Sega Mega Drive Game Decoder ????

**pimpbot1976** · 07-31-2003, 03:12 AM

Does anybody have any info on this strange little thing? I have no friggin' clue what it is used for? It is a little black box about the size of a Genesis cart and it has three sections of tiny little switches on the back of it. On the back there is also a place to plug a Megadrive cart into it.

HELP

Sounds like a convertor to me, but with a port for something on it.

I don't have my digi cam right now but when I get it back I will put up some pix of it.

I believe it is for playing any region's game on any region's system

I am thinking about selling this little thing on ebay but I have no info on it really.

What should I give as a description and what should I be asking for it?

Thanks

Hmm, that's a strange one. Unlike the SNES, there's no need to piggy-back a cart in a converter to get round region-locked games on a MD/Genesis.
Perhaps it's also a Japanese Game Genie-style device? or has a Master System converter built in? Just guessing, mind.

It only cost me like $3. So whatever it might be it was cheap.
