Hi all, I have recently purchased an arcade pad for my old megadrive and I went to try it out today and my sega wont play.

I made sure all the connections were ok and the frequency was right, the consol itself shows the red power light when you turn it on but not picture or sound plays.

Is this caused by my cartridges or is it my consol itself? (its brand new out of box, used once)

Any help you guys can give would be great, thanks.

I never thought of that actually, boy am i gonna fell mighty silly if that works

I'm planning to play Streets of rage 1 and Alien.

haha I love that game so much, used to play it with my cousin when we were only nerdlings, used to spend hours throwing full court shots and never getting them in.

I went a bit crazy and bought a load of games for it a few months ago and it's proudly set up on the main Telly.

The switcher did not work as it doesn't work on an AV channel as it's RF and I had to tune it in manually. The problem was that with the Megadrive tuned in I lost picture quality when I wanted to watch Sky.

I bought one on of these and I don't need to worry about this now.
