Best way to tell a fake is to open it up and look at the chips (or lack of) inside. Usually the pirate carts have a glob instead of a chip, but some pirates do have chips too. Also, many times the Label will have a difference or not look as nice and glossy. Sometimes without being there in person to look at it, it might be hard to tell. Just make sure you can get a refund or have them pay to return it if you verify it is a pirate.

As far as getting them to work in a Genesis.

A good portion of them will work without a region switch. Some won't work because of region lockout - with those you can either install a region switch, or use a Game Genie.

The carts won't fit in a Genesis unless the cart slot is widened a bit which is pretty easy to do, it's similar to modding a SNES to play SFC games.

The X'Eye console a cart will fit in without any modification and will play games, but if it's got region lockout you'll still need a region switch or a Game Genie.

You don't have to widen your cart slot if you have a game genie, the game genie acts as sort of a pass through and oftentimes you don't even have to put in a code to make it work, you just hit start.

There is a master list of all the game genie codes to make all region locked games work.

Game Genies are cheap and easy to find on Ebay.

Sorry I don't know how to link to ebay properly, does it look real?

I meant Rockman Mega World obviously in the title my bad.

That cart is region locked. You will need to run a region switch mod OR a Game Genie with these codes:

For Japanese Version:

REBT-A6XL (Master Code)
CACA-AA4L
B31T-CA9C

I've been wanting to add that to my collection for some time. The repro for $45 looks tempting and it's NTSC-U

A lot of people claim to have been scammed by that guy, as far as I've read on different forums. Be cautious.

I've bought a few repros from electrochip, and a region/svideo modded X'eye from him. No issues.

I didn't scam anyone, I had some issues with hardware and was backlogged because of it. Everyone has received there games, I think 2 are still on there way to CANADA.

I don't remember getting a pm from you, though I could have deleted it before even looking at it, as I had to purge my inbox awhile back and I think some unread pm's were deleted. Sorry for not replying.

Good to know!

As I said, I'm just reporting what others have said. If you say it's all cleared up, then I'd have no worries with you. Always good to be cautious, of course.
