I'm pretty sure the polarity is wrong...

The 32x / Gen2 power supply is rated at 850mA, so it may be too underpowered to work reliably. According to the power supply info gathered here awhile back, the polarity is correct tho.
OK, so if it's just underpowered then the worst thing that can happen is that it just won't turn on, right? (i.e. I can't damage my console by trying it)
Thanks

It may or may not damage it. If it were mine, I wouldn't do it.

cant speak for us units but this is what i know of pal units.
pal Sega units have negative in the middle, this also applys to US snes if im not misstaken but PAL snes do have possitive in the middle.
never gotten my hands on us sega's due to the freight cost from us to sweden =(

I've used a 9V 400mA to power a Sega Mega Drive to test my Mega CD. The problem is that the adapter will probably over heat from the strain and burn out. I only used mine for about 5 minutes so it was okay.
Other things to not are that the consoles performance will drop. You'll probably experience display problems and buzzing sound while using the adpater.

The Genesis & PAL Megadrive both have the same polarity. I'm pretty sure Jap Megadrives do aswell, but haven't got a unit to check handy.

Related question:
On a transformer that is of adequate power and frequency, could he cut the tip off and put an appropriate tip on for the console?

Yup.
