JVC X eye

Found one at a local market. Whats this thing worth so I dont get ripped off ?
Plays regular sega cd games right ?

 

I have 1 and yeah jvc play sega cd and megadrive cart

 

I paid $30 for mine and included hookups. Bought it at a flea market where they also had a NEOGEO AES but wanted $600 for it, just the system too, no controller or cables.

 

dbeau...what did you pay and if you dont mind sharing what flea market?

 

wowzers.....hehe no one around here knows what a sega cd is...let alone a 32x..poor poor people....

 

I thought the WonderMega was the megadrive one and the X Eye was something else? I could be wrong though.

 

X-Eye is the cheep cut down version of the Wondermega. It plays Mega Cd / Sega CD games as well as Mega Drive games.

actually it's based on Wondermega 2 from memory...

Ah cool, learn something new everyday

 

Pick it up. If you don't want to keep it, sell it - there are people paying stuipd amounts for these things on eBay.

I won't link to any particular auction, but I'm seeing $51 + shipping and handling, plus a few "Buy it now" auctions at $125.

 

Sounds good to me, I'll go pick it up this weekend when it opens up. He only wants $35 CAD so if the average is 30-50 USD then I guess its a good deal. Quick question though as I didnt see any sega cd games, nor do I have any yet. Will it play burnt cdr games so I can atleast test to see if it works ?

I noticed this guy has a crap load of old systems that seem to have been there forever. Maby I can get a deal from him if I pick up 2 or 3 of them as I'm probably the only one in ages to even inquire about them. Lets hope. I want the dreamcast he has for $35 as well, good backup to have incase mine dies.

 

I *think* that there is no copy protection on the sega/mega cd as it was developed when Cd copying was prohibitely expensive. Don't quote me on that though

 

This is true, there is region lock out tho.

 

Theres a program that patches it for you automatically I believe.

sweat, thanks guys.. cant wait till this weekend to try out a whole world of gaming I have yet to experence....no high hopes though, this is just a sega cd. On that note any must haves or sudgestions I go hunting for in the way of sega cd ? I allready have a boat load of cartriges I can try.

 

Silpheed is supposedly good, and Sonic Cd is fantabulous.
