Mega Cd Problems

[Boil'em'Mash'emStick]

Hi, I know this is a bit off topic, (hence off topic board) but today i bought a mega drive II and a mega cd II with some games for £15, (sweeeet). I plug both the power packs in , one for the mega drive and one for the mega cd, then I switch both on, but when I turn the mega drive power switch on, the mega drive turns on as if the mega cd wasn't even there! I see no signs of life from the mega cd. Any suggestions? I bought the mega cd in the hopes of playing sonic cd on it. Not the crappy pc port. There is no cartridge in the mega drive slot, and i put a cd in the mega cd.
P.S i also bought freedom fighters for pc for £1!

Is there a good emulator of the system you can recomend?

The mega cd is emulated pretty much perfectly with GENS, but i think you need an original cd, or a copy. You have to download some bios files, then put a cd in and click file>boot cd. Also, Snatcher is supposed to be pretty good because it was made by Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear)

CRAP! I just opened up my mega cd, and the motherboard on the PAL versions must be different from the ones on the only guide I could find, because I don't know which ones the fuse!
