This fuse is so pointless and temperamental.

I just hardwire the system and leave the fuse out. I have 3 model 2's with this "mod"

You mean you just bridge the connection?

yeah. I originally was going to write bridge, but I though more people would follow 'hardwired'.

Personally I recommend putting in a new fuse. It may be more hassle, but your Sega CD will be saved if you accidentally plug in the wrong power supply.
