$75


It's bad enough that the hardware is already inside Genesis but you need this device to attach your SMS games to it, but people are selling it like it's a whole system.

that accessory is not too common to my knowledge....

there's also 3rd party made accessories of this http://cgi.ebay.com/PRO-MEGAMASTER-M...mZ140318802559

equally overpriced

Ebay sucks. I always seem to get outbid in the last few seconds. I feel like kicking the computer. Nobody bids for 7 days yet with 10 seconds to go I'm outbid.

If they want to overprice their items they can keep them. People aren't stupid.

I've got a MegaMaster. It's a brilliant bit of kit, but the Pause button is on the side of the cart - so when you press it, it wiggles the entire assembly a little, which of course crashes the game.

Thing is they are selling for £50 on ebay surprisingly, just look at completed auctions, its crazy.

Get one from Tototek.

I was actually just about to link to Tototek, but I couldn't find the converter on their page Hopefully it's still available, I recall it costing about $35, which isn't bad.

I still have to write a looooooooong overdue review of it.

Only on the old page, it seems.

I see what you're doing Zebbe, you're trying to make me look like a liar!

It's only $20! And all region. Besides an actual MS (with card and 3d glasses support), you probably can't beat this converter. Like I said, review coming! Someday...

[gamegenie]

Thanks for the find Zebbe.

BTW, here's a good deal on a AV cable for the Genesis 1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=310140612835

But doesn't the original Power Base Converter have cart and 3D Glasses support?

I guess if you're a big fan of the Genesis II model, you're a collector, or you're in Europe or Brazil this would be worth getting, but for anyone else it's much easier to buy the original Power Base Converter (A store near me has one for a mere $30 boxed) and a Hi-Definition Graphics Model 1, and you can get all that for about $40, cheaper than the Power Base II converter.

Fuck Tototek

I got the Honey Bee Adapter with the Power Base Converter

[ooXxXoo]

I have the Master Converter II....Even though, it is usually overpriced every where, it is still an oficial Sega product....I love mine, It is not cheaply made like most third patty converters, quite heavy too...
