Hey all i have a gen model 1 that i put a switchless mod on. I had the guys over last night for a gaming night and my friend brought over his mega drive the chaos engine game and when i tried to play it i got the wont play on this system message. Even when i cycled through all the diffrent settings on my console. Now if my system is modded it should play this game right? Or what could i do to get it to play? Thanks Scott
That's the inherent problem with a switchless mod. The console resets when trying to switch a region locked game and thus resetting the region checking part of the ROM. I use a switch on mine and when I get a PAL game, I start there and once the lockout has passed, switch to NTSC. Works every time for me. Granted I now have a switch hanging off the side but seeing as this 1 switch selects all 4 possible regions I'm not complaining. It is a revision 2 model 3 NTSC unit I did this too.
Yeah less pretty, but two switches is most convenient for the power user. In game control between all four modes.
cool thanks for the remarks. So i guess ill try putting a switch on to go through the modes. Lum you said 4 modes? Are you talking about 50 60 htz and PAL and NTSC or is there others that im not aware of. Scott
The modes are: 50 htz with English 60 htz with English 50 htz with Japanese 60 htz with Japanese That idea was based on Master System. So gen applies them to SMS games also.
