Power Base Mini FM on Wondermega Does it Work?

Does ANYone here that has a Victor or Sega Wondermega and a Powerbase Mini FM cartridge from dbElectronics/StoneAge Gamer, does anyone know if the cart works on the Wondermega console?

I don't wish to buy one only to find out it doesn't work.

 

aren't the Multimega and wonder mega the same pcb?

 

I have no idea. I'm not knowledge in such electronics

 

Wondermega is quite bulky, Multi-Mega = Genesis CDX = small portable thing - a bit bigger than early portable CD player (in fact it IS a CD player) = a huge difference in size and PCBs are completely different. Just type console names in Google pictures and you'll see.

 

My bad I had them confused, I was thinking of the X-EYE..

 

Wondermega2 and X'Eye are the same device.

Wondermega1 has the same kind of chipset you see on CDX even though the physical design is different. Wondermega1 also have a "SONY CD drive" while Wondermega 2/X'Eye have the newer kind of CD drive. (So due to that they happen to have different BIOSes with not just cosmetic differences.)

Wondermega2 and X'Eye BIOSes are "identically functional" besides programming changes needed by regional lockout and cosmetic differences.

I mean basic internal functionally is identical.

Now, about the FM cartridge, the audio circuitry for the cart slot is standard on all of those units. I don't see why it wouldn't work on any of them.

 

hmm. yeah I hope that IF I buy a Power Base Mini FM, that it works on a Model 1 Victor Megadrive. If I buy one and it doesn't work, then that would leave me with trying to sell it in a Sega games related FB group or something.
