How to play japanese games on genesis?

[Black_Tiger]

Makes me wonder. Has anyone found game genie codes to make games play in Japanese? Even for games without a region lock and/or shape issue, it'd still be useful for those who can't mod.

Unfortunately, it's game-by-game codes, but the most popular games all have them.

i need to get around to getting me a copy of PUYO POP there, or whatever that version is called.

after all, last i checked, it can be had for peanuts on the BAY all day long.

if i'm not mistaken, it was the basis for that "DR. ROBOTNIK's MEAN-BEAN MACHINE" was it not?

BTW; is THUNDER FORCE IV region-locked? what about EX-RANZA? (RANGER-X)

i really want to add those to my collection, but EX-RANZA especially is fairly expensive and scarce as of recently.

i've a Genny GAME GENIE, however, so even if they're both regioned, i guess it's just a simple matter of tracking down their unlock codes?

No. My pic shows the puyo sequel.

Uhm that picture you still have the tabs that are supposed to prevent megadrive games from fitting. I'm not talking about uncomfortably forcing the game into a too tight spot, I mean fitting with room to spare.

Like SpaceFlea said, MK-84000A has a wider slot than the original 32X run.
