CAN YOU PLAY IMPORTS ON A SEGA GENESIS MODEL 2

[diggy_dawg]

I HAVE A SEGA GENESIS MODEL 2! I HAVE THE SAILOR MOON GAME FOR THE MEGADRIVE SYSTEM! I DON'T HAVE A CONVERTER... BUT I HERED THERE IS A WAY TO BREAK OR REPLACE OR DISLOCK SOMETHING IN THE SEGA GENESIS MODEL 2!! CAN SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME!!!

First off, calm down. You do realize all caps means you're shouting, don't you? And all those exclaimation marks don't help. Second, I've never heard of such a thing. I wish it were true, but for some instinctual reason I doubt it.

you can chop the sides off the cartridges.

First off, here's a new caps lock key. Install it in good health :)

The only actual lockouts on the Genesis is the shape of the carts... the easiest way to overcome this without a specialized converter is to use a Game Geine or Action Replay... they serve as a converter and will run the cart even starting without codes.

A less elegant method is to remove the top of the case. The cars will work, but I wouldn't leave the top off permanently with dust and all.

or there's the brutal method - cut out the area on the case directly above the cart slot and just insert.

Personally, if you have a lot of Japanese games, grab a Game Geine. I picked one up the other day at Gamestop for 99 cents :)
