A million is enough — or even half of that if the fan base is vocal enough. Nobody playing a game is worse than it getting bad reviews. And so a unique Sonic game, a Star Wars flight-sim and all those other games are lost to time, with only the clever developers of emulators keeping them alive.
Looking back on the 32x, it was an interesting experiment, terribly handled. Sega segregated their own market. They segregated the market within the genesis community. It was also the beginning of the end for Sega as a console manufacturer. They would be around for another five years, creating the disappointing Saturn and the incredible Dreamcast. And yet their marketing never managed to get across.
But this period of Sega history has become mostly forgotten, at retail if not in the memories of fans. Mat Growcott has been a long-time member of the gaming press. The Sega Virtua Processor based Virtua Racing is the only exception - the game will not run on a Mega Drive with a 32X unit attached due to its processor. There was an enhanced version of the game available for the 32X, however. Without the use of the spacer on a Mega Drive II, some of the 32X hardware was left exposed and vulnerable.
The combined unit was also very prone to tipping over, risking damage to the unit and games. In addition to the physical problems, there was also an issue with FCC approval. Most 32X games cannot be played unless the distribution region of the game matches the region of the console.
A few games are not locked and can be played on a console from any region e. FIFA All but one of the games released for the Japanese market were released in the United States, albeit some had different names. The lack of a significant userbase due to the high cost of purchasing all three necessary components saw only five games released, only one of those developed by Sega. One little-known aspect of the 32X was its vastly improved audio subsystem, known as Q-Sound and developed by QSound Labs.
While this theoretically gave the system audio capabilities that outstripped even the Super NES, the sound chipset proved to be poorly documented and exceptionally difficult to program for. As a result, most games ignored the Q-Sound system and used the Mega Drive's on-board sound chip, thus leaving the 32X's audio capabilities largely untapped. To this day, emulators still have difficulty providing sound emulation for the few titles that did make use of the Q-Sound system.
On January 8, , Hayao Nakayama , then CEO of Sega, ordered his company to make a bit cartridge based console that would be in stores by Christmas This would at first be named "Project Jupiter", but after Sega found CD technology cheaper, they decided to modify it instead of dropping the cartridge project that would be called "Project Saturn ". The first idea was a new Mega Drive with more colours and a bit processor.
