Has any1 been able to combine Genesis & 32x in 1?

[Break]

Has anyone modded a 32x into a Genesis and combined it into one big uber console,similar to the never released Neptune?Is it even possible (I would imagine a tight fit)?

Nah, not really possible. The 32X is too large, you would have to have a custom case to do it.  There's not a lot of motivation out there either since most people aren't huge fans of the 32X.  I love the system but even I wouldn't invest my energy in a Genny/32X hybrid

I was able to squeeze one in a Genesis model 2 case, however it wasnt easy.

You have to solder ~64 wires from the edge connector of the 32x to the Genesis' cart connector.

I've done it, but it's not worth the trouble.

i think i "might" do this to my model 1...  I got the time, and patience for it..

only problem, i'd need two power bricks still, wouldn't I?   (unless I can get a very high amperage supply and internally split it..)

What about gutting a model 1 and adding the board from a model 2 into it,and freeing up some space,unless the controller ports and cart slot don't line up right.

[blackevilweredragon]

they wouldn't line up, but that doesn't stop one from "relocating"..

but who would want too?  the model 1 motherboard was far better than the model 2 board..

I had a project where I did this in a 2600 case - but I could never get the thing to work 100%.

It is currently in a box in my basement - I didn't have a multimeter at the time so I got really frustrated testing my solder connections repeatedly...

Maybe I can dig this out soon and have another go at it...

Don't leave Kepone!

That sounds kinda kool.You'd have to widen the cart slot,right?And add a place for the Sega CD expansion.Maybe put a Sega cd in a 7800 case

sweeet.  I wish there were pics of the inside  I wonder if he used a non-genny 2 mobo.  The work to do that must be SUCH a pain..I can't imagine anyone loving 32X THAT much (and I love 32x!)

That is a seriously sweet mod.  And actually, rest of his site has some great mods to other classic console systems.   It's all in Korean, though... (and fortunately enough for me, I can read it!)

야~ 이런 멋진 개조도 가능하구나...
덕분에 정말 오랫만에 재밌는 사이트를 봤습니다.

I'd ask for a translation, but it doesn't appear there's anything in the way of a walkthrough of the work. I love the 32X enough to do it, just too much of a dufus to manage it. Looks real sweet.

[blackevilweredragon]

yea, this is a mod i'd love to do too...  To a Genesis 1..  makes putting a cartridge in easier without the extra height...

[Breakpack]

Good grief I'm in heaven!I'd LOVE a mod for my 32x Genesis combo!That is awesome!!!!!! :wub:

In an MD2 case? I highly doubt he used anything else. The board would be almost twice as wide with an MD1 one. He could've used an MD3 one, but I don't believe Korea ever got those. There are MD ASICs like those used in the handheld 'TV game' MD systems from Radica, and some odd Official Bootlegs by Tectoy/Majesco in Brazil-- they could be likely wired up to the 32X and all the video overlay connections made properly in a very small amount of space. The PCB for an MD-on-a-Chip is pretty much the size of a controller. Quite versatile.
