Hi all, really i'm just showing off now so I thought i'd provide some pics of my Mega CD setup
The Genesis is fitted with the switchless pic chip and this also controls switching of the MegaCD & 32x. The MegaCD has a multibios chip and switches with the machine to the corresponding bios. The 32x has also been modded to get its region setting from the main console. This was achieved by adding a wire from the pic to pin 1 of the video connector and then a wire from pin 6 of the AV In (32x) to the region select pads. Excuse the dirt/dust, it needs a clean.
So we have a UK Pal MegaCD Mark 1, US Genesis Mark 1 & US 32x Mark 1.

I have also performed the same modifications to my Megadrive II & MegaCD II combo.
