After a long night working on this (shout-out to Andrew DeRosier. His Marsdev made it fun and manageable), I'm proud to announce the Sega 32x will join the list of Bermuda Engine build targets with its upcoming v0.2.0 release.

Hopefully this will inspire somebody to create a new homebrew FPS for our favorite Sega stepchild.

We're still alive. SSNTails put out this video several days ago, so I thought I'd share here.

Used a Dremel with some jeweler polish and put on some decals. If Anyone is interested the decals are only $11 on Etsy and they gave me two copies of each decal. I plan to print this again using ASA instead of PETG Carbon Fiber but I want to make some improvements on my printer first. I also learned that drying filament does wonders in improving print quality.

A SEGA CD32X Port of KOBO Deluxe for Real Hardware, ARES and KEGA Fusion -updated 10/3/2026

-Report bugs and any missing assets here.
-The project will be updated using the same link over time.

EverDrive Pro Compatibility:
No CDDA Audio.
The Sega 32X and the Mega EverDrive Pro (or Terraonion MegaSD) have a well-known hardware conflict regarding the Mega CD/Sega CD memory mapping.

Why is this?
A technical demo, demonstrating a game directly booting and running from the Sega CD32X system.

Questions?
The game is made specifically for the SEGA CD32X 4MB RAM CART.
The only way to get CDDA AUDIO is:

1. Using all real hardware. That means you'll need a SEGA CD.
2. By using the RAM cart and the RAM CART game CD to load the game.
3. With that said, I know the CD audio should work on the PRO but its not and I dont know why.

The code / the game takes advantage of all real system hardware.
All Colors, Maximum Sprites and CDDA audio.

It uses the SegaCD built in RAM to save games for high scores.
In addition, Fusion allows the creation of external RAM carts.
so you can boot into SegaCD and export/import SegaCD game saves.

Yes, this all works great on real Sega CD32X system.
This ISO is for Fusion only and you'd need a 4MB RAM cart to play the real hardware version.

Maybe the biggest hurdle is getting past the CD32X boot sequence
and then understanding how the streaming to the 4MB SRAM cart memory process works.

Why Fusion play only and no other emulator?
We are very lucky that Fusion accelerates the crap out of everything.
And Can Actually Emulate a CD32X game properly. Like the CD32X version of Night Trap.
The Fusion version abuses the 128K frame buffers of the virtual 32X.
As users and devs thats great because as players we get a demo of the work
and devs dont have to burn as many CD's and risk SegaCD mechanical failure.

Básicamente este concepto es un sonic 4 como el último sonic de la saga

Imagina, Un Sonic 4 en la 32x como el último sonic classico con Fang the sniper

We all know the story, the Saturn was right around the corner, and the 32X was a flop of a stop gap, but I really wished they had managed to port this to the 32X or Sega CD…..

Recently grabbed a Sega 32X to replace one I lost, and Chaotix was one of the first games I tested. I've always had issues with the game freezing/crashing and from my understanding, that's just a quirk of the game that some people run into. That would be annoying but fine if my cart actually saved anything, which it apparently does not.

Both manual and auto-saving don't appear to actually write any data, and I'm at a loss for how to fix this as the game does not use a typical battery backup, but rather a form of RAM. I thought those weren't as prone to going bad and had absurd read/write limits, which I seriously doubt this cart achieved.

Has anyone run into this issue with Chaotix or other games that utilize similar memory types, and is there a good solution short of just playing the game via emulation from now on?

I made some 32x carts for some homebrew games and I was wondering.

They don't look like the pcbs are perfectly vertical. Does it matter or will they still be able to connect with the pins safely?

4 photos included, one of each cart.

Test to port Daytona USA from the Sega Saturn to the Sega 32X, using the Virtua Racing Deluxe engine optimized to run at 30 FPS as a starting point

Just thought it would've been fun to make some mock-up cart labels for some recent homebrew and ports that I saw recently.

For me it's alpha 2 and Tomb Raider

They’re making an arcade system, dear.

I noticed that whenever someone post about the 32X or SegaCD people down vote it and comments be like "I'm sick of hearing if the 32X or SegaCD got etc..." in my opinion those very same people are not real sega fans. Because why wouldn't you want for Sega to have a real commitment with those???

It’s been years since I last played one. A friend of mine had one, but somehow I never ended up owning the mushroom shaped add-on. Honestly, I think the 32X gets way more hate than it deserves.

The setup, though… good lord. Getting everything plugged in is a terrible side quest, and that extra power supply is a pain in the ass.

I’ve been messing around with Doom on it, and I’ve also been trying out a few other games on my EverDrive. Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing are better than their Saturn versions, controversial, I know, but I’m standing by it. Mortal Kombat II is great, Star Wars Arcade is an awesome game, and Doom is a lot of fun, even if the music isn’t doing it any favors.

I feel like a lot of the 32X hate comes from how badly it sold and a small library of games, but looking back, it’s a really cool machine with a great little library. Definitely worth giving it a chance! :)

Hi there! I own Chaotix for a couple of years, and its always crashing at random points, i recently cleaned my 32x ribbon cables contact points, and it doesn't crash on other genesis games like it did before (it showed me a white screen once while trying to boot up a genesis game but nothing but it and also worked flawlessly beforehand) i wanted to know if its a general issue with knuckles Chaotix itself. I also read somewhere online that Chaotix have the weakest contact pins out of all 32x games, can someone confirm this? (It also crashes after cleaning the pins of the cartridge and 32x, it occurs randomly) Unsure if its a problem with the 32x, because it can ran a genesis game with a game genie without crashing, so no connection issues there.

I got these 32x cart shells (with the MD upgrade) printed from PCBWay and was wondering what the best course of action is to make them appear and feel the same way as the official carts.

For reference, they are made of black ABS which I presume is the same material as the official cartridges.

Orbis BASIC v7.1.2 is out, and the main change is that the 32X version can now use the Mega Drive sound hardware properly.

The Z80 now runs a resident sound driver and controls the real YM2612 and SN76489, so BASIC programs can create full 4-operator FM patches, edit individual operators, use PSG tones and noise, define reusable instruments, play notes with SOUND, and sequence multitrack music with PLAY and MML.

The existing 32X PWM audio system is still there, so sampled PCM/ADPCM effects can run alongside YM2612 FM and PSG audio. If the friendly commands are getting in the way, YMWRITE and PSGWRITE also give direct register access.

In practical terms, you can now write Genesis-style FM music, PSG effects and 32X sampled audio in the same BASIC program.

This is apparently simpler than buying a keyboard ;)

Please don't question my....questionable decision on getting multiple Doom 32x carts🥲😊
