this product is just amazing!! The unit they revied here is probably the first ones (july/august batch). I bought mine from somewhere else (not play-asia) and it plays all games flawless!! The cartridge slot is bang on and it even works with the power base converter to play master system games (even the JAP and NTSC USA ones!!)

I am planning on starting my own site dedicated to this console alone… watch this space!!

I would assume it will not work with the Power Base Converter and 32X, because they use the cartridge slot which is unreliable, but the light guns should be fine, because the controller ports are the same. The question becomes whether the game that uses the light gun will work in the cartridge slot, because so little does.

Well i was googling up about a pocket version i got of this thing & to my surprise theres a version with inbuilt cartrige slot .
Its a nice feature but this one here got one game diffence ad copaired to the pocket version .
Your one in your review got Sonic Spinball but the pocket version got Ristar .

While not worried about missing SpinBall as i got that on Virtual Console .
This isa nice product & the same as the pocket MegaDrive .

Im glade that the local Gametraders do get inports from time to time .

I would be wondering if this can be compatible with the 32x Power Base converter & the light guns as well .

Some IR controllers for Genesis/Megadrive apparently require a specific spacing between the controller ports on the system. These controller ports are centered on a point 64mm apart, compared to 32mm apart on the Genesis 2. I don’t have a Genesis 1 to compare.
