Anybody remember the SEGA CD? Man, I have fond memories of that system. I can't use mine anymore cuz I don't know where I put it, but I would pop that sucker out in a heartbeat. I used to have an emulator that allowed me to play my old games through my computer, but I don't know what happened to it? Can anybody help me?

They're improved a minimal amount, really, it's still a Genesis, it just has a second CPU, and (vastly) more storage. I want one pretty bad as well, but I haven't been able to figure out why, other than to have it. :P

I can't be bothered owning the actual hardware. You can play most MegaCD games pretty well via emulation since it is, as you say, more or less just a Genesis. (Nicely, you can actually play the games off the original CD via emulation. I play my copy of Shining Force CD this way, despite not owning the hardware) The music is usually vastly improved though, since it's spooled off the CD.
As for good games, Final Fight and Robo Aleste are worth adding to the list above.
What IS interesting is you can whap a 32X on top of a MegaCD/SegaCD equipped Megadrive/Genesis, and get a 32XCD. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of software that took advantage of it, and certainly nothing good. Some of the FMV based games were released with slightly improved video footage, I think, and that's about your lot.

I have a Sega CD, but all my games are currently burned. That may change, because I'm going to a flea market this saturday. The gfx are pretty good for a genesis, but as luke said, it's just a genesis with an extra processor and more storage. The colors are still 64 onscreen at a time. Loading times are pretty short, though.

I have a Sega CD but it doesnt work. I attach it to my model 2 genesis via the card slot plug in both powers, run my rf switch to the tv, turn it on and nothing happens. I took it apart and besides a dead bug there was nothing out of place. It really ticked me off that for $20 it dint work.

Might be the connector on the expansion or the cd system. When I got mine, it wasn't taken care of very well. These systems are harder to get to work than an NES with an english muffin crammed in it. Once you get it to make contact correctly, though, it's well worth the effort. Don't let it come loose again.

I agree. I bought it off my cousin for $20. She hadnt touched it for probably 6 or 7 years, but i remember playing it with her so i assumed it still worked because it was in the same spot in her "play room". Anyway ill try and clean the connectors with some contact cleaner. Thanks CaptainEgo

I had the same problem with mine when I got it. it's a REALLY simple fix, if you know how to use a soldering iron. I'm having a hard time finding games for the thing though. I have a few legitimate copies, the best of which are likely Final Fight CD, and Demolition Man...

I do have a local pawn shop that's going to hold all the Sega CD and 32x stuff they get, and sell it to me at cost :) Of all the ones I've played on the actual hardware, I enjoyed the following the best (in no specific order) : Sonic CD Silpheed Final Fight CD Ecco the Dolphin (fantastic music) Snatcher (favourite SCD game so far) I'm looking for the real discs for: Sonic CD Silpheed Ecco 1 & 2 and Snatcher

After a quick Google I came up with THIS walkthrough. I was just wondering if these were the steps you followed to replace the fuse or if you went about it in another way. By the way I own the Willy Beamish CD, and the Gunfighters CD with case and instructions.

I own the model 1 Sega CD, so I had to find the junk myself, but that guide will work for you. You don't HAVE to replace the fuse, you can just bridge the two legs of it with something until you can get a replacement.
