Does anyone know if it is possible to get the 32x metal cartridge bay clips anywhere? I haven’t been able to find them for the last couple of years and feel that it would be a lot more stable with them.

Expanding on my previous cheat code post from a couple of weeks ago...

• Display All Map Items: Press the Z button on your six button controller to bring up the map screen. Press START to pause the game. Press and hold A+B+C. While holding these three buttons down, press the up arrow.
• Detailed Maps: (walls/windows/stairs/structures, etc): Press the Z button on your six button controller to bring up the map screen. Press START to pause the game. Press and hold X+Y+Z. While holding these three buttons down, press the up arrow.

Six button controller required:

Invincibility:  Pause the game. Hold down X, Y and Z. While holding all three buttons down, press the Up arrow. You may have to press the Up arrow twice. When the cheat is activated, you'll hear a sound, and the eyes on face of the character (bottom, center of status bar) will turn yellow. To disable the mod, simply repeat it.  

All weapons, all keys, full health, and full armor:  Pause the game. Hold down A, B and C. While holding down all three buttons, press the Up arrow (again, you may have to press the Up arrow twice?). You'll hear a sound, and the ammo will go to 500, health and armor will go to 200, and all the keys (red, blue and yellow) will show up. 

I've now had two copies of 36 Great Holes that do this on my 32x. If I load the same game via my Everdrive, this doesn't happen.

What can cause this to occur?

HistoricNerd just posted a most excellent video documentary, which describes the history of the 32X. It's about 40 minutes long, and professionally produced. My fellow 32X worshipers will really enjoy this:

Just look at the ad for it bro

What do you guys think about knuckles chaotix its one of my favorite sonic games in my opinion

Is it worth trying to find one? I seem to find US/NTSC ones but not PAL.

I have a Master System, but the controller ports aren't working properly so I was looking into a cartridge-slot-based adapter as a cheap replacement. However, a lot of what I've found so far appears to state that most cartridge-based adapters (as well as the Power Base Converter) don't work with the 32X due to how the unit accesses the Genesis. Are there any SMS adapters known to work in a 32X without bricking my Tower of Power?

Even a picture of the page that has illustrations of what comes in the box.

Trying to buy CIB but sellers are a bit clueless.

I didn't see this mentioned on the subreddit yet... Doom Resurrection v3.2 was released on Oct. 8, 2024. Download link to the delta (patch) is available here:

My sonic 3& knuckles save data got erased, the game booted up extremely currapted, and after a shut down, it booted up again, with the save data erased , my 32x was attached as well as a sega CD 2 and a genesis model 1 High def., could the ,32x cause that to happen?

My Sega 32x is make a continuous high pitched noise is something wrong or is this normal ?

Sorry if this has already been asked. I own a japanese copy of knuckles' chaotix, and a pal megadrive (both model 2 and the model with the cd on the side). A friend gifted me a pal 32x console. Currently need to get cables for them first. Do I have any hope getting my japanese cartridges to work on pal consoles? I've modified my base megadrive to run in both ntsc and pal if that makes a difference? So it runs both pal and japanese cartridges. Just seeing some conflicting info online? Thanks guys 😊

I never owned a 32X but have thought about it a lot over the years. It has always seemed to me to be a console that was terribly mishandled by Sega. It was supposed to be Next Gen but seemed to mostly have games that were just slightly better versions of something that could be found on 16-bit systems. That makes me think the hardware was never fully taken advantage of.

For those of you who know a lot more about the tech than I do, how would it have gone if a developer had tried to make a game like Resident Evil, Tomb Raider or Metal Gear Solid for the system? (If storage is a concern, let's allow for the fact that the 32X could work with the Sega CD.)

In the right hands, was the 32X capable of pulling off games like that, even if the graphics had to be stripped down somewhat? If so, why do you think we never saw such games?

It's hard to think of many other games I enjoy playing as much as this one. Only 4 levels and a very even challenge. Amazing music, and of the time graphics. It's the controls that get me the most. It's so much fun to play, and such an enjoyable experience. My favorite 32x title next to Blackthorne

Could anyone help me figure out the polarity of the Tectoy Mega 32X power supply?Everywhere I look there is discrepant information.

I'm building a power supply and I can't go wrong.

Hello everyone! After years of loving retro games, I finally decided to create my first video review, and I chose Tempo for the Sega 32X.

The video covers Tempo's gameplay, audio/visual presentation, and its place in Sega’s 32X library. I tried to take a thoughtful approach, and I’d love to hear your feedback on both the video and the game itself!

Feel free to check out the video if you're interested, and let me know how I can improve for future content. Thanks so much for your time!
