20 Most Recent Sega Genesis Console Questions & Answers

no i dont think there are any "official" ones exept the box u get the console in and the boxes you get the games in

you should have a red light and if its on it should be working. I would just go on Amazon and buy a AV connector for the system, no need to use RF like its 1989 :)

I am guessing that the video cable is not comparable with your Sega Genesis console and that you need a video cable that is comparable with your Sega Genesis console.

There's a couple ways to hook it to a hdtv...you can use the original one that hooks up with cable wire ..just connect to cable connection on back of tv...switch to channel 3 or 4 on tv...or get the better a/v connecters connect to rca jacks...goodluck

Published on May 30, 2013 Recently I was challenged by fellow YouTuber Daz, cojonesdeloro, to rescue his badly damaged Japanese SEGA Mega Drive. To add to the problems, his console was also what is sometimes referred to as an Asian PAL Mega Drive. Basically an originally Japanese console which has been "converted" (butchered

Well the controller might be broken then and try using another controller if still no luck this has happened once before to me the contollers were find but I had tried to solder the control port for player 2 and it had worked after that it could just be that issue then with needing to be resoldered. Sometimes the controller ports can become a little loose do to old age and usage.

Well try cleaning the game pack out with qutips and rubbing alchal.

need to have an antenna port on the tv, once connected, need to turn the TV by searching for the frequency on your tv

The button cell battery is dead. You can replace them but you will have to solder them in. If you decide to do so dont heat the battery up to much for it may explode. If you have a friend that knows how to solder ask them for help.

You might want to resolder all the pins on the connector, and when you are in there, eeplace the caps to make it last forever

C'mon, this is a 90's system- blow in it- everyone knows that. Seriously, put some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip, and lean both sides of the contacts that go into the console. That should help.

Use a RF switch as thatwill solve the problem

Close to the power supply input is a 9-pin round connector. You will need a cable that connect this output to your TV. You can find the description here: http://www.gametrog.com/GAMETROG/SEGA_Genesis_1_2_3_Information_Specs.html Halfway the page you will find the description of the MK-1631 with details about the cable you need. There is a picture of the cable here: http://www.gametrog.com/GAMETROG/How_SEGA_AV_Audio_Video_Cable_RF_Box_RCA_Composite_S-video_Component_HD_for_Genesis_CD_32x_Saturn_Dreamcast.html You can also google for a "9-pin A/V Cable for SMS & GENESIS". I hope this helps!

Well I think that the ac adapter is causing the mayhem then.

It might be dead. I used to have two of them I got from a relative as well and one of them did the same thing. The inside might just be fried (they're old consoles). You could take it to a repair place if you really wanted to but it may cost more money to have it looked at than the system is worth as a whole.

i have a similar problem with my magadrive , runs ok for about 15 minutes then seems to lose the a/v signal , i think something is over heating on my machine ,if i find a solution ill get back to your post

you need to call Sega at 1800-842-7342. This is Segas phone number see what dose it cost to repair the genesis.
