Just use an emulator. Its great its free its easy to use and the Sega CD is a piece of crap and is not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second Saturn's opinion.

Why not get one and have a part of your collection which will mean something rather than just loading up a ROM in emulator that will mean nothing once you
A。Get bored with it.
B。Finish th game.

Thanks for encouraging illegal actions.

I don't think emulating Genesis/32x/SegaCD is so illegal. I mean, Sega doesn't even sell those consoles anymore.
For poor people emulator works, i could buy both Genesis and Sega CD, but the only real problem is, it's nearly impossible for people like me ( for example ) to get those, because:
1.) The original Genesis,32x and Sega CD wasn't very popular in our country as the crappy clones ware, that didn't quiet work so well.
so you rarely can find a Genesis, that isn't a clone in my country.
2.) I could by it on Ebay, or something like that, but i can't shop on internet.. yet.

Some emulators work well, Fusion/Gens for example, they barely have any problems ( at least i haven't came across any ), so i can't see a problem with them, but yeah, the real thing IS better.

That's What I'm doing now since that I been getting so much Systems [well not alot but you know what I mean] I decided to start a collection but I just wanted to ask about the Sega CD I mean it can't be that bad.

I've been wanting to buy a Sega CD off ebay for like 2 months now. I've lost 10 auctions trying to get my hands on one. It seems a lot of people are wanting the Sega CD add on because this add on is selling for over $100 dollars in some auctions.

SegaCDs in any country are particularly rare.  The Model 2 is a little easier to come by, but if your like me and have a model one Genesis, I want the Model 1 CD.  Which is much more rare and expensive.  I've put aside 65 bucks to buy one but it's still hard to find one that cheap.

What you can do is buy Sega CD games and run them on an emulator. This way you can avoid anything illegal.  Even though Sega doesn't sell the Sega Gen/32X/CD they still own the rights to them.

As far as games go, Sol-Feace, Snatcher, Sonic CD (of course), Dragon's Lair... Just of the top of my head. Good luck getting Snatcher though. The Sega CD is the only English Version. So it's rare and valuable.  If you liked Metal Gear Solid on Playstation you will like Snatcher.

Though when I do get one I'm going to have one hell of a tower.  Sega CD, Genesis, and a 32X all stacked on top of each other... I can't wait.

EDIT:  Wouldn't it be fun to stack everything you can on top of that poor little Genesis.  A 32X, follow by, X-Band, Game-Genie, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3.

I can't get the model 1 since that I have a model 2 Genesis and I know I can just get the model 1 Genesis then the Model 1 CD but I think I perfer the Model 2 CD and also XD Lol That Would be a big mess.And also about the Games I found some of these good games like this game call Popful Mail [I think that's what it is called] and snatcher I never actually saw the game but I have heard of it and seen the Box Art.

That's a nice Middleground Suggestion. ^_^

just buy it, if you have the money. You might not be able to find one in the future.

okay yes that's a good suggestion but I'm not sure about that I mean what if my laptop is being repaired or something like that and it takes a while for it to be repaired? I won't be able to even play the games.

Yeah, but it just doesn't feel the same like it does playing on the actual thing..

@Saturn:That is Very true. if I just buy Sega CD games and play them on the emulator it won't feel like I'm actually playing the Sega CD it'll just feel like I'm just playing this collection game that just includes some of the games.


@Xeniczone:no I do not like the FMV games but I found some games that I want to get like Popful mail,some of the Rerelease genesis games on the Sega CD,and some other games that I don't remember the title and I also like that you can play fan games on the Sega CD such as Sonic 1 megamix.And Sonic CD well I don't think I'll get that game since the fact that I already have it on the gamecube and I play the JP version on the emulator.


Sik:I see Thanks for telling me. ^^ And I saw the links you posted and you didn't need to post Sonic CD because I already know that it is good and I play the game Already XD But the other games you show me I knew there were more good ones then the ones that I was talking about I'll add those to my collection games.

If you can understand Japanese the list is much bigger. Japan got all the good games ._.

Yeah true....=/

If you like playing Japanese games their is one of 2 things you can do.

First is buy the game and rip the iso.  Then you need to change the header of the game so that it boots as an American game. Burn it to a cd and your good to go.

The second thing you can do is build a multibios.  This is very technical but you can get the EPROM Memory chip and using a chip programmer put multiple bios on the same Sega CD.  Changeable by switch. So you set the switch and boot the Sega CD and it will boot in to the bios that you choose using the switch.

I almost did something like this.  There was a Jap Model 1 Sega CD on ebay not too long ago that was broken (With the common rattle where the back of the plastic CD drive breaks off on the inside. Easy Fix.) and came with the original box.  So i put a bid on it and waited.  The idea was, I would win it, fix it, and then change the bios on it to an American bios. So it would basically be a American Mega CD .  But I lost the bid by 10 bucks :\

Thanks for the tip but I'm gonna need some more info on the First one because I don't know how to change the header.

AAAAAAAAND two of mine had disk errors. one froze and one has a faulty disk drive
