Anyone know of or got a list of which Genesis carts don't work on a Sega CDX unit and why?

I'm under the impression that any sega carts that don't work in the genesis 2 do not function in the CDX.
On the CD side, I recall that it doesn't run Mansion of Hidden Souls and crashes if you get a game over in Bari-Arm (aka Android Assault).

What are the carts that don't work on the Genesis 2 then? I figured we get a list going here at DP Land it could help others with this issue.

If I remember correctly, Virtua Racing wouldn't work on my Genesis 3. I might be getting that mixed up with the Nomad, though.
My CDX should be arriving any day now, will investigate when it arrives.

Virtua Racing does work in a CDX. I can vouch for that myself, since foodle's got a cdx and VR, and it runs fine.

I must have been thinking of the Nomad then. I just got my CDX in the mail today (thanks autobotracing!). So far I've tried 3 games but only 1 (Alien 3) has worked. VR didn't work, but I haven't used my Genny carts in a while and they're probably in need of a good scrubbin'.

Yeah, this topic was discussed before (I'm too lazy to go back and find the other discussion:) but I remember the end of the past discussion basically came down to us saying that the CDX was compatible with all Genesis carts (that are licensed I assume) now as far as Sega CD games hmmmm, and i havent played all of mine on the CDX yet so I could not vouch for all of them but so far so good, I'll have to try Android Assault though :roll:

Why wouldn't some Genesis carts (licenced) work on the CDX on the Gen 2?
Got Vectorman working, still no dice on DecapAttack.

Here's a question...what about games working on the Nomad? I've gotten some stuff to work on it but some stuff doesn't (different regions, though; I don't have that much Genesis/Mega Drive stuff).

Decap Attack works fine on my friends cdx. Yours is probably a bad copy maybe?
As for cds, I think its a given that the 32x/cd games won't work, since its impossible to access the cd part with a 32x attached, and from what I understand, with the 32x on it, it won't read the cds anyhow.

For the record, all three Realtec games run just fine in my Gen 2. I can't speak for the model 3, though.
