Do they even have one that goes straight to the model 1? I don't think I've ever seen one. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Hmm I think it may be the opposite for clones. I haven't seen a clone cable that was an adapter.

I'd love a 32x to finish my collection of Sega hardware but they are so damned expensive.
I assume you're talking about a CIB one, because you can easily get a 32x for <$20

Edit: Woaah nevermind then. I never thought those things would go up in price like they have. I got mine for $20 bucks like 3 years ago. :lol:
Yeah they seem to go for £50-£100 depending on whether or not they have the cables/spacers or a box. Kind of a lot of money for not many games really.

I am pretty sure a complete 32X will have both cables for model 1 and 2. Anyone else able to verify?

After some searching and giving up, i checked amazon and someone has one CIB and said it comes with both cables.

Complete 32x has a model 1 adapter, no full cable. It requires the model 2 cable to even use. IMO dumb of them.

What I was trying to say is I believe third party replacements always connect 32x straight through to model 1, and that Sega didn't release this latter more user-friendly type of cable.

hi..i dont have a 32x (no do i really want one), but i saw this and thought that alot of people here might appreciated it.
Model 1 http://shop.gametrog.com/SEGA-32X-to-Ge ... CROSS1.htm
Model 2 http://shop.gametrog.com/SEGA-32X-to-Ge ... X-CAB2.htm

Seems like they are doing quite a useful service in supplying both of these infamously hard to find accessories.

Cool there it is. The type Sega should have bundled with 32x. But did not!

Well, as dumb as it seems for them to not have made the direct to model 1 cable, by doing it the way they did, you could buy a 32x and use it no matter what model you had, without having to go out and buy a different cable. Makes sense to me.
