Kasenoke Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Holy ^$!!!!! My friend was thrifting around at a Goodwill, and found a Sega system that both of us (we're Sega nuts) have never heard of!!! We think its a prototype! It only came with 1 hookup (an RF unit), but we can supply a power cord. Im not joking! As soon as I can, I'll try to got yall some pictures. Ok, if you want a discription: Its small, not much bigger than an original Game Boy, black (like so many other Sega systems...) and has a cartride slot that, now this is the wierd part, both 32X AND Genesis carts can fit in!!!! How the Hell?!?!?!?!?! Pictures shall come soon!! (And no, we havent tested it yet... but Im doing that as soon as we find a power cord!)

This is no Nomad. (Although I did mistake it for one when I saw it. Did I mention that it has a CD slot? (No, its not a CDX either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Sega normally put the names on all of their systems, even the mythical Sega Neptune mock up had the name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Maybe it is the unappreciated Sega Pico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this site: http://www.geocities.com/sylph55/oddities.html Is this a picture of the Neptune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 From the description I'd say it's a JVC XEye. If it works, that's a nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 im going to guess its a wondermega/X'Eye. The wider cart slot would allow you to play imports without modding the carts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasenoke Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 Our digital camera isnt working. I know it sounds like a lie, but I promise Im trying to get pics. The opening screen freezes up whenever I try to load a CD, yet 32X carts and Genesis carts work on it. This is seriously cool. I'll get pictures as Soon as I can! As for the name, I don't know, this only has a Sega logo on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasenoke Posted April 12, 2003 Author Share Posted April 12, 2003 any luck getting it to work or take some pics? the gaming public is hungry for details! No, not really. We cant wait to get it running, but we dont exactly know what type of power supply to use (We dont know the polarity.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 The opening screen freezes up whenever I try to load a CD, yet 32X carts and Genesis carts work on it. No, not really. We cant wait to get it running, but we dont exactly know what type of power supply to use (We dont know the polarity.). Uh... huh... Anyways, here's a nice picture of an X'Eye that I stole from some eBay auction (I steal all my pics from eBay apparently). Look familiar at all? --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 On a seperate (and less critical) note, my friend and I often go thrifting together... and we always joke that we'll find a stack of Neptune's at thrift stores, when in reality we never find anything there for years on end. We also joke about finding Nomad's on the street, and kicking them into the gutter because they're worthless. I guess we have weird senses of humor. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, how can you do the following if you have no way of turning on the system? Quit pulling our legs here, alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I was wondering when someone would pick up on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 ze_ro will pick up on ANYTHING.. ive come to notice that.. which is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Heheh... yeah, well, I get suspicious when people claim to have stuff like this. I also found it odd that there was no mention of the CD-ability of it until the second post Although that Odyssey^3 that showed up a while back was pretty sweet... It's nice to be reminded that holy grails DO show up once in a while. I hate to be pessimistic, and I'd love to see some pics to back up this claim... but frankly, I think this is a hoax. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 i'm having serious doubts myself, i'd prefer to be proven wrong. it would be much more exciting to see a new item discovered. seeing as how this post missed april fools day by a few days whats the point in making something like this up?

Ze_ro Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 So, are we still getting pictures of this thing or what? I'm curious to see what they'll be... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
