Technical Facts

• The 32X add-on came with twin Hitachi SH2 32-bit RISC processors running at 23 MHz, a further 512K of RAM, allowed up to 32,768 colours on-screen simultaneously with 50,000 polygons per second, a stereo PCM audio chip in combination with the existing 12 channels in the standard unit.

Trivia

• A total of 31 cartridge-based games and 5 Sega CD-based games supported the 32X add-on. Most of these were written by Sega, or were colour-enhanced versions of existing titles.
• At the time of releasing the 32X add-on, no games were available that could use it. Instead, Sega offered coupons to buyers for future 32X games!
