Rick Dangerous Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey folks. I tried to lock my Sega CD on to my Model 1 Genesis, but apparently the plate I have is designed for the Model 2 Sega CD. There is a locking switch on the left front of the model 1 Sega CD that i've seen...Anyone know how, or what the correct plate is to use? My model one genesis just sort of sits there and if I pick it up on the left it will raise a bit. I'd like to lock it down. Thanks for any tips.

Rick Dangerous Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 The feet of the genesis 1 would have me believe that it is supposed to just "rest there" but then why the locking mechanism on the Sega CD 1 left side??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the locking mechanism on the left side is for the audio wire that runs from the back of the sega cd model 1, to the front of the sega genesis model 1. It just helps make it look nicer if your run your wire through it and along the left side - also helps it from hanging in front of the disc tray when it opens. I hope that helps... I can take a picture of the model 1 heat shield/plate if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe the Model 1 doesn't lock into the model 1 cd unit, but I guess they thought of that by the second iteration of the CD unit...

Jeremy Popp Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) The image below shows a model 1 Genesis with the correct model 1 adapter plate/shield. As you can see, it has tabs that do lock it into place pretty well - I cannot lift it up when connected. For reference, here is the front left side locking mechanism being used as intended. It's unrelated to the connection of the Genesis unit. Hope that helps! Edited October 28, 2014 by Jeremy Popp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know i've seen the model 2 shield a few dozen times (and own two) but I've never seen the model 1 sheild. The hunt begins!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Got my model 1 plate in the mail last night and it works great! Highly recommend it for anyone who is doing the model 1/model 1 CD combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
