How do you Genesize?

**Keir** · 03-12-2003, 01:06 PM

That is, what hardware do you primarily use for playing Genesis cartridges?
For me, nothing beats the Laseractive!

I use the Genny 2 mainly. I have it set up in the corner of my room on an old Apple monitor. No sound (been to lazy to buy them), but the price was right! *wink*

On my main setup, I have a Genesis 1 - Sidemount Sega CD - Power Base Converter combo. However, a connection slipped loose and now I get no picture. I don't want to get eaten by the rat's nest down there, so it stays off.

I'd love a CDX, because I can then have Sega CD capability on my monitor, with less room than the Genesis 2 takes now. Maybe at PC4...

CDX, as it's the only one I have room for in my entertainment center!

**Bratwurst** · 03-12-2003, 01:53 PM

Genesis 1 by itself, for regular Genesis carts and the Power Base Converter. There's a side console set up of a Genesis 2 with the 32X and a planned Sega CD when it comes in for the other games.

Mostly on Laseractive these days, but I have done lots of Genesizing on my X'Eye and on the Genesis I. Recenly I've been using an emulator (GENS) as well, really nice with the HotRod stick.

**Keir** · 03-12-2003, 02:22 PM

Doh! I knew I was forgetting something. I just added 2 more options for X'Eye and emulators. Gotta love these new polls with unlimited options! Not that anyone's going to vote for TeraDrive...

CDX for me- small and east to store and takes up little room. plus it has the Sega CD unit with it!

**Tempest** · 03-12-2003, 02:36 PM

Genesis 1 with a Sega CD (version 2) and 32X. I likes 'em big and bluky!

I have three 2's.I would like a 3 but I can never find one!

**DDCecil** · 03-12-2003, 03:47 PM

A Genesis 2 with a Model 2 Sega CD system (It would also have a 32X on it, but I can't find mine.).

**Gunstarhero** · 03-12-2003, 04:18 PM

Genesis 1, because I have a few Master System games I like to play with the Power Base Convertor, since I don't have an actual SMS. I think the Genesis 1 looks the best and the toughest anyway, plus it has that cool volume control for the headphones.

**Arqueologia_Digital** · 03-12-2003, 05:32 PM

Genesis 2

**anagrama** · 03-12-2003, 06:39 PM

Currently on a Genesis 1 primarily, but that'll be shelved in favour of a Megadrive 2/MegaCD 2/32X combo once I get one of my Megadrive 2's double-switched.

**jaydubnb** · 03-12-2003, 06:49 PM

The Genny 3...because its soooooooo sexxxy!

**Bratwurst** · 03-12-2003, 07:05 PM

What? They're all black, they're all sexy.

I just like that idealistic appearance of a Genesis 2 with 32X and Sega CD mkII that Sega Visions used to splash all over in their pages.

**CrazyImpmon** · 03-12-2003, 07:57 PM

I generally prefer Genny 2 as it's smaller than 1 and "fits" better with Sega CD2 (don't have CD 1) and works with 32x. Genny 3 wouldn't work with Sega CD or 32X anyway :P And I have separate SMS console so I don't need to use the PBC

I'd rather go for the Neptune unit and do away with 6 or 7 cabes you need to use to hook up Genny/CD/32x setup.

You need to add another

I use my Mega Jet more than anything else

Hiya Monday!

**molnars** · 03-13-2003, 07:27 AM

I only use my Laseractive since I don't have anything else to play Genesis games on.

**Bratwurst** · 03-13-2003, 02:31 PM

I'm as pleased as can be today- I got my first Genesis 1 working, the one without the bios and territory lockout! Turns out all it took was a thorough cleaning of the contact connector.

**hamburgler** · 03-13-2003, 06:53 PM

I mostly use Genisis model 1 and 3

**Neonsolid** · 09-24-2004, 04:08 AM

Gone.

**Brian_Provinciano** · 09-24-2004, 06:07 AM

I've got the Gennys 1-3, but always use the Genesis 2. It's small, but not too small, so it's still durable. The Genesis 3 is nice and small, but it doesn't work with the Sega CD, and isn't as heavy duty as the Genesis 1-2. Plus, I've got more Genesis 1-2 than I know what to do with, so if anything happened to it, I'd just grab a new one from the garage, heh. Gennys are so cheap, I buy them when I see them for $1 (and I do), and can use them for electronics parts, heh.

**Nez** · 09-24-2004, 06:12 AM

I manly use my model 2 genesis for most things, Genisis, 32x, cd.

And ocasionally ill use my model 1 for its PBC. No Nomad for me thouigh cant afford it. Id use it all the time if I did.
