Sega Neptune Prototype achieved question

[ooXxXoo]

This weekend while I was high top in 4 coffee cups I decide to start working in a Sega Neptune prototype as seen before!...Finally after several hours,frustation,100 wires soldered into the board and another 10 cups of coffee it was achieved....It works flawless with all of my 21 or so 32X games and other Hard Sega Genesis titles like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat.Also,it only uses 1 power supply intead of two...After many hours that I've put into it I'm thinking on selling it,so my question is,what would be a good price for this baby?..

Thanks!

Now all you need to do is pimp it out with a clear NEPTUNE 32X logo and that will be one beautiful piece of collector's gold.

[ooXxXoo]

Yes,I have been looking for a nice 32X logo in my old(90's)video game magazines but haven't found one that has satisfied me!

[NEOFREAK9189]

nice

Call me impressed. If you want to sell it, I bet you could get good money for it. I bet some of the guys at ASSEMbler would spend a few pretty pennies for that and give it a good home.

[ooXxXoo]

32X Logo achieved.This is the final result,..Expect it pretty soon on the Bay for sale!

Glorious my friend, simply glorious. My hat is off to you. You will definitely get a good penny for that.

[thegardentool]

This makes me want to have a project. :( I get so bored sometimes on the weekends.

[ooXxXoo]

Thanks everybody for the nice comments...One thing is for sure,I won't be building another one in a good while...My wife gave me a hard time for spending a lot of hours on this instead of her.

[dsullo]

Please post up when you list it on ebay. that thing is freakin sweet!

[ooXxXoo]

Sure Thing!..most likely within tonight or tomorrow..just going to gather some games with it ...starting at only 99 cents so everybody can have access!

[thegardentool]

My wife gave me a hard time for spending a lot of hours on this instead of her.

How many hours did you spent acutally building and testing it?

[coinheaven]

why are women so needy?

[ooXxXoo]

It was built all day Saturday and tested all day Sunday....I played every 32X game(21) that I own for at least 25 minutes each without any glitches or problems and beated Street Fighter II and Street Fighter II the New challengers all the way twice with Ryu,Ken and Guile.Also tested with other Genesis titles like,The Genesis 6-Pak,Street of Rage,Mortal Kombat I,II,III,Sonic & Knuckles,Golden Axe and Sonic 2 and again making it to far levels without any problems,This thing has succesfully played everything that has been feeded into it....The only game that I'm aware of not to work is Virtua Racing,but this is normal with all 32X systems!....I hope not to change my mind about selling it!...

[thegardentool]

Hm it might be a project I should look into trying to do sometime as well then. My wife works 12-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday so I'm usually at home alone with nothing else to do.

:)

[ooXxXoo]

I think my wife just doesn't like the mess I've been making http://usera.imagecave.com/capcom2000/HPIM4474.JPG

[esquire]

Great job!! It is very inspiring as I've always wanted to make the 32X less complicated for hooking up all the connectors and adapters.

Now you need to make one that plays the unlicensed EA games (using the Genesis 1) or one that is region-free (using a built-in Super Mega-Key)

[Hwj_Chim]

Awesome mod! Can you still hook a sega cd up too it?

[NEOFREAK9189]

price I wanted

[Cryomancer]

Now if only someone could make the Laseractive have 32x support....

nice damn job

[ooXxXoo]

The last finishing touches before the final farewell.....more stable cartridge slot doors and A/V jacks connectors added tonight.

I hope it can find a very loving family who will take care of it.!

I'm not sure if it works good with the Sega CD,because I dont have one to tested with,but most likely it does,the connector is still there..

[Soviet Conscript]

why are women so needy?

thats easy, because thier all crazy


no S-video on that neptune?

[Logicdustbin]

thats easy, because thier all crazy


no S-video on that neptune?



I added s-video to the one I built :D

I gave up on the dust flaps though, they were really annoying me :P

[ooXxXoo]

Next time....I don't have any encoder converters laying around...But it can be done!

[ooXxXoo]

For those that have been asking,this prototype is now for auction at the Bay.Please go to "Everything Ebay" Forum to find the link,Thanks!

[rbudrick]

Damn. If you could fit all that and a Sega CD into a Gen 1 model Case (slot drive and all) it would be the greatest Sega System EVER.

Awesome job, man!

You call that a mess?

What did you make the logo out of and why did you use a 32X logo rather than making a Neptune one?

[Slate]

Sweet, Now there Is such a thing as a sega neptune! But how the heck did you fit it all in that case?

[MarioMania]

I just want to see how much will it get...

[ooXxXoo]

Thanks again guys!...It tooked alot of time and patience(something I'm not very good at)to get this accomplish+I was inspired by other people that have a great amount of knowledge....

[rpepper9]

I don't get it. What is a neptune? What you have made appears to be a system that plays Genesis and 32x games, correct? Didn't the 32x already do that? I guess I really don't get it.

Please be gentle in your explaination.

thanks

[Push Upstairs]

Neptune = A proposed system that was in essence a 32x & Genesis in one.

Just like what he made.

[rbudrick]

Yes, they are rumored to exist in quantities unknown. Sega was rumored to have made between 2 and 300 of them, depending who you ask. EGM even did an April Fool's joke about them, claiming they were for sale.

[Poofta!]

not to call you anything but... how about some pics of hte thing running?

[ooXxXoo]

Here you go...Runing 32X''Kunckles Chaotix","Kolibri"... and Genesis"Street Fighter II"

Very nice. Too bad you couldn't have gotten a real Neptune case though, that would have been the ultimate. Very nice job though as it is a very useful mod. I'd buy it if I had some more extra cash laying around!
