It hardly works well. The resolution of the screen is horrible enough as it is, when you use the master gear converter, the resolution is even worse than Game Gear games. Often, I can't even read the text of the games.
You'd be better off playing master system games on a GP32X or something.
Low resolution is the nature of all the old portables. Lynx, Game Gear, Gameboy. You play them all nowadays, you have to put ClearEyes in your sockets to see anything.
yeah the one in the review is from nubytech. A few companies made them, the most common is the one made by sega though. No difference in functionality.
With this one you insert the cartridge into the slot above the extension port going into the Master Gear converter, while the Sega brand Master Gear Converter fit behind the Game Gear only sticking upward with the front part of the cartridge sticking out facing the Game Gear while the Game Gear cartridge expansion fits into the Game Gear's cartridge point.
I think that's how it works.
Thank you, I am most sorry about the comment I left before.
They had a thing called the PowerBase Converter for the Genesis which let you play MS games on your Genesis, I also think it's cool that Nintendo is putting up MS games on the Wii VC, I never had one growing up, so I'm playing them for the first time.
mine is unfortunantley broken I don't know why but it just won't start anymore everytime i turn it on the light comes on for 1 second and then fades away.
i love going to my orthidontist because in the lobby she has 2 game gears and a lot of games. i am pretty lucky for the opportunity to use one because i was not born in the age of game boy and game gear.
I had one and it was way better then Game Boy.

It doesn't play the cards or the games that needed the SMS Light Phaser.

No, it does not add the entire SEGA MASTER library. This doesn't allow you to play game cards.

I got a master gear converter 2 it's pouch shaped and screws on to the game gear itself.
zeldajunkielol2 2 years ago
My converter was like that too. This guy has some kind of horrible black market one.

it works well though.

The game gear is known for having bad resolution so this is no surprise.

but the gamegear's graphics are a bit blurry.

Nice little review thingie but his opinion on the Game Gear is total BS, as the Sega Game Gear totally kicked ass.

I don't understand, how come when I look at the item on other websites the product looks entirely different from the Master Gear Converter on here?

So it is entirely cosmetic?
