Will a mega drive game genie work on a genesis?
-
Will Rockman Mega World work on a US console with the Game Genie?

I heard the japanese megadrive had an extra or better sound chip , do you notice any sound difference from the 1601 original genesis ?
-
And it's pretty interesting, considering that Sega didn't block off the circuit board schematics -- at least on the Mega Drive 1 that I have.
-
i really think that the speed differance is over hyped as there is a slight difference but only slight imho, how about playing NTSC on a PAL console ? does that work?
-
@MN12BIRD well I don't know what you mean about not all games...but look I have a brazilian megadrive made by tectoy that is a genesis with colours system changed to pal and I can play any North american games or japanese through super/mega-key and works perfect with no slowdown I don't know if brazilian games has lockout-region!

One example of a PAL MD game that was pre-optimized was: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

@nikirfan Always input it.

Thanks for the links. but I was looking for a code to play puyo puyo on a american genesis. I'll try the codes for my other games.

Do you have any codes to play Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (US version) on a JP Mega Drive?
What do you mean by playing PAL on an American system? Does that even work, considering the difference in refresh rate?

Works fine. I think it depends on the game and what region it was optimized for. Many games run slower on PAL machines so they are optimized for 60hz anyway. I guess its possible for some games to run too fast on these? Not sure but all the PAL games I have work fine on my NTSC systems. I have some PAL SMS games and a few PAL MD games that work fine.

Not all games do that right? I have a couple of Gen games and they play just fine on my system. Well, maybe a bit slower, but let's just say I don't know any better lol.

No not all games do it. From what I hear most before 1992-1993 don't, most after than do.

Dude where did you get that version of the game genie? I have the golden one and some codes didn't work for some games.

I dunno I've always seen this black one around here and on the internet. I don't think I've ever seen a golden one! I guess they changed it and had a few versions of it?
