GOTHCLAWZ Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That's right, a Sega Neptune. Does anybody have any sources of sellers? One has been declared to work according to Wikipedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Positive Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I don't know about actual prototypes (I believe the one in that pic was debunked as Neptunes allegedly never hit prototype phase) however I know lots of people have been making them of late. Couple nice modding lads at digital press had some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I plan to make a few of these actually, if you aren't in a huge hurry just watch the Marketplace threads eventually I'll put some up. They will be the hombrew kind like Longhorn made. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Breakpack had one of these. (A modded one not an actual Neptune) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneAgeGamer Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I don't think any of the Sega Neptune prototypes even had any hardware in them. They were just shells and I only think 3 exist. I know they had one at the Classic Gaming Expo '07. Also if you plan on buying one of the modded Genesis 2s that play 32X games be prepared to pay. Much cheaper to just buy a 32X probably. However, if you got the cash it would be cool to have one. Edited May 22, 2009 by StoneAgeGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonaUSA Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'd be interested in one as well. Have any ideas on how close it will look to the real proto? Also, do you have a ballpark figure of what you'll be charging? Thanks Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Well I think I have what I'd need for about 10 right now. I could easily do the 32x in a Genesis 2. I'd like to see how it looks in a Genesis 1, and maybe try it with a CD drive in a Saturn shell. If at least 10 people wanted one and were willing to pay $200 - $300 It would certainly be worthy of dedicated attention for a few weeks to a month. A) I'd have to clear the schedual, and B) get a few prototypes going. I can't promise disc drives and a Saturn shell until I work on prototypes, but that would put them in the $300 range. If it were possible, I could always offer them both ways. Keep in mind this is a talking stage, and it could be months before I have a prototype model to show off and sell from. I have a couple smaller projects going that should be done by July. Time and money... AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think there is enough room for both boards on the X'Eye...The Gen model 2 is a perfect setup for a neptune..I still want a ALL in one the size of my CDX, but that will never happen. I can dream. My buddies neptune is in a modded NeoGeo AES case...its big and beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
