Yoshiatom Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm copy-pasting this topic from another forum (since I'm getting a grand total of zero responses), hope you guys don't mind... I’m having a hard time finding Mega Drive accesorys at reasonable prices.I’ve recently been looking for a model 1 Master System Converter, but the cheapest one I can find is £30.The Sega 32X is even worse in this regard, dispite Mark mentioning how it could be picked ip cheaply, the cheapest one I could find was £100! Could you guys throw me some pointers on where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeWantWaffles Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 After quite a while of browsing, this is the cheapest master system converter I have found: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEGA-MASTER-SYSTEM-CONVERTER-FACE-HUGGER-VERSION-FOR-MEGA-DRIVE-/201394259811 I don't think it's going to last for much longer! ..and I doubt it's getting any cheaper I'm sorry about the 32X, but that piece of hardware went from expensive to 10$ about a year after its release .. Too bad they gotta jack up the price so much as usual - greedy jerks. The cheapest I have found was American NTSC for 38$ on amazon ..

They should be the same device with just different logos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeWantWaffles Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) I'm not 100% sure how reliable it is, but from what I've found online (without much detail I fear).. - you can put 32X on any region genesis - the 32X isn't region locked, but uses the genesis/megadrive region it's mounted to If you have a region switch, the boot-up screen goes from japanese to american. Wasn't tested for pal though. EDIT: Some other site says that US games occasionally get japanese voices if the genesis is region switched to JP.. and one person had to mod their 32X to play PAL games. So the answer is no I guess! Not overly reliable. I'm glad I'm just importing american stuff and leaving it at that. Edited July 26, 2015 by WeWantWaffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 How about the SMS convertor? 99% of the games worked on both PAL and NTSC. I actually have one of those devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
