Question about Japanese Mega Drive

Post by evil_ash_xero »

OK, so you have to have the slot widened to play Japanese games on a Genesis....so, does that mean that you can play U.S. games on a JP Mega Drive without chopping the slot up?

And yeah, I know you still would have to put the region switch in it.

Yeah, I know. it's just some of the later ones.

But you could put a Genesis cart into a MD without modding the slot?

If cartridge fits and you have a switch mod.... Any region game will work on the MD.
