Megadrive vs Genesis Cart Shell?
Super Random but are the PCB boards on the inside of the Japanese Megadrive and the North American Genesis the same size?

Basically i want to know if i can switch the cart shell on these. I don't have any Megadrive games to test this.


Thanks!  ;D

Yes.  A friend of mine gave me his old Genesis games and one of them was a JP Batman game in a US Altered Beast shell.

Yeah, Genesis/Mega Drive PCB's to my knowledge are virtually all the same no matter the region. Region locking was all done through the roms.

Swap away my friend! ;)
