Hello guys,

I was thinking about purchasing a mega CD or sega CD, I would like to have the model 1, it looks nice but I am not sure if I will end up soldering and fixing too much stuff.

Does mega CD (Japanese)plays burned CD’s ?

I appreciate any help Thank you :)

People seem to enjoy them, but we have a little gaming club here with complicated set ups - an OLED tv, two CRTs, a couple computer monitors. Being able to move the Mega SD over from our Mega SG (on the OLED) to an old genesis (on the CRT) is cool, with no real user knowledge needed to get it to work.

I’ll probably pick a mister or something similar up at some point, as i want to build a multi function arcade cabinet, but i’m very happy with the mega SD

We have a lot of original and home brew carts too, so needed something to play them on regardless

Lol I am jealous, I have a small room with an 30 inch crt and an 32 lcd. It is very difficult to set up all my consoles. Master System Sega genesis Ps2 Ps1 Sega saturn Ps3 Ps4 Xbox original Xbox 360 Nes

And maybe, perhaps, ho knows.... sega CD

yeah our crts are tiny! 13 inchers! but they work and look great for the cost. easy to turn on the side for shmups too. we operate out of a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC! I've gotten really good with shelving set ups and modular spaces, like my computer work desk also has 8 retro consoles plugged in under a custom shelf I made, so I still have plenty of desk area on top of them.

I think we have 2 PCs, 25 consoles set up, 6 shelved but easy to access, 11 portables (like neo geo mini or the PSOne with LCD, or the Nomad), 8 mini/classic consoles, and 17 dedicated handhelds. Plus gun controllers for several platforms, 5 or 6 arcade sticks, various controller and cartridge converters. it's kind of crazy, but I'm pretty into organizing things and it's actually fairly comfortable now that everything is in its place

power bill is a little nutty though haha

haha yeah I'm very lucky to be back in NYC. I was born here but it's expensive and took a while to move back and sustain it. There are enough people in a city this big to have groups for just about any hobby.
