    Default What model Genesis/Mega Drive do you own??

    Just thought I would check and see how gamers like us are hooked up with our Sega Genesis systems. Let me know what model you have(1,2,3,CDX,X-Eye) or whatever.
    Also, let me know the video connection used(Composite, S-Video,Component,RGB). I personally have the X-Eye, using a SCART cable and a RGB-YUV transcoder to get component video on my American TV.
    Thanks.

    SEGA GENESIS CDX Multimedia CD-ROM entertainment system.
    Composite video and stereo sound.
    I like to play games using the headphone jack (there is a headphone jack and line out).
    But I need to get a new power supply.

    I also own a Asian Mega Drive model 2 (transcodified) with regional switch ...

    I own quite a few of them, for testing purposes...

    For leisure time, I'm most comfortable using a Genesis 2 + 32X and / or an X'Eye. I'm not particular about the video hookup, and am, in fact, simply running standard A/V into the back of a Commodore 1080 monitor.

    The original model, without the TMSS BIOS, is clearly the preferred unit, as most people will say, but I keep the Genesis 2 out and going the majority of the time because, for one reason, its power and video plugs are interchangable with most of the other units.

    Model 2 NTSC-J MegaDrive through RF/Coaxial. I also have a NTSC-U/C late Model 1 that was used with RF too. I really should switch to A/V composite.

    Model I piggybacked on a Model I CD drive (Power Base converter optional) sitting next to a Model II with 32X, both units using composite A/V. And I also have a Nomad for Genesis-A-Go-Go.

    Early model 1 (without TMSS) and SCART-cable. IMO the best there is.

    Original Model 1 (no security chip probs) that's been modded with composite and S-Video. For my Sega CD enjoyment I have a Model 2 unit. I just have to remember to NOT hook up the S-Video for FMV games. Makes 'em look like more ass than they are .

    I own a brand new Model 2 (never been out of the box......literally). I use any ol' Model 1 that works as a play console, using an RF.
