Can You Use A Master System Gun on Genesis?

Post by BurningDoom »

Can You Use A Master System Gun on Genesis? I know that the controller ports are the same, but will it actually function as it should?

I think it'll work for SMS light gun games if you use a power base converter.

Don't know if it'll work with games that use the enforcer, but i'd imagine it would.

I doubt it would work with most Genesis games. The only reason I say that is because I have two light-gun games - Lethal Enforcers and Corpse Killer for 32X CD. Corpse Killer doesn't work with the Justifier and I want to say that Lethal Enforcers might *only* work with the Justifier.

So even within the selection of Genesis light guns, you don't have full compatibility. I've never tried it though.

It works for SMS games that use it, but you can't use it as a substitute for the Menacer or Justifier.

Thanks for the answers, guys. Guess I'll be getting The Justifier.

I'm pretty sure the Justifier only works on the Lethal Enforcer games. So keep that in mind.

Oh right. But still, Konami games only.

Why can't they just make all light guns work for all light gun games? Geeze.
