The Sega Genesis 32X video game console is also know as the Mega 32X in Europe, and the Super 32X in Japan. It was an inexpensive upgrade for the Sega Genesis (also known as MegaDrive) that allowed it to play advanced 32-bit arcade games in 1994.

I heard that its spoused to only output mono instead of streao from the av ports from the back but i cant hear nither, there is no sound at all.
Title says it all, recapped it but one of the tiny screws of the two on the cart portion did a prison break and disappeared into my shop somewhere. Any idea what size those things are?
I think Neptune from Hyperdimension Neptunia represents the Sega 32X.
My full cib set of every Sega 32x game including cd 32x. Slightly obscured by lakitu
I have three different/separate authentic copies of Knuckles CHAOTIX for the 32X. Each one of them glitches on the start up screen, and once you’ve entered “training”, knuckles, or whatever character is supposed to be selected, is invisible. Very strange considering I have tried each of my 3 copies of this game on 3 different SEGA model 2 Genesis’. I have also tried the games on 2 different 32x attachments with and without the extended/clip/attachment things that come with the 32X attachment.
I am not only in need to figure out the solution but I am also genuinely curious as to what the problem may be?
Does anyone have any answers or has anyone else experienced such a phenomenon?
For refrence, I only have a budget of 40$. I only have Virtua Racing. Any other games I should pick up?
Hello I have problem with my 32X. I was playing it for months without many issues, but suddenly it stopped working.
When I use 32x games like Virtua Racing Deluxe (original cart), the Sega and Sega Sport logos both play, but there are loud crackling sounds, after that the music from the demo starts and than the game crash on black screen.
With Everdrive, if fail to load the BIOS, and if you get to load the everdrive bios, than it fail to load the game.
Genesis games doen't start as well, or if they start, they show corrupted graphics and some errors.
How can I solve it?
Thank you
I had an old Sega 32X and Genesis from back in the day. I lost some of cables for the 32X (AC Adapter, Patch cable) and haven't used in decades. Recently I got the Genesis cleaned up and was playing again.
I got some new cables to try to resurrect the 32X.
The connections all seem ok. I was able to play Genesis and a 32X game with the 32X attached. video out looked good. Sound from 32X game was incredibly muffled or inaudible with a lot of buzzing static sound. Couldn't hear any audio from the Genesis game.
Genesis: MK-1601
32X: MK84000
For output to the TV I was using this new HDMI adapter:
LevelHike HDMI Cable for Sega Genesis Model 1/2 / 3, Sega CD, Sega CDX, Sega 32X, Sega Nomad, Original Sega Master System Console (this thing has a switch for 4:3 or 16:9 output and I tried both with same audio issues).
The 32X Patch cable is one I got from Amazon sold by brand: ZEZEFUFU SEGA 32X To for SEGA Genesis 1
This HDMI works flawlessly including sound for me when I connect directly to the Genesis and play Genesis games.
I tried to remove some dust from the 32X cartridge slot and connectors at the base. Is there anything else that might be checked on the hardware side that might be messing up the audio?
I received a Sega 32x and opened it up to find one of the ribbon connectors has been damage beyond repair. Has anyone attempted to repair or replace the 20 pin connector? If so, please point me in the direction of a replacement part or fix, thank you.
Hi!
As the title says, it seems the 32x isn't spitting out the blue signal. I've included an image to showcase. The Genesis signal is flawless, and does every color fine, but the 32X looks like they took the branding motif just a little too far. Everything else is fine. Any idea what could be causing this? And any possible fixes?
Magical device, otherwise. 😅
So I got a sega 32X for Christmas, and the first time I use it it worked like a charm But now every time I use it the games have no video or audio, the genesis pass through games don’t have video or audio, and only sega CD has audio since I use the mixing ports, but no video I was using a 3rd party power supply so I’m afraid I fried it, but I’m hoping this points towards a different issue Any thoughts?
Needing some help on my 32X I just bought (untested) in my tower of power! I am pretty knowledgeable with electronic repair and have plenty of rework tools. Please forgive me as my "Tower-Con" power supply & 32X patch cable and 32X capacitor kit hopefully arrive tomorrow. As of this post i am using original sega power supplies for powering all 3 units.
Looking to troubleshoot this 32X. Ive checked the unit over, no leaky or swollen caps, disconnected & re-attached ribbon cables. I know the patch cable is required, but I figured it would not cause buzzing when the AV is hooked to the genesis if this thing is working correctly. I am going to redo my tests with tower-con and patch cable when they arrive.
Here are my results via hooking it up ATM.
Sega Genesis = Works perfect
Sega Genesis & Sega CD = Works Perfect
Sega Genesis, 32X, Sega CD - AV hooked to 32X = Genesis power LED, No signs of CD life, No Audio, No Video (Clearly since patch not connected)
Sega Genesis, 32X, Sega CD - AV hooked to Genesis = Genesis power LED, No signs of CD life, No Video, 60hz Buzzing through speakers
Sega Genesis & 32X - AV hooked to 32X = Genesis power LED, No Audio, No Video (Clearly since patch not connected)
Sega Genesis & 32X - AV hooked to Genesis = Genesis power LED, No Video, 60hz Buzzing through speakers
Hi all! Please give me a photo of the Doom 32X cartridge PCB from all sides
