Looks pretty nice. You should sell mod services to the forum.

hmm that's not a bad idea.... and to answer vlame's queastion, no they don't just fit, you need to widen the slot a bit for it to accept japanese MD carts, they have slightly wider shells than US or european carts

I just got me a mega drive of ebay, paid £15 for the console, leads, 6 games and the master system converter so it was a bit of a bargain anyway. Now when I open the parcel I notice that 2 of the games are the american releases, and it has the ext port on the back. I boot it up up and not only does it not have the TMSS message but it loads the genny carts as well. Is this an ultra early model that didnt have the region lockout? does such a thing exist or has it been modded internally? - there are no extra switches anywhere.

The console has quite a few marks and the cover for the Mega CD is missing but the cheap price and the ability to load american carts a bit of a bonus, from what I've seen they sell for less here since less people can play them. happy days

From what I heard, many of the earlier games don't have region lock, just physical incompatibility.

ahhh I see. Yeah the genesis games I got are Devilish, The Immortal and Carmen Sandiego so I guess they qualify as early then. Thanks
