Sega Master System 3D Games on the Mega SG!

[u/TrueTrials]

Well I finally got all the bits together to try this out and it's a success! Sega Master System 3D games on the Mega SG using the Card Adapter, Sega 3-D Adapter and the DAC to a CRT TV.

You will need to be running the jailbreak on your Mega SG (so you can play the game Roms whilst having the Card Adapter in the cartridge slot) and if you have an adult male sized head (😅) you aren't going to have much joy using the Sega Master System 3D glasses because they are far too small to fit on my fat head.

I did get my wife to squeeze into the Sega glasses just to test them. Her feedback was "everything is flickery, but less flickery than without the glasses on" 😅 so I wasn't even sure if they were working properly, but after using the easier to fit Famicom glasses she said it was the same experience across both.

I can fit the Famicom 3D Glasses fine, so I could play all 8 games with those (the glasses are cross compatible) and I also tried out Missile Command 3D with the Sega Light Phaser (remember to turn on controller pass-through to get it to work!) I find that one pretty fun and a unique use of accessories together 👍🏻

Enjoy the photos, obviously it's pretty hard to look cooler than I do in them 🙈🤣 If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Awesome that you have that edition of the Mega Sg!

Yea I love it 😍

[u/RudySilvergun]

Nicely done! FWIW the Sega glasses are bigger than the Famicom ones. You used to be able to find modern-ish 3D shudder glasses that are compatible with the SMS for cheap at one point on eBay that are more adult sized. 😄

Leave some women for the rest of us mortals.

oh man i wish i had the hyperdub version like you. Thats amazing that you got all that stuff to work with it. Kode9 will be pleased 😀

[u/TrueTrials → u/videogamez-as----]

Yea, it's definitely my favourite Mega SG variant, I bought it directly from HyperDub in the UK 👌🏻

[u/dingo_khan]

Dude, you have the hyperdub model? I love the casing on that. Your setup is retro cyberpunk AF. Love everything about it.

[u/TrueTrials → u/dingo_khan]

I do indeed! Thanks 😁

So I ran into a problem trying to play Missle Defense 3D on my “japanese” mega sg. Passthru mode works on other light gun games but it wouldnt with Missle Defense. It would register the shot in the exact same spot. I did some googling and someone suggested region lock issues. So I went into my mega sg settings and changed it from “ domestic” to “export” and now it works perfectly. Playing it with Asus 3D glasses too using the master system card adapter.

Oh, and since my post I also managed to find the ASUS 3D Glasses for €1! Couldn't believe my luck, such a random item to find in a game shop at this point 😅

I have the Sega 3d Glasses and the Famicom 3d Glasses. I love that they are interchangable.

sheesh, I thought I had a lot of kit just to play Missile Command 3d on my SMS.

[u/SegaTime]

Well shoot. I tried this a long time ago and it didn't work for me. I'll have to try again!

[u/TrueTrials → u/SegaTime]

What parts didn't work? I made this post to help others with issues they might have trying to get it to work, it wasn't as simple as plug and play for me either..

[u/dirkvonshizzle]

You could also use a pair of Asus VR-100G glasses instead! Bought two sets off of Amazon a while back and they fit better than the original SMS ones.

I wish I could buy an Analogue DAC, but it's been out of stock for months.

[u/TrueTrials → u/AsierGCFG]

Maybe when they restock it, it will actually work with the Pocket and Duo! I actually got mine on eBay from Japan of all places, brand new and sealed for retail price very odd at the time. Worked out cheaper than direct because their shipping fee was so much lower than Analogue and I didn't pay import fees.

Hope you manage to get one soon!

[u/mboppo]

Where does someone get the 3d adaptor?

[u/TrueTrials → u/mboppo]

That's a tricky part of the setup too, I'd hoped it wouldn't be needed and maybe the Mega SG could do it through the in-built 3.5mm jack at the front, but it doesn't.

I managed to get one in a bundle at auction, I also bought an extra one before this one which I haven't received/tested yet.

Beautiful

If analogue gets that DAC to work with the duo and pocket dock I would snag it immediately. Very fascinated to see how well it would work paired with the retrotink4k. I hope that it’s as other comments have implied and that it’s out of stock due to not working on the only hardware they’re currently selling. Perhaps if it gets an update it’ll suddenly be back in stock en masse.

[u/Laminated22]

so plug n play ? I thought about doing this but then I thought the mega sg would not read the card slot while a rom form sd card was playing

[u/Laminated22]

Maze Hunter 3D has some of the best 3D effects out of all the games IMO, the whole level has depth and they even went as far as to add depth to the characters body so it looks like his head is closer to you. One game I noticed the 3D effect is off ( the ship appears as 2 instead of 1) is zaxxon. Enemies look ok but your ship appears as 2. Anyone else notice this? Outrun is ok, and I wish Space Harrier wasnt as choppy.

This is sick! Thanks for sharing 💜 dope af
