/32X/

Without exception there is a better version of every title that would be worth emulating over running the 32x version even on real hardware.

What about that Star Wars game?

>>3836959
Tempo and Kolibri.

>>3836967
Star Wars Arcade is a great game but for the love of god play the vector version in high res through mame. Maybe on a plasma! Wish there was a homebrew version for Vectrex.

>>3836970
Tempo is meh but I forgot about Kolibri. You've got me there.

Does the 32x substantially improve the image quality of the average genesis model 2? E.g. get rid of the rainbow banding?

>>3836976
I actually prefer Tempo over Kolibri.

>>3836983
Certainly not substantially, if at all. Remember the video output from the genny goes through the 32x as analog and the 32x just lays additional graphics on top.

>>3836983
It improves the composite output. But you shouldn't be using composite on the Genesis anyway.

Virtua Fighter

>>3836991
It's so much like Rayman. I guess they're both pretty derivative and skippable but you're right they are 32x exclusives that afaik haven't been re-released or "remade"

>>3836997
All the AM2 ports are worth owning, unfortunately Space Harrier is just 30fps tho.

It's got the best port of Virtua Racing hands-down. PS2 and Saturn might look better but control like ass.

It was dead the minute it was released. Everybody, from developers to consumers, knew the Saturn was coming when this was released.

Only the Sega CD was supported with a decent library. Of the carts, the standouts are really just graphically better versions of games that were already good if not great on the Genny.

MK II and NBA JAM:TE are usually considered the best. I really like the scaling sprite games After Burner and Space Harrier (this was the ONLY system to do these two titles justice).

But unless you're pairing it with a CD, 4 games is all this add-on is worth, and they're all upgrades to previously released titles.

I've actually got a CDX. Problem is, I've heard they aren't compatible (I also have a Model 2 Genesis).

I'd kind of like to have a 32X for the Hell of it, but they seem fairly expensive these days.

Kind of hoping I can stumble upon one at a flea market or something, but I'm not holding my breath.

>>3837062
I've got about 15 32X and don't regret a single purchase.

>>3837089
32X games, that is. Not 32X systems. That would be ridiculous.

>>Is there any sort of homebrew scene for it?
I'm interested in this too. Funky hardware always attracts hobbyists.

Ah, but the Genesis to 32x connection is RGB and the Genesis image is only converted to composite using the 32x's video encoder, which is better than most Genesis models.

Shadow Squadron is the best 32X game.

NBA Jam TE, Blackthorne and SEGA's arcade ports are also good games.

Mortal Kombat II is a lazy Genesis port, but it's very playable (SNES port is the best one in the 16-bits era, though). Doom sounds terrible, it lacks stages, but the framerate is so much better compared with the SNES Super FX2 port, it's not even funny.

The composite output is an improvement over the stock Genesis.
