I have one. It doesn't work so I play my much more ruggedly built and nearly as cool looking x'eye instead

The original model Mega CD model is too unreliable to justify its price.

Why is it unreliable? Just the tray or am I missing something?

>> No.3715614

I bought one out of the trunk of some guys car for $30 ten+ years ago. It works but makes a grindy noise when the disc seeks. I don't really use it since I have no games.

I read that it uses under powered caps or something so the laser doesn't get the right voltage giving lots of read errors. That and the drive belt fails.

There are a bunch on eBay for $275ish but every once in a while you can get one for between $200 to $230 in working condition. It seems like most of the sellers overprice by a shit load and bundle in Sonic cd to justifying the price as if the game isn't common as fuck.

About four years ago, at a flea market I got a tub full of video game shit for $40. The most notable things in it were a Genesis model 2, a SCD model 1, a Saturn, and a PS2 slim. There were random cords and controllers, about 17 Genesis games (mostly crap) and netlink adapter with the disk. It all worked except one of the controller ports on the Saturn needed a little work. Later on, the SCD stopped working. I replaced the fuse and that got it going again. That was one of my best if not the best flea market find.

This is interesting...

I recently repaired a model one. Hassle is all I have to say. I put a new laser in it, new belt, fuses, and cleaned it up. It still is picky and the tray doesn't like to stay closed unless I push it in manually.
It looks cool, but it's unreliable.
Before this, I used a model two. The case is pitted from some kind of chemical from the previous owner, but all I had to do was change out a fuse and it's worked great for years. Way, way more reliable.
