About the Sega 32X Console
The Sega 32X, released in 1994, adds enhanced graphics and processing power to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. However, many units today suffer from aging capacitors, ribbon cable degradation, or video passthrough issues. Additionally, cartridge slot wear and connector corrosion are common problems. Learn more about the console’s history on Wikipedia and check retro gaming tips on Retro Gaming Stack Exchange.
