Use GG Games in The SMS?

[cLoCk]

Ciao,

is there any tricks to use GG Games with the Master system?
i mean mod/hack the rom inside the gg cart & adapt into a MS cart..


image if you can play games like gunstar heroes, Arena: Maze of Death, Panzer Dragoon Mini etc. etc.

i know, i'm a dreamer!

;D

It would be great, but the Game Gear uses a larger color palette than the Master System, so while it is easy to convert Master System games to the Game Gear, the opposite is sadly not the case!

so you mean thats hard to realise but is'nt impossible..

great! i love that kind of challenge!

Indeed.

There's a thread about doing this in the "development" sub-forum, I think. I'm sure there'll be even more discussion of it over on SMS Power!, too.

Why not just add a TV out and a pad port to a Game Gear? It's still not easy but it is certainly do-able. The pad port is quite easy to do but works better with an MD pad as it has the extra button required for the GG controls. I added an extra button to my SMS console to get round this problem when I did my GG/SMS hybrid console. I may still add a TV connector to it so I can play GG games on the TV as well as SMS games on it. You can see the extra button in this pic, just to the side of the cart slot:

That thing is awesome. Needs a paint job, bad, though, and then you've got the Cadillac of mod consoles!

This is a recurrent topic. Unfortunately it is not possible on a vanilla SMS it would require really complex hardware hacking. More easy (relatively speaking) is to hack games on a case by case basis, but losing on color fidelity. It takes long hacking time and good skills to do that thought. See Chris Covell work on this.

I'm sorry I don't have many good links. It is kind of tricky to find a keyword to search for on this matter.
