I didn't know this. So buying a 32X can actually be worth it. Besides a few good games of course.
This is exactly why I started this thread. Now I have more interest in getting a 32X. Thanks!
The 32X has its own video out chips which are generally better than those found in most Genesis', it depends on your console's chipset as well as the output you use as to if you notice it or not and to what degree you notice the cleaner image.

If you have a Genesis that gives you the vertical rain bowing, this is fixed via a 32X.

Now if only I had a fix for the horizontal rainbowing from my Master System.

See if you can fit the Power Unit Converter into the 32x.

I'm pretty sure 32X is just plain incompatible with Master System.

Actually, as little as most of us in the US pay attention to it, RGB is mandatory for correct operation of 32X. Genesis/Megadrive models (say the expensive Wondermega 1 or Laseractive) lacking RGB output cannot use 32X.
Lum fan.

:lol:

Actually, I've tried that, but the 32X and the Power Base Converter are known to be incompatible. I was referring to rainbowing from my ACTUAL Master System console though.

As little attention as we pay to RGB, or to the 32X? They both pretty much get ignored. :?

There's probably some video mod for the Master System that would fix that. You might look here.
