Hey retro community! Today I tackle that Sega CD model 2 I picked up a while back and see if I can get it working. It also came with a model 1 Genesis, and while the focus of this video is the Sega CD, I do test it as well in case that's the culprit, though a full repair on it doesn't happen in this video.

Note: The audio in the first part of the video is not great due to me forgetting to switch to the external mic and by the time I realized, it was too late for me to re-record those sections. Tried cleaning it up as much as possible. Normal audio starting at around the 8:30 mark.

============================================================
Update 4/17/23: Forgot to test with the Mega SG so here's a link to a #youtubeshorts to see if it does:
