+== INTRODUCTION ==
 It's been years I wanted to create this page in the wiki. The original mod, as far as I know, showed up in the site [[http://segakore.fr/articles/switch_32x.php|Sega Kore (French language)]]. All credits go to them/the guy who invented the fire.

 This said, for having total compatibility over your system, you will need to mod both your Mega Drive/Genesis __AND__ the 32X itself. [[http://www.gamesx.com/importmod/gen2import.htm|Follow the other guide for Mega Drive/Genesis mod.]]
+This is because the 32X is a slave hardware that will mix its own AV processed data coming from MD. That said, a PAL 32X will expect the MD to output PAL 50Hz, wheter the NTSC will expect NTSC 60Hz.
+== IMPORTANT ==
+It should be noted that some games won't boot correctly even with the entire system modded.
+== THE MOD ==
+The mod consist of just getting rid of a 0 Ohm resistor which locks the logic level on pin 17 for the Sega 315 - xxxx IC. This 0 Ohm is just a jumper (in case you're wondering what 0 Ohm is for).
+The resistor is labeled R42 in NTSC 32X and R43 in PAL 32X.
+All you have to do is to solder 2 wires out of the empty pads (corresponding to R42 place in PAL system, R43 in NTSC system) and wire them to a SPST/SPDT of your choice.
+Refer to the images from [[http://segakore.fr/articles/switch_32x.php|Sega Kore]] for now
