Hello everyone! first post here. I am a huge Sega fan and I have a question regarding the megacart (I did a lot of research online and couldn't find any info on this setup) :
Can the Megacart allow me to play retail jp MegaCD games on a jp MegaCD(model 1, stock) hooked up to a US Genesis(model 1, stock)?
Right now, the Mega CD doesn't work at all. It won't even boot up. When I power it on it goes straight to a blue screen saying "This is an NTSC compatible Mega-CD for exclusive use in Japan and South East Asia". Tray won't open either(but then again, this is a "junk" unit, so maybe that's why my unit won't open. Still, from what I've read, it's not supposed to open when this message displays. So I have to find a way to get past this lockout).
So basically, my Mega-CD locks when detecting an american Genesis hooked up to it and won't boot. But since the Mega Cart allows to play japanese Mega CD games on an all-american system, I was wondering if it what possible to use the Mega Cart to unlock my setup.
Supposedly, a region mod would allow me to use my jp Mega-CD with my Genesis to play japanese Mega-CD games, but I don't want to mod my Genny Hence why I'm trying to figure out if I can use the Mega Cart to unlock my Mega-CD instead of a mod. |
