Everdrive question

[bikeguychicago]

With the models of the Everdrive that have the Master System pause button, does one still need the Powerbase convertor to play the Master System games or can one play the Master System games ROM directly from the Everdrive without an adapter?

 

Thanks!

You play them straight off the everdrive with no adapter.

You can play SMS games from any model of Genesis/Megadrive Everdrive without a Power Base converter. The pause button is only for replicating the pause function on the original SMS (needed for many games), but you can still play SMS games on models without pause buttons.

Hello bikeguychicago.

 

To answer your question, the Mega Everdrives X5 and X7 come with the Sega Master System Pause Button

As others have said only a few master system games that use the pause button actually have secondary uses (map screens, inventory, etc)
