Just got a mega everdrive. It supports master system games in addition to genesis. I honestly dont think I've ever even seen a master system in real life.

Can I get a quick rundown on what's worth playing on it?

>> No.3872528

I am one of the few people who had a friend with a master system and it was pretty surreal. This was in the mid 90's and we would sometimes play it when we were bored with SNES and Genesis.

The only games I can personally remember that were worth playing were the Wonder Boy series and Choplifter.

I had no idea that you could play SMS on a Genesis with a everdrive. Downloading a SMS ROM pack now!


For the record, and the OP's request, check out Power Strike 1 and 2. Also Master of Darkness.

-Sonic bows to Wonder Boy
-In contact with Alien Syndrome
-Possess Spellcaster-like abilities
-Master of Darkness with an iron but fair fist
-Owns Golvellius & Best version of Pitfall 2 globally
-Direct descendants of the SC-X000 with most roms compatible
-Will bankroll the first console RPGs (Phantasy Star will blow DQ & FF away)
-Own 99% of Alex Kidd titles on Earth
-First Ghostbusters game was in all likelihood Master System game
-All SC series consoles said to have blast processing, such power on Earth has only existed deep in technical universities & Area 51
-Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them (pic related)
-They own Shinobi and Space Harrier around the world
-You likely have Strider inside you right now
-Ultima IV is in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to Miracle Warriors. Who do you think set up the meeting between Kongo Bongo & Flicky (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years)?
-They learned fluent Prince of Persia in under a week
-Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the Master System. There’s no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Out-Run 3D
-The SC series is about 4 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society
-In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they’re benevolent beings.

Btw some SMS games need an actual SMS controller to work on the everdrive. There are patched ROMs out there though that'll work with the genesis controller. I ran into that problem when trying to play wonder boy in monster land on my everdrive.

I grew up between the second and fifth generations, Anon. Genesis / MD unfortunately didn't have much to offer outside of platformers. RPGs were especially few in number. That isn't to say that some of my favorite games aren't Genesis titles though.

That was true when using the MS Powerbase Converter too so that's more a fault with the Genesis than the Everdrive. Most games work fine with a Genesis controller though.

It's nothing you'll need to super precise with.
This is easily doable by a beginner.
I guess there might be a program to hardpatch codes into ROMs but since you have an everdrive and that also supports codes maybe have a look at this:

They're minor European (German?) TV personalities who obtained advanced physics degrees under dubious academics. One of them was granted a doctorate based on a thesis that is so theoretical it's still being debated re: if it's nonsense or not. They also have a plastic surgery addiction.

You're welcome.
If you don't always want to re-enter the codes for locked games you can also make txt files for each game with the needed code in it.
You can then select the needed textfile from the everdrive menu and load the cheats directly.

Interesting, well I only need to retype de code if I overwrite by loading anothe game, it saves the cheats even if I turn off the console. But I'll make the txt files for every game that have region lock so I wont bother typing codes. Thanks again
