ok heres the deal alot of Genesis/MD games are non region locked.if the cartridges are shaped the same way that japanese ones are than you will have to do some modding to your casing of your genny 1 or 2. a model 3 and nomad work perfect b/c the cart slot is the same.

ok heres the deal all Genesis/MD games are non region locked.(except castlevania and prob some others) if the cartridges are shaped the same way that japanese ones are than you will have to do some modding to your casing of your genny 1 or 2. a model 3 and nomad work perfect b/c the cart slot is the same.


Am I just misreading this? All the EARLY MD games are non region locked, but pretty much all the later ones are. For instance, I own Dragon Slayer I & II and they won't play on a Genesis. There are LOTS of MD games that are region locked.

Its a hit and miss but don't say all games are region free,there are bunch of games that are region locked.

Here's a vid about it.
