How to play Mega Drive (PAL) games in the USA ?
(1/3) > >>
akuma632:
I just got a Mega Drive game that's in PAL format. I can not get the game to play on my USA Genesis or my Retron 3, all that comes up is a message telling me it needs to be played on a PAL system. What can I do? I don't want to buy a PAL if I have a Genesis and I thought the Retron 3 would play it but no dice.

Anyone have any ideas please?

Region mod your console with a region and 50/60Hz switch.

It's actually one of the easier region mods to do as well.

That looks simple, but I already have PAL and JAP MD1 and MCD 2 and PAL 32-X.  ;)

Altough I might MOD my JAP consoles so I can play all games on them.
launchpad:
I know you can play Japanese MD games in a US Genesis when you hook them up thru a Game Genie.  At least the Mega Drive games I have you can.  I've never tried a PAL MD game though.  If I have any PAL Mega Drive games I'll try it out and let you know.
