List of SD card hack, carts, alternative replacements to CD drive.

Well I looked into it and not quite. The game gear is *slightly* more powerful than the master system.... it's like in-between that and a genesis. It IS theoretically possible to patch any gg game to work on master system, but it isn't a walk in the park.

So close, I have a GG Master Gear Converter and two Sega Mega Drives. I assumed the all the games would move up the chain. How many GG games are hack/patched to work?

Didn't notice the Gotek drives getting a mention, useful for those older disk based systems. I have one in my Super Wild Card SNES copier these days (and one in my Amiga 500 but this is a consoles thread) as seen here http://www.mameau.com/gotek-drive-setup-for-super-wild-card/
There is also a pretty sketchy hdd hack available for the Dr. V64 (N64 copier) but its not for the light hearted. http://emuconsoleexploitnews.blogspot.com.au/2010/05/doctor-v64-hddcf-bios-upgrade.html
The PS2 harddrive IDE hack required a PS2 Fat model and PS2 network adapter, works very well. As I recall USB support was added later in USBLoader and OpenPS2Loader but compatibility was never great may have improved these days.
There is also the entire line of Tototek products, I have one for my SMD which works well enough but its an old style flashcart and in this day and age is annoying to use. So I rarely bother http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php
SDLoad exists for the gamecube but requires a SDGekko card
Howard_Casto:
I always thought the sd-based solutions for disc based systems were interesting, but the high cost large sd cards always killed it for me. I wonder if there is a way to adapt a hard drive to a sd card.... obviously some kind of cable would have to be made but we've all got a million of those micro to standard sized sd adaptors that comes with the cards.

The ones on that site I linked to basically. Remember though that 90% of the game gear library is just ports of master system games... so just run the master system versions and cut out the middle man. I think there are only about 100 unique game gear games.
I was looking on ebay/amazon though and man are gg carts cheap.... most are 1-2 dollars. If I could only find a vendor that would cut me a deal on the shipping to make it worth it. It's very much like collecting common nes games, quite frustrating.
