Product Description

SEGA Genesis 2 (US) / Megadrive 2 (EU) - Total Case Replacement Project
Neptune Reset Button Only - Revision 1

Create your very own version of SEGA's Unreleased Console, the SEGA Neptune, or Genesis 32X System as it was known in the US.

Originally conceived as a Genesis and 32X system combined into one sleek looking package, it unfortunately never saw the light of day. So my goal is to bring this amazing system back to life by providing a replacement shell that can be swapped with a standard US or EU Genesis/Megadrive 2*.

Simply unscrew your existing Genesis 2 console (preferably one that has been damaged externally) and replace the below listed parts with my new 3D printed offerings to turn your console into a Neptune.

This reset button is designed to interface only with the new DVIZIX Neptune Top Shell in addition to the Neptune reset button attachment. To combine the button and the button attachment you will require an M3x8 phillips pan head tap screw.

*** DISCLAIMER ***

This is a passion project designed by hobbyists for hobbyists. All dimensions have been scaled by me using an EU model Megadrive 2 and as such details and quality will depend greatly on the material chosen.
This is designed to be a shell replacement for a Genesis/Megadrive 2 and as such will continue to function as a Genesis/Megadrive 2 only.
Although this is designed to replicate the Neptune as can best be obtained by images and video of the prototype, the placement of ports, buttons, size and thickness of the console is still dictated by the Genesis 2’s integrated components and therefore a complete imitation of the system cannot be achieved.
To integrate a working 32X system within this replacement shell would require the expertise of others with all the associated risks involved.
The current revision of this Neptune shell is designed to be a replacement for the "push down" on/off button system, not the "left/right" switch action button that is used on the Japanese version.
Please DO NOT throw away your old Genesis/Megadrive 2 shell. Any examples of these amazing old systems should be preserved and enjoyed hence my goal to create a console that is as easy to modify as it is to revert back to its original form without any destructive methods.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated to further improve the shell design for future revisions.

Happy Modding!
