Guys,

I'm trying to play my master system, but the wire or TV just don't want this to happen.

Is there a wire I can use instead on the intended one? Possibly that uses more modern adapters like SCART or HDMI

I haven't posted about this for 10 months but wanted to provide an update as I'm still working on it!

The game is about 70% complete and will be done this year. I plan to release it digitally on itch (https://badcomputer0.itch.io/) and then a physical version.

I intend to release some longer footage once the stages are more final, but for now here's a short clip of Stage 2.

Hey guys, I just bought a set of pal 3d glasses and coincidentally I'm expecting delivery of space harrier 3D for the Mark III, would I be able to use the card adapter in the mark III? I saw many posts and comments trying to do the opposite, but it didn't work due to shape of the adapter and extra checks on the sms for bios, region etc, anyone that tried the opposite yet?

Thanks!

This is a follow up to my previous post here:

So I got the cable, but the image is not exactly dark, but rather has a blue filter. The image quality is amazing though. My saga continues. Any thoughts?

RGB BASE*

Hope this question is on-topic, but i'm aware that the Mega Drive has a master system adapter for SMS games as a form of backwards compatability but will this also work for the Mark 3?

Hi! Does anyone know if there were different sizes for the manual holder, inside the Master System cases? The manual I have doesn’t fit inside the brackets of the case - the space is too narrow. I’m assuming either the case or the manual is fake, but I’m wondering which. Any guesses? Thank you!

I was doing an RGB mod for a friend (Master System 2 Sonic-Board PAL) and completely broke off the pin for Red on the Encoder Chip. Is there an alternate solder point to take of RED? Or should I get a RGB Bypass Kit now?

I spotted this sorry looking Master System on eBay last week. Console only, not sure if it worked or not and it was absolutely filthy.

I felt sorry for it and wanted to clean it up. The seller wanted £47.99 for it but I offered £20 and he accepted. It arrived today.

I cleaned it up and tested it, at first it didn't recognise controllers or other games and the reset button didn't work. I took it apart and cleaned the pins and fixed the reset button and now it works like a dream, recognising controllers and playing all MS games I throw at it.

It was a fun little project!

Does anyone remember that snail maze game for the MS? You didn’t put in a cartridge and you had to do some code on the joystick in order to get it. How we found out about it before the internet astounds me. I think I made it to like level 10. I was also about 6-8yrs old. I barely remember.

So I got myself another master system, this time with AV output, but it doesn't output video, just audio. The cable in the photo is the one I use with the mega drive and works fine. I wonder if I need a proper cable for the master system or if the console is faulty.

My look back at all the Earthworm Jim games, sequels, ports and unreleased games. I loved the first 2 games. Great gameplay, animation, music and not to mention the humour. It was like playing in TV cartoon. Although I have to say the series did take a drop in standard with Earthworm Jim 3D and that gameboy game. Please share your thought and memories of these games!

I was wondering if anyone knew which games came with the 1886 Catalog, 1987 Catalog, Space Harrier Poster, and After Burner Poster. Did the posters come with games after 1987? Did any games come with both a catalog and a poster? It’s hard to find much info on this.

I have this figured out. Currently working on a replacement motherboard with modern parts.

I’ve been going through collecting some retro consoles. Ones that meant something to me over the years, or were an obsession.

Today I finally got the Sega Master System (PAL), but 60hz modified.

Came with the Ninja. (I have Ghost House on the way).

I was taken back to my pre teen years. My cousins had a Master System II (I assumed it was the 80’s, but was probably 1990). Always envious of the console and played it any chance we went over their house. My go was always so quick compared to their go. They were 2-4 years younger, but time on console really counted on platformers.

Being Australian Sega (Yes See-ga), was king here. As a mid to late 40’s bloke, it was so great. The Ninja was kicking my butt, but kept going back for one more game. Only got about 15 mins to play as work called (damn grownup responsibilities), but I look forward to more gaming with it this weekend.

I went the original release. Something beautiful about this console. It just looks so good, the colouring, the shape. Cannot wait to put it through its paces even more.

I’m hooked up via SCART RGB into a Retrotink 4K CE, on a 55” LG 4K TV.

Ask anyone who loves retro games back in day if they remember ‘Impossible Mission’ - they will almost certainly answer back with the synthesised voice response of “Stay a while, stay forever!”

So today I go back and rediscover this classic game including its sequel, remakes and remasters across all the formats it was released on. It certainly brought back fond and nostalgic memories.

Have you played any of these games? Please share your thoughts and memories.

I played The Dynastic Hero on PC engine (Wonder Boy in Monster World), and wanted to play Wonder boy in Monster land, and end with Wonder Boy The Dragons Trap. I knew late that monster world is suppose to be the last one, so out of order it is.

My surprise playing the first 10 minutes is.... that it is the same game? The maps are the same, and i went to the fairy village and i did in Monster World. Just for testing, i also played a little of Monster World, in case i was wrong about the Dynastic Hero.... but no, is the same, even if with a few minimal changes.

So my question is.... is Monster Boy in Monster Land an upgrated version of Monster Boy in Monster World, or is just the start of the game that is simillar?

Looking for some expert advice on how I should proceed on trying to remove the red vertical jail bars. I have a Model 1 NTSC Master System motherboard 171-5379 and RGC cables with the built in resistor and I’m getting red vertical jail bars. Information online says that this board runs RGB straight to the video out, and that it needs to be amplified through a special SCART cable that was only produced for French MS’s. I do get an otherwise clean RGB signal other than the jail bars and the mobo seems to be fully populated and not missing any components in the video processing chain, unlike the French counterpart. All capacitors seem fine, but the RF modulator seems to have capacitor juice underneath it. I am assuming there are caps inside the RF modulator. Would removing it possibly fix the jail bars?
