    Simple question, are those 3 in 1 PSUs worth it?
    Having all three plugged in at once is annoying
    This is what im talking about

    As long as the voltage is around 9V and the rated amperage is >3A then it should do fine.

    I have had cheap switch mode power supplies struggle with the Mega CD starting to spin and move the laser head and you can see the LEDs dim.

    I have the Sega Trio and it works amazingly. Rarely have the 32X hooked up and just put a piece of electrical tape over the 3'rd connector. It comes in various flavors though so you can just one for the Genesis/SCD instead of Genesus/SCD/32X.

    My Sega Trio works flawlessly as well. My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner.

    You need the original Sega power strip. Other power strips may not have sufficient blast processing capability and your Genesis games will end up looking like SNES games.

    Is it still worth getting or rather, is it safe to use if you don't have all three devices?

    I use mine all the time without the 32x attached and just Sega cd and Genesis. I've never had any problems, but you can ask the manufacturer to be certain.

    I have one, it's good, nice and reliable and tidy. Although I'm now insanely jealous of Nick's power strip.

    I also own the Retrogamesupply's 3-1 PSU and I can vouch for its quality and specs. It is really well made and have zero percent issues. I also wish I bought it earlier.
    Also, I do know several other people who own all of other retrogamesupply products and are also completely satisfied with them.
