If you already have a s-vid modded genny, and only want to use the 32X for Pier Solar's Easter Egg... You can just get all of your Audio and Video from the Genny. However, if you want to play some games that are specifically designed for the 32X, you'll need a mod, or go the external converter route. |

External converter is the way to go. I got a genesis 2/32x/CD 2 setup and had a guy over at sega-16 make me a custom external s-video converter. I pull video from the 32x and audio from the CD. I think he charged around $80 and it looks great with no distortion problems and no modding any of the systems. If your interested I might be able to dig up his username over there. |

@ Bear78: So am I correct in assuming your setup sends video via SCART to the box, which then outputs s-video? Sure, I'd be interested. Send me a PM with the contact info. But I'm quickly traveling into the realm of neither method truly being cheaper than the other, haha. #fml #hashtag |

Alright, so I sat down with my partner in crime and hashed out all the different options available to us at this point, and we ran those options past another acquaintance whose knowledge I trust on the subject. All things considered, we agreed that the simplest and most cost-effective way of getting things done (which also reduces the quantity of items needed to purchase/daisy-chain together) was just to buy a pre-modded 32X. Otherwise, the alternatives would actually prove to be just as, if not more, expensive. We agreed to split the cost between us, with the understanding that I would reimburse him for his half of the payment at a later time. I'll report my impressions of the unit's quality when I can. |

Like I said, he made the external box for me and posted this video on youtube to show it working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n634v6V8lvI It's not hooked up to a 32x in the video but since the 32x video out port is the same as the genesis 2 out port it works fine. So I have the gray cable he provided in the video (forgot what it's called) running from my 32x to the box then a S-video running from the box to my TV. If you go this route there is NO modding to any part of the console. It's all done externally. |
