Game Gear => Genesis

I know that you can play SMS games on a Genesis through a power base converter but, I was wondering if the same would be possible for Game Gear Games? The SMS and the Game Gear have the hardware but the Game Gear has a bigger color pallete. I'm just wondering what you guys think.

I want to play Game Gear Games on a Genesis so is it possible??

Yes you can its called the master gear. For a pic go to doomportables and look under alternitives its at the bottem. Their also on ebay.

No, I meant Game Gear Games on a Genesis.

Well you can try to make a converter by combining the master gear and the power base. Wouldnt be the most eye pleasing thing but it would get your goal set.

Hmmm..... How would that be possible?

couldnt you put the master gear into the powerbase converter and put that into the genisis? might work

You'd have to change the master gear so that it can hold the carts of the GG, and then just wire the two devices together.

The power base is the converter that aloues you to play SMS games on the Genesis.

If it can be done you wouldn't need a master gear neccessarily all that does is connect pins between the SMS cartridge and the GameGear. So if you got the cartridge connector out of spare or broken GameGear and sawed off the top of a SMS cartridge so that the pins are all thats left connect the neccessary wires, then plug it into the Power base I don't see any obvous problems.
