YAVGT: What cables did you need to hook up a 32x to a Genesis?

[CrackRabbit]

So I picked up a 32x and some games for it at goodwill the other day looks to be in great shape, but I think I think I am missing some cables to hook it up.
Anyone actualy still have one of these and can tell me what I am missing?

I thought you didn't need a cable. The 32X should plug right into the cartridge slot.

you dont need any cables to hook up a 32x to a Genesis.

32X plugged right into the cartridge slot, yo.

I thought it just plugs into the existing console's cartridge slot. It's been too long for me to remember for sure.

Ok, hmm.
It has AV in and out jacks on the back of it. Thought I was missing a cable that went from the Genesis to it...

I think the AV outs supersede the outputs on the back of the Genesis when you have a 32X connected.

w00t got it working! Thanks, feel like an idiot now.

I remember just sliding it where the cartridge slot is. What a piece of crap btw. I think I spent $250 on it. What a waste.

I must have slaved about 70 hours at Burger King just to buy that crap and it gave me zero enjoyment

ok its not quite working, I tried playing Doom, and the health bar at the bottom of the screen is there, but nothing else.
Similar thing with star wars, i get the outline of the x-wing but no tie fighters on the screen.

I think I saw them at TRU for $30 brand-new about 8 years ago. Thought about getting one to go with my Sega CD, but couldn't find any games that I thought would be worth it. I do remember a few games that required the Sega CD and the 32X that were fairly impressive graphically for the time.

That's the only one I ever used! Mind you, most of my systems were imports, so my "NES" is beige and red

Sega CD and 32x, what total pieces of crap. Anyone remember that piece of crap Sewer game that came with the Sega CD?

Yes, I still have mine here hooked up. There is actually one bus cable running from the 32X to the Genesis. If you run without it, it'll work *kind of*, but some elements of the games won't show up and most will be unplayable.

**EDIT: Heh,see you found this out already Reading the whole thread FTW.

HEHE I remember the 32x, i had one way back in 1995....it was the first console I ever played Doom on.

It inspired me to upgrade my PC so i would never have to play another FPS on a console.
