Master system modding

[martinlaw]

hello, is there in the forum any post whit modifications for the master system??? (the HZ, the pause button in the pad, etc etc....)

I'm interested, and I remember a post, but I haven't found it.....


And another question. I have read that the Japanese master system hasn't got BIOS, and that you can play on it PAL games and USA games.... is that true?? (I don't believe it) And in the same page, put that if you disconect the BIOS of your master system pal yo will be able to play JAP games.... (I don't believe that, because a JAP game don't enter in the PAL console)


THANKS!!

Japanese consoles certainly do have a Bios chip in them.

US and Euro games will play on a Jap console with a cartrdige pin adaptor - like the ones Bock made. Japanese games wont play on a US/Euro system because the consoles Bios expects games to have header data, which Japanese games dont have. You can put a Japanese Bios in a US or Euro console and then you can play Jap card games. You could play cartridges if you manage to put a Jap cart slot in - hell of a lot of fiddly wires to solder up to do that though which is why i never did that.

I actually had a go at transplating a card slot into a smsII, didnt work though. I gave up after that dissapointment
