if you want a well built machine you buy model 1, if you want compatibilty you buy model 2.

I havn't got to use the model 1 much, so I can't really comment on it.
I have a Model 2 and I've never had any problems with it. I've also been able to easily modify it to read CDRWs, and I'm unsure if the Model 1 can do this.

I have a model 1 sega CD, and Mortal Kombat CD (found it for .69 at a thrift store). MK plays perfectly fine on it. In fact, the load times are far less than I'd have thought reading the reviews.

stef even encountered problems with mortal kombat on gens,
i think he said it was down to poor coding generaly.

Yeah i paid dearly for the model 1 but it is well worth it. It just looks cooler and is veru stable. Took a 10 foot fall on to a concrete floor one time and still works like a charm. Current console makers could learn a lot from the old stuff.
Once when I had my model 2 apart I dropped the drive component about 5 feet. It landed on kitchen tile, bounced and rolled another 5 feet. Luckily it also works great, and I'm damn lucky I didn't bust the laser lens.
I have both models and find myself using the the megacd 1 the most, cause it allows me to have it kept in a tight cabinet (unless i hook up the 32X to it)thanks to the front loading tray. I also have had no trouble with games such as Mortal Kombat or with games on CDR's.
The only trouble i have with my model 1 Megacd/Megadrive is that i get no audio when attaching my 32X to it. When i want to play 32X games i need to attach it to my model 2 Megacd/Megadrive to enjoy audio when playing.

I recently tried Lunar Silver Star in my Model 2. It loads fine, and then gets to the title screen, and then it hangs at a black screen.
racketboy, is this the problem you mentinoed with the model 2 and lunar?
Is there a way around it?
BTW, my bios number is 2.00

I would like to correct myself.
I had a bad copy.
I recently got a different copy and the game works great!
I have already played about half an hour and it plays fine.
Lunar Eternal Blue runs fine on my Model 2 but Lunar Silver Star Story just hangs at the menu screen and I have had every rip of it possible... even a DIRECT COPY! I dont know maybe its just my segacd :-/ Every other game runs fine.
I am going to buy a Model 1 and try that.
