Your Genesis setup

[DigitalSpace]

Tell us about your Genesis setup. What model console do you own? (if you own more than one, feel free to list them and note which one you use the most for gaming.) How many controllers do you have? Do you have a Sega CD, 32X (or both) hooked up alongside the Genesis? Do you use a CDX or JVC XEye?

Here's mine:

Model 2 console
2 first-party six-button controllers (not the Majesco ones)
1 first-party three-button controller
1 first-party six-button arcade stick

I don't own a Sega CD or 32X since I have very little interest in either system.

What about you?

[VACRMH]

CDX
2 Official 6 button controllers
Power Base Converter and 32X and packed away, but are used when needed.

Even though I never owned a 6 button controller when I owed my genny back in the day, I still prefer the 6 button controller.

I had originally used a first edition model 1 with a matching Model 1 Sega CD with a 6-button controller. I just think they look cooler stacked. Since the CD died, I used a couple different systems. Now my setup is a JVC X'Eye that I picked up last week. Now that the new release of Beggar Prince works with the X'Eye, I may have to order a copy.

Nomad is all I use. I have a Model 1 and 2 around and for sale, but I can't seem to get enough for them to even make it worth selling. I keep an original 3-button, 3-button w/ red lettering, and 6-button around just 'cause. I also have an aftermarket controller boxed with the original receipt that I keep for kicks as well. I don't collect for genny really, I just pick up games that I'll play (or are too cheap to pass up).

Genesis 2 and Nomad
2 official 6-button controllers (one with turbo! ooo)
1 Ascii Pad MD-6
Game Genie for playing Pulseman

all hooked up to a little bitty TV because I don't have AV cables for it.

Sold my Nomad and X'Eye systems earlier this year.


My Genesis consoles and Games are all going to eBay.

Genesis 1/w Sega CD model 1

all with first party controllers.

-Model 2 Genesis console with a 32X attached to it
-Another Model 2 Genesis console with a Model 2 Sega CD attached to it
-2 six-button controllers (one first party and one third party)
-2 first party three-button controllers
-2 third-party turbo controllers (three button): great for rapid fire action in 32X Space Harrier


Some observations I realized from doing this:

I could certainly use another six-button controller, IMO.

[fahlim003]

MegaDrive 2 (Model 2 NTSC-J unit)
-output via RF at the moment
-3 standard official 6 button controllers
-1 official turbo 6 button controller
-1 1-plug multi-tap
-MegaKey 2 for those pesky lockout games

(I have another Model 1 NTSC-U/C system boxed up somewhere that works too.)

[TurboGenesis]

I thought there might have been a thread like this before?

Anyway,
my current set ups are:

In the Game cellar:
JVC X'Eye hooked up with stereo composite cables
Controllers are official Sega 6 button controllers.

In my daughter bedroom:
Genesis 3 hooked up RF
Controller is official Sega 6 button controller

I've got a model 1 system with the Super Magic Drive hooked up. Packed away I've got my model 2 system with the model 2 cd drive, 32x and all my games.

[Push Upstairs]

I have an X'Eye and a Nomad. A Genesis 2 somewhere (probably parents house) and two more Genesis 1 systems mothballed for future use.

My main setup is a region modded Genesis 1 with a Sega CD 2 attached.

I either use Sega controllers or Asciiware controllers. Both are great.

[ecresto]

i got a genesis 1 , 2 , 3 , sega cd model 2 , 32x connected to the genesis 1 , and a nomad . my fav games i play are contra hard corps , toe jam & earl , and earthworm jim . need gunstar heroes though ...

[Cinder6]

Two model 1s. One has a frontloading Sega CD, the other has a (broken) toploader. The one with the broken SCD doesn't get played, because its power switch sticks in the "On" position, and requires great feats of wiggling to get it turned off. Annoying.

I have two first-party 3-button controllers, and one first-party 6-button controller. One of these days, I want to get the Sega CD Memory Cart (I consider that an accessory), and possibly a Power Base Converter, so I wouldn't need to have a Master System connected all the time.

[retroman]

Gen1 and 2. 32x, Sega Cd 1 and 2. and a Nomad. and a Power Base Converter which i dont use because of the 32x.. Thats why i have a regular Master system hooked up.

JVC X'Eye with USA/JPN region modification to the cartridge slot. (I wrote the tutorial)

Pair of Performance Super Pad 6-Button control pads, my favorite Genesis controllers which I discovered completely by surprise - wonderful response and a super comfortable directional pad.

Capcom Fighter Power Stick GS, nice little joystick I paid a quarter for - from the guy I would later buy my Pole Position arcade cabinet from years later.

Power Base Converter modified to work with the JVC X'Eye (case mod).

Multi Game Hunter backup device, this is a ROM copier that uses a floppy drive, works with both the Genesis and Super Nintendo. While the amount of SNES games that run on it is limited, it has run absolutely everything for the Genesis I've thrown through it.
