Also picked up a Genesis 2 w/ 2 controllers for $12.99, looks like it runs with all of my stuff. I'm glad I was able to get a working one for cheap instead of going online.

i gave my brother my genesis... which i found in a ditch one day, but it worked flawlessly. the NES that was alongside it had a broken 72-pin connector, which i replaced.
i'm extremely upset that i did that... we no longer keep contact. genesis consoles have shot up in cost, too. and i had a complete copy of xmen 2... which he also has. i like the genesis a lot (that music chip is magic tho) but i'll likely never get another because the cost is just fucking ridiculous.

maybe one day i'll find another ditch-haul. i mean, i DID get a 48" tv the same way... with stand... and remote... works pretty much flawlessly, as well, it's my HDTV. maybe one day i'll get lucky again. i guess i can keep fingers crossed. >.>;;
(i have found stuff in dumpsters at apartment complexes at the end of the month too
no shame)

Yeah the genesis was a pretty bittersweet victory after what happened with the xbox discs earlier today. I originally had gotten a genesis to use alongside my Sega CD that I acquired from another vgcollect member, but had to return that genesis along with others because they wouldn't boot and I didn't want to pay the high online prices for the system.

I've already noticed that some of the stuff I want on the system ( like Truxton) has jumped considerably in price, so I know I won't be trying to get some of my wants anytime soon. I'm hoping that some of my thrifts will come through for me, since I've found a few Genesis titles from them recently. But I agree that its a cool console, the sound chip is pretty powerful if used well.

Are genesis systems really worth money?  I've got like 10 of them sitting in my closet.  I was selling them for $10 a piece a few years back.

Genesis systems have doubled or tripled from when I was buying them for parts, but I wouldn't consider it "money." The real money (aside from non-TMSS HD model 1) is the power supply.

I've been told that a lot, how do you know if a model 1 is non-tmss?

What little I read somewhere else made it sound like I can pop in a copy of Populous, if it loads I'm good, if not, it is a TMSS model.

Well really, you can put in any game and see if the TMSS screen comes up. But I linked to that for ways to tell without powering on the system.

Maybe I missed something, but their only statement was the FCC ID, but they also stated that there are reports of the longer FCC ID also having the TMSS.

No, not really. I can still find Genesises for about $30. They just aren't a sought-after system, which is a shame because it's a great system.

Now if you have a 32X, Sega Power Base Converter, or a Sega CD attachment to go with one, then that REALLY ups the value.
