Sega 32X / Genesis / Sega CD problem

Post by devotedgmr17 »

I just received this combo in the mail. Everything seems to work fine. Its a model 2 genesis. Basically my only problem is, when I play genesis or sega CD games when the 32X attachment is on, then for some reason the games have a weird blueish tint. When I play 32X games though, they look just fine. Then when I take out the 32X attachment and play genesis or sega CD games, they look fine too. Is it possible that the AV cable is faulty? Or is there something wrong with the 32X? Its a hassle to keep disconnecting it to play the other two.

check all your cables, also it was a rumor way back when that the 32x could mess up 16bit games...dont know how true it is, but there are always game rumors to some nature. Just for the heck of it clean all the connections sense of course your the next owner and see what happens.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

That happens to me too! It seems when I put in the 32X cable into the Genesis one way it's blue, and if I switch it around it works fine. Try that and if it's the same thing it should be fixed. I really have no logic to provide behind it though.

It definitely sounds like a problem with the cable. Switch the cable around, if that doesnt work get a new cable (good luck)!

Make sure you are using an official cable. Knock-off cables apparently have some trouble.
