Alright so I recently dug out my Genny model 1 and a few games. It's been awhile since I used it so my "issue" may not even be an issue at all. Anyway, for most of the games when I put them in and turn them on they fire up right away. However for others they just kinda hang there before the Sega logo shows up. One of them hangs there for a good 3-4 seconds. I don't remember them doing that when did have it out. Is this normal for some games?
Also, it takes quite a bit of force to get the carts in and out of the system. I have owned a model 2 Genesis and it wasn't anywhere near as tough to get them in and out as it is with my model 1. Does that differ on model? Anyway thanks for the help on my noob questions :P
