, wonderful, and unique games, enjoy them.

    Really, in the end of it all - I could care less about what a console looks like - because like mentioned, the games are what matters. But even still, I admire and take notice of consoles that are nice to look at, or just plain ugly.

Model 1 with "high definition graphics" written on the top, with no TMSS copy protection screen at the beginning, has been proven to have the best sound quality. And while a model 1 Sega CD is pretty good, and looks nice with a model 1 Genesis, the drive door can wear out over time. Sega CD 2 is a more reliable machine (though if your model 1 Sega CD works fine.. more power to you!)

    So there you go: Model 1 Genesis and Model 2 Sega CD. And unless you're modding for S-video or live in PAL land with RGB output, mount a 32X on top just for the better composite output quality.

    For the record, the sound quality of most Genesis 2's are garbage.. and the video quality is poor on all but the most rare iteration of Genesis 2.

    I love my model 1 Genesis/Model 2 Sega CD setup I completed just a few weeks ago.... but yeah I found the "extender" piece... not to mention the RF shielding plate which bolts under the Genesis.... I really like the look of the setup! And like I said, those in the know will tell you it's a quality setup where it counts: performance and AV quality.
    Usually but some games react badly if you use a ram cart through a 32x if a model 1 genesis is used (Lunar II) and a few versions of the CD model 2 choke on other games (the one with a 240 laser didn't work well with Lunar 1). This is one of few systems where people should get more than one version.

    In my case, I specifically wanted my model 1 Genesis to have a model 2 CD as its companion. For some reason, I like how obnoxiously large the "super battleship formation" is.
