Title: 32X Question Post by: Barracuda on September 06, 2007, 09:09:09 PM Do you need the metal plates that come with the 32X? What happens if you don't use them?
Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: BadEnoughDude on September 06, 2007, 09:13:00 PM If I am not mistaken, the metal plates are only spacers between the add-on and the console. You shouldn't have any problem without them.
With that said, I would wait for definitive confirmation that this is the case. Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: James on September 07, 2007, 04:08:36 AM The metal plates are just to hold the flaps open on the Genesis.
The spacer is a big plastic pass-through for the Genesis 2. Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: OatBob on September 07, 2007, 10:10:45 AM You DO NOT need them. They hold open the flaps.
Actually I wouldn't recommend them as they let more dust in and are another piece to corrode. Now I really wish I had one of those plastic spacers. The unit doesn't quite sit right without it. Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: Barracuda on September 07, 2007, 11:09:24 AM Thanks for the info everyone. I recently acquired a 32x on ebay and this info makes me very happy.
Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: shaggy on September 08, 2007, 11:48:42 AM Ditto, I don't think you absolutely need it.
Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: Kevincal on September 10, 2007, 12:17:58 AM Eh actually iirc the plates are to protect the 32X from the RF shielding in the Genesis...or something like that...lol Meh that doesn't sound right lmao... Obviously they serve some purpose though, why would Sega spend money making and including them if they did nothing!? lol

Obviously they serve some purpose though, why would Sega spend money making and including them if they did nothing!? lol BINGO! The are not just spacers. You don't need them but it doesn't hurt to have them. I might have an extra set you can have. Title: Re: 32X Question Post by: Barracuda on September 10, 2007, 03:50:28 PM So you do need them. Oh well I still got a good deal on the lot I bought.
