This may not be possible... but an interesting idea, would be to make Sega Master system carts, inside of a Genesis cart.. where the converter is built into the cart. That way, you could play SMS games, without the need to pop in the converter. I think the Power Base Converter, is just a different wiring pinout. The most challenging cart, would be a way to incorporate the 3D glasses adapter. |

It’s possible but SEGA Master used mapper chips and such that Genesis didn't. I spent a lot of time researching it. You can get a universal sms cart for $20, and a converter for $20. Or get a clone genesis everdrive for $20 that runs the roms. |

Have spit out a few more in the past few days. More games that didn’t originally come in EA cases. I’m actually getting very low on repro boards and SEGA shells. I need to make some decisions about how much further I’m taking this. Anyway, latest batch of EPROMs came pretty smashed. Now I’m scrapping away parts of the chips and soldering wires to tiny metal nubs to recreate broken chip legs. Even more hackery. That Crusader of Centy cart is actually running a SEGA pcb. The rom chips desolder very cleanly on them. So it’s some random sports pcb that’s been converted. New battery and filter cap, it will outlive Malenko. Dick Tracy is actually very good and violent as hell. I haven’t gotten very far but it’s interesting. I always thought the screenshots looked awesome but I never played it back in the day. Captain America is a decent port. It has a color palette hack. Oddly, despite the “going ape spit” cover art, Toki appears to just be Toki. Marvel Land is another one I never actually played until I made one. Haven’t gotten far but appears to be a good Super Mario rip off. El Viento is running some improvement hack. It’s another oddly good but weird game. :cheers: |

Centy looks amazing. I hated that all the bootleg covers had the sword vertical instead of horizontal, so I like mine better. Your Captain American label looks great, looks legit as heck. |
