r/Megadrive

I still need to sort out the headphones, reset and power decals. Ordered them a while ago and they haven't arrived yet, but I couldn't wait to share my finished project

Hi everyone I am selling my rarest 32x game and it is complete with manual

Feel free to drop me a message can ship worldwide.

It's not the size of one's collection but what one does with it!

A few years ago I posted a photo of my Sega Mega Drive collection online, and recently I noticed someone reposted that exact picture claiming it as their own collection here on reddit , on this same /r

So I thought it would be a good moment to share an updated photo of how the collection currently looks today.

The old picture only showed a fraction of it compared to now, and the collection has grown a lot over the years. A lot of time, effort, and passion went into building it, especially trying to find complete copies in good condition.

Here’s the current state of the collection.

Pics from some of my JP MD collection (all boxed up at the moment).

What do you think? All killer no filler.

My look back at all the Earthworm Jim games, sequels, ports and unreleased games. I loved the first 2 games. Great gameplay, animation, music and not to mention the humour. It was like playing in TV cartoon. Although I have to say the series did take a drop in standard with Earthworm Jim 3D and that gameboy game.
Please share your thought and memories of these games.

My current collection so far. I'll add some box shots later. Some of these I've kept since me and my brother had the console for Xmas.

So I bought a modded console and some games earlier today and paprium was the thing I was gonna buy but he had some more things he wanted to get rid off. Therefore I didnt check the console at all and noticed it was modded when I came back home. I have no clue what has been done to the console but would be fun to know. The switch is probably to change region if I had to guess but other than that im lost😅 Last pic is the games I got😊

The capacitors have been removed and replaced with new ones. The original BIOS has been replaced with a socket and fitted with a current v3 version. The FRAM (FM18W08-SG, 256KB) is connected to the CPU and is correctly recognized with the proper size.

I bought this scart cable for my mega drive 2 from a retro games shop to replace the standard coaxial, but it’s flat on the bottom so it doesn’t fit in the slot on the console. Is this cable for something else? It doesn’t look squashed but maybe it is? Unless it’s for a mega cd or something else?

Got these two PAL copies of Fatal Fury 2 on the Mega Drive: Australia vs UK.

Same game, same artwork… but the Aussie version has that vertical SEGA Hotline sticker on the front, which completely changes the look of the cartridge.

Love these small regional quirks within PAL releases - easy to miss, but super interesting from a collecting perspective. As far as I remember, Super Street Fighter II had two distinctive PAL labels, one black grid label from the UK and the blue label from rest of Europe.

Anyone else here into PAL variants like this?

Hello, everyone. I have a 32X myself (a VA1 revision) that’s a Japanese HMA-2400. It works well and after I reseated the flex cable a year ago, doesn’t have any issues; no whine, no musical/sound issues, and even the visuals are top notch.

However, I would like to trade my working VA1 32X for a working VA0 32X that’s also NTSC-J (HMA-0001). You might be wondering “But why? Why trade a perfectly responsive 32X for one that has issues with certain Mega Drive revisions around the Model 2?”

To further explain; I’ve been collecting the earliest revisions of each Sega console, addon, and handheld (black-stripped SG-1000, Sega Mark III, VA0 Sega Mega Drive Model 1, Sega Saturn Model 1, Sega Game Gear, and Sega Dreamcast, and the launch Sega Mega CD) for testing and rarity purposes, keeping them in tip-top shape and eventually recapping them, possibly even giving them much needed mods or repairs to have them functional and well. This is also for novelty purposes, of course. As for some of these (Post-Saturn) don’t really differ much between revisions other than mild things such as slight renaming of certain chips or a smaller board.

I was trying to complete my Tower of Power VA0 set (I have a VA0 Mega Drive 1 and a Launch Mega CD 1 with the socketed BIOS) and all I’m missing from it is the Super 32X VA0. So essentially, for consistency purposes, I was thinking of hauling this one off to someone who wants it and in return, I get a Super 32X VA0 to complete my Tower set.

If any of you have any questions or are willing to trade. Feel free to ask them. DM me if you want to do the trade, however, we need to negotiate something as to not weasel each other out on the deal.

Of course, if no one is willing to do this trade, that’s fine. I can always keep this one and just get it later when I’m more financially stable and have the time.
