Hi there, I have recently bought an Asian Megadrive II (PAL version), after owning a Japanese Megadrive for many years I decided to relive some of my youth by getting hold of what I was led to believe was another Jap model, only to find out that my new machine is actually essentially a UK Megadrive in Japanese clothing!
Now that I have the machine I have been trying to run some games on it and after having success with most things I have hit a brick wall with four of my purchases and was wondering if anybody on this forum has tried the same games successfully with either an Asian model or a UK one with a Japanese converter attached.
The games are a Brazilian (Tec Toy) version of Mortal Kombat III, which just comes up as NTSC only on the screen, a Japanese Sailor Moon which says is only authorized for use in Japan, and Japanese versions of Alex Kidd and Wonderboy V, which both do absolutely nothing after the boot-up screen.
I would be especially interested to know if anybody has had the last two working with the use of a Japanese Converter because I can't work out whether they are incompatible or just faulty carts, although the Wonderboy one was brand new and sealed so that is fairly unlikely.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
