All that aside this is cool to know as I have a CDX, I do NOT have the Power Base Converter as I have an actual Sega Master System but it will be cool if I get one to know I can do this.
From my understanding the Genesis hardware itself is capable of running SMS games, the power base converter merely aligns the pins properly like an adapter to run famicom games on a nes. There is no actually chip or electronics to run the SMS games. So plugging the PBS into your CDX is like plugging in an actual cartridge but one that contains no actual game or program until of course you add an actual SMS cart or card.
Its just like a sega cd model 2 where if you have a sega game inserted then the sega cd doesn't work, same deal, different system.

You can't run any of the sega cd systems when the power base converter is plugged in
