It's a radica. google it. He then desoldered the built in ROM chip, and replaced it with a cartrdige slot. Basically he just made it so he could insert and remove different ROM chips easily, since that's all the cartridges are :P

Ben bought a cart slot from Digikey, I dont remember the product number but you can find it by searching through the threads Ben has made when he was building the thing.

The alternitive is to find someone that has a broken Genesis or if you dont like yours get the cart slot from it.

Or you can buy a Game Genie from a pawn shop and cut the slot off of it.
