| − | [[Image:Multimega.jpg|frame|right|Sega Multi-Mega, European model]]The '''Sega Genesis CDX''' (a.k.a Multi-Mega) is a [[Sega Genesis]] and [[Sega CD]] in one unit, with the added function of operating as a personal CD player, running off of batteries (althought a power adaptor can be used for this also, it won't provide much help in a car...). It featured the last version of the Mega CD [[Bios]], v.2.21. SEGA stopped producing the console when [[32X]]s were being made, and annouced the CDX as merely a novelty item, and not intended for the main stream. It is also, like the Sega CD and [[Sega Saturn]], compatible with [[CD plus G|CD+G]] discs. | + | #REDIRECT[[sega:Sega CDX]] |

| − | It is about as large as a standard personal CD player, with the only extra size being to fit the Genesis cartridge slot. It's also slightly heavier.

| − | The unit takes a standard [[Sega Genesis#Genesis 2|Genesis 2]] power adaptor, which fits into the top of the unit. It also uses the Genesis 2-style A/V leads, which resides in the right of the machine, meaning you have to have a 2 inch gap at that one side.

| − | The left side of the unit has 3 features, a headphones socket, which works for both CDs and games, along with a volume control. This was heavily missed with the Genesis 2, so this is a welcome addition. There is also a line out socket for hooking up to a hi-fi system.

| − | The front of the unit has controller port 1 on the far left, a power button in the middle, and controller port 2 on the far right. This spacing looks nice, if causing annoyances with the 4-way [[multitap]]. Above this there are the unit controls. From left to right we have a small Open button to open the CD lid, a 'backwards button' followed by a forwards button, both of course for CD playback, a small LCD screen in the middle displaying the current track number (including which audio track it's currently playing in-game), as well as displaying 'Access' when it's loading. Following this we have a Play/Pause button and a Stop button, again both for CD playback, and a small blue reset button.

| − | The unit itself apparently came packaged with a 6-button controller, a power adaptor, a Red-White-Yellow style A/V cable (probably an RF cable in Europe), along with the Sega Classics 5in1 pack (which contained Streets of Rage, Columns, Super Monaco GP, The Revenge of Shinobi and [[Golden Axe]]), [[Sonic CD]] and Ecco CD.
