/vr/ - Retro Games

Okay, /vr/.

So I get this sega CD home and spend an hour finding the appropriate ISO of Snatcher and then figure out how to prepare and burn the disc. I go to turn on my Genesis model 1 with the CD attached and voila! Nothing.

Black screen, lights do not turn on the Sega CD. But I just tested it at the guy I bought it from's house. Start jiggering wires, Check if the AC adapter for the Sega CD is correct. bring up a 13 inch CRT tv from my basement to see if it's the component on my upstairs tv. Still nothing.

Then I get the idea, "hey, what if it's my genesis?".

Take the Genesis off of the Sega CD try 10 different games, none of which work, all black screen.

So it looks like my Genesis is actually the problem. The red light on it comes on but nothing comes but then the tv just flickers and goes black. This is my childhood genesis, the last time I used it was probably last year and it was fine.

Fuck... Who would have thought my Genesis would fail before the Sega CD?
