Prince Manic Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I'm getting a power base converter soon and I been wondering if the Master systems can be plugged in the Gens Controller Ports and used just like if it was a Gens controller, so are the pins the same as the Gens controllers or I can't use it at all? Most games requires the master System Controller to be used and I don't want another console as this converter is better anyway. I've tried to find it's pinout to be sure it's the same as the Gens but nothing....so can master system controllers work on the Gens?

+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 You can use the master system controllers on the Genny with a power base converter. Just of course most genesis games aren't going to work properly with only a 2 button controller and not start. However, most of the master system games can use the genesis controller just fine as well. There are a few games where the genesis controllers won't work right. Montezuma's Revenge comes to mind. So yes... you can use SMS controllers in a Genesis with a PBC attached to play SMS games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra600n Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I believe Penguin Land also doesn't work properly with the Genesis controller, but you should be fine plugging the SMS controller into the Genesis for SMS games. Like Crossbow said - there's just no start button to pause the games, but otherwise will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwj_chim Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have played Ms. Pac man with an atari 2600 controller on the genesis. just got to use a genesis controller for the start function and then swap them. I bet you can do this with a master system controller as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Manic Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Okay then I'll nab a SMS Controller as soon I can and plug it in my Genesis to play some SMS games way better with what I have currently for my power base converter, thanks for the help.
