Twice the tower, twice the power!
The Power Base Converter only fits on my Model 1 Genesis, so the 32X stays on my Model 2. But you gotta love that disk tray on the model 1 Sega CD šŸ˜

@SuperSelena64 Bluetooth controller?
In the Model 2, yeah

@SuperSelena64 That’s what I meant šŸ˜€

What has your experience been with the bluetooth controller? I’m thinking of picking one up now that my ancient IR controllers are dead.

I'm pretty happy with it - it's a 6-button model and had L and R as well to support non-Genesis games if you want to plug it in to a PC instead.
However it lacks the Mode button real 6-button pads have to disable the 6-buttons back down to 3, which means sometimes it hits a compatibility snags with games that have issues with 6-button controllers. This, however, is very rare and has only happened to me once, and it was with homebrew - so it's pretty reliable! This one is from RetroBit.

@SuperSelena64 Thanks, eh? The only game I remember ā€œneedingā€ the Mode button was Golden Axe II, maybe certain revisions of Forgotten Worlds. I might yet pick one up.
@SuperSelena64 I really wish Sega could have made a master system converter that was a normal cartridge size so it could fit the model 2 mega drive. Sure there are after market ones but I wish did that themselves back at the time
@SuperSelena64 both mega CD systems look cool but I honestly prefer the model 2 mega CD with the model one mega drive since I like the looks of those versions the most

@SuperSelena64

Ooo, and Zero Tolerance as well!
Surprisingly good game, but also quite a janky challenge!

And, of course, you can link that game up for head-to-head play with multiple systems:

Attached: 1 video SUPER excited about this! Last night, using a homemade cable, I was able to network two Sega Genesis together! A system with no integrated networking capability, LAN'd just using controller port 2! 🤩 The game is Zero Tolerance, and I knew it could do this but never seen it! How cool is this?? #retrogaming #sega

@SuperSelena64 Now those are some beauties!

My setup never looked so elegant. It was a 32x crammed into the top of a JVC X'Eye. Lol. It worked but it was a pain to swap CDs.

@SuperSelena64 Don’t disagree about the model 1 tray, I think they both have a certain charm (I, also, have both versions).

If nothing else, model 2 easier to maintain/repair IMHO

@SuperSelena64 I was seeing something like this when I was a kid, and dream about having it. Cheers congrats to you mate!
