Master System Converter question

[Coldguy]

Hi all, just was wonder if the master system converter would work for the Genesis 2, I know it does on the first model but there is no information on the second.

Yes it will, it simply doesn't fit due to its shape. Chop some plastic off (or remove the boards from the Power Base Converter) and you're set. I chopped mine up to work with my JVC X'Eye, no problems at all.

The one sold on Brasil do work on SEGA Genesis 2 and SEGA Genesis CDX ... Or you could get one of those "Mega Master" and "Master Mega" adapters that only has the pause/start button and can not play card games or use 3D Glasses .

^ What he said. The official Sega version for the Genesis 2 is hard to find, I don't think it was released in the USA. The Master Mega converter is the same shape as a regular Genesis cart and will fit.

^^ how much do the Mega Master sell's for...

Tototek also sells their own SMS converters, which will fit on a Genesis 2, but it can't take cards. Sega released a Power Base Converter 2 in Europe, which also doesn't take cards. And Datel made a third-party adapter, which again, doesn't take cards.

Again, just take a Power Base Converter out of it's case, it will then fit and will work...



You can also chop down the case until it fits (which I did eventually) but just taking the PBC boards out of the case is the cheapest way. It will also retain compatiblity with Sega Cards.

But then you have exposed circuits! They'll get all dusty and stuff.

I'll just simplify.

Yes, as well as it does with the Model 1.
