Super Grafx with Super CD-ROM2 attachment help needed

Post by Inazuma »

I just got a Super CD-ROM2 unit to attach to my Supergrafx but the little power cable that connects the 2 consoles does not fit into the Supergrafx. It does fit into a Core Grafx 2 unit and works fine however.

Is there a special cable I need to connect the Supergrafx and Super CD-ROM2 together?


In this Youtube video, you can see them working successfully. Notice the little power cable that connects them together? That looks a little different from mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This again?

The Super Grafx needs its OWN power supply. Like the Genesis/Sega CD, you need two AC adapters (whereas a Super CD/PCE combo only needs one). What you see in the video is a modification.

The the AC adapter that you (should have) got with your Super Grafx.

Thanks so much! I do have the power adapter for the SuperGrafx so I'll try that out right now and report back. (^_^)b
