The Sega Genesis 'Tower of Power' How high can it actually go?

[SparTonberry]

I just tried and, as said before, a regular Genesis cart won't fit in the PBC as it has a larger pin connector than Master System games.
So I presume a 32X won't fit either (but I don't own one to test).

Does this mean some enterprising individual has at one point tried to make a mini Power Base Converter?

Stone Age Gamer sells mini power base converters right now.

Not only that, Sega themselves made one, due to the fact that the original Power Base Converter won't fit on a model 2 system. But they only sold it in Europe (and maybe South America?):



Plus similar third-party ones from Datel, HES, etc.

Gee, I knew it used the Genesis Z80, but the Power Base Converter is so bulky that I always thought there was more to it than that.

If "mini power base converter" means "took a hacksaw to the stupid, pointless plastic tab on the back which kept it from fitting on my model 2 Genesis", then yes, yes I have made a mini power base converter.
