it fails if it doesn't actually play games. Which I'm fairly sure it doesn't.

Not sure if it works or not, it came from some japanese site. I couldn't read what was going on, but thought it was super cool.  8)

With the Power Base converter on top, doesn't even work like that?

Hobo Xiphas

It doesn't work if I think the stack is what I think it is.

If that is a power base converter on top of the 32X, it won't work.

I think the best playable stack you can get is Original Sega CD + Original Genesis + 32X + Game Genie + Sonic & Knuckles + an EA Sports game.

I'm not sure if you can create an infinite size stack with multiple Game Genies, but I don't think you can.

Turbo D

It looks like a special japanese power base, because that ain't no sms cart on top  :-k

yeah, guess so.

Yup, thats a MarkIII cart, the japanese counterpart of the SMS. Actually, the whole system I bet is japanese, it even has karaoke w/ microphone on the side, and those I don't think were sold in US.

Wait...they made karaoke for Sega Megadrive?

Hobo Xiphas

I thought it was just for that JVC Wondermega thing

But knowing them wacky japanese it wouldn't surprise me to see one for the vanilla genesis too

Joe Redifer

Yup, the Mega CD model 1 had its own karaoke unit.  Ive never seen it outside of magazine photos.

Ceti Alpha

Haha!! That's just absurd.  :roll:

Jenga does what Genesis don't.  :P

There was a picture, which I could have sworn was taken during one of the PC Engine Maniax offline events (but I can't find the thing online anymore) which showed a really tall Mega Tower. I think it was MD1, MCD1, karaoke unit, Super 32X, and a bunch of carts like maybe it was PAR2, Game Genie, XBand, Honey Bee converter, Sonic and Knuckles and then Sonic 3. Whatever it was, it worked.

The real problem with the stack in this photo is the MKIII adapter.

Joe Redifer

If the Sonic & Knuckles cart is anywhere, it will take over.  You can't slap Tommy Lasorda Baseball on S&K and play Tommy Lasorda Baseball.

Hey! It's the prototype of the Genesis Torpedo!  :P
I guess blast processing was the unstable ingredient that made the Genesis device useless.  8)

lessee... xband, game genie, pink thing?, sonic & knuckles, blank something, genesis something, 32x? (looks too square.)

Turbo D

I don't know what the red thing is, but Knuckles should work.

The thing above Sonic & Knuckles is the Genesis cleaning cart which can clean the system connectors and cartridge connectors.  It has no electronic parts, so it really shouldn't be included.  I have no idea what the thing on top of that is, though.  Maybe some kind of modem or credit card thingy.

guyjin

OH! I think that's a Sega channel modem!

IMG

oh, and... WISE FWUM YOW GWAVE!  :twisted:

RegalSin

Don't do it Marty, the particle time flux capacitor blast  collider accelerator processing processor was never meant to have so many cartriges in it at once. Sacrafice a N64 instead. They are like feeder fishes.

Yeah, those karaoke units are hella expensive, but they look pretty awesome.  They just need the official Sega speakers coming off the headphone port and they'd be set :D

wow, last post in 2010. Seems like it was yesterday.

When I last spoke to TurboD, it was during a trade: he traded me his copy of Air Zonk for my copy of SpinPair.

I haven't heard from him since.

Hopefully he isn't ashamed of making such a bad trade ;)
