    Funny fact: Sega actually made their own power strip when the 32X came out, that had enough room to plug in 5 AC adapters. They called it the Sega Power Strip. I've still got one of those in my closet.

      They're power supplies used to step down the voltage of the wall into something that won't immediately kill whatever you're powering. They're bulky because they physically have to be, you can't make software to stepdown voltage, so you need actual components which take up room. If you don't want all of that heavy, bulky, heat producing components inside your system, then you have no choice but to make a box.

      The QSound system in the 32x was extremely poorly documented, apparently.
      You know what else was terribly underused? The Ricoh sound chip in the Sega CD. Not every game for the SCD used CD audio, and almost all of those disappointingly used the YM2612 for sound instead of the Ricoh chip, which is a shame because the Ricoh chip had eight channels of ADPCM, with volume control, panning, and even ASDR envelope support. The only thing it didn't have was an echo/reverb filter, which isn't that big a deal.
      TBH, they should have given the Genesis a chip like that to begin with.

    • @LunarDelta
      @LunarDelta 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, the original Genesis had a standalone Yamaha YM2612. Other versions had a YM3438 that was integrated into a general purpose chip on the motherboard. The latter was better because it had far less DAC noise, but also worse because people had actually been creatively using the DAC noise to make special effects and now they couldn't do that, and games that made use of it wouldn't play back properly. The new chip also had a terrible amplification circuit.

    • @jarnoob
      @jarnoob 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Mike DiLoreto the second cable is there because the genesis drew the characters etc. and the 32x infact only drew the background. So the video signals were merged in 32x. And yes, this is the worst imaginable way to do it.

    • @meetoo594

      @jarnoob It was the other way round, genesis drew the backgrounds whilst the 32x overlaid the 3d graphics and sprites. 32x wasnt bad actually, space harrier and afterburner were pretty much arcade perfect and virtua racing and kolibri were far superior to anything a base genesis could run.

      Super Famicom games don't have endlabels either, though! It makes you think - out of all the conscious design choices around Nintendo consoles, one of them was to eliminate endlabels. It gets even worse when you realise this: *Famicom* games didn't have endlabels! We only had endlabels on NES cartridges in Europe and Australia because we used the NES design - so, the NES was adapted for the US market, but not for Europe (can't speak for Australia - I'm English). And Nintendo wondered why the NES failed over here...
      I went to Japan a few years ago, and when my host mother heard that I'd bought some SFC carts, she dug out her old Super Famicom from her attic with about 5 games, insisting upon me taking it home with me. Here's the thing: she still had the game boxes, which I've also held on to, and the lack of endlabels doesn't matter because of the boxes. Maybe the lack of endlabels was never noticed in Japan because it was common to hold onto the boxes, which most western gamers would instead throw out. What do you reckon?

    I think I read somewhere that Sega of America designed the 32X not knowing Sega of Japan was working on the Saturn at the same time, so that's called one hand not taling to the other.
    And about Nintendo's end labels: Keep in mind that the US NES and SNES cartridges are completely different from the Japanese Famicom and Super Famicom cartridges (which didn't have end labels) while the N64 had the same cartridge designs around the world, so Nintendo didn't just stop using end labels, Nintendo of America just stopped changing the design of the whole consoles for no reason.

    Nice to watch an AVGN episode without needing to fast forward a 90 second commercial for Express VPN.

    I remember seeing a lesser-known console called the Sega CDX. Basically, it's like a Genesis, a Sega CD, and a 32x all in one relatively compact console. I guess it was Sega's attempt to fix a lot of the issues of the original peripherals, but I guess it never really sold as well.

      Yeah, it came out with the Saturn I believe, so it was outdated when it came out.

      Viltronic Gaming they should've just done all that with the Saturn. Have it play all of them and then it could have expanded their lives further.

      Fighter_Builder Actually, it is only a Genesis and Sega CD all in one, but you can still plug the 32x on it.

      batman32451 Maybe, but it kind of reminds me of how we keep releasing things on last gen consoles. Sometimes, we just need to let the technology die.

    8:27 Oh god I love the music. Where did the music come from? I feel like it's familiar, like it's from Contra, but I don't know which music is it.

      . JJ1013 You're right about the Contra part! It's the area 1 theme from Super Contra
