I suppose if I ever fix stereo sound I could do that while I was at it. I don't use my Gen 3 very often.ApolloBoy wrote: It's a super-easy mod though, just a single wire on both revisions of the Gen 3.

Re: Genesis games have region codes? Compatible?
There's also the Honey Bee Converter out there for Genesis importing on those carts that are region-coded.

Re: Genesis games have region codes? Compatible?
Genesis regions are based on the Master System and will take effect when using Power Base Converter. There's four possible settings for standard Genesis models.
English + 60hz (US, Canada, Brazil, etc)
English + 50hz (Europe, Australia, parts of Asia)
Japanese + 60hz (Japan, Korea, parts of Asia)
Japanese + 50hz (unknown, it's sometimes said Sega didn't use this officially)
32X itself only checks the console's 50/60hz. Letting games use the console to determine language.
Most Sega CD units are region locked to load their BIOS only when a matching console is detected.
Genesis 3, Nomad, Wondermega, etc, were region exclusive models. So those by default must be modified to encounter any other mode.
