Check out Streets of Rage Remake for Xbox homebrew. It's a lot of the things you're looking for.

mega memory card added.

Hahaha what

Sorry guys, too much cold medicine showing in my words. Yes, I meant actually sticking the SMS card directly into the Genesis. I gotten so used to people saying the Master Converter is just a passthrough I thought the cartridge shell was the only difference. Hate to admit it, but there you go! Anyway, I answered my own question by realizing that I also have a Gamegear and Master Gear that would benefit from going with the Master Everdrive for now.
However, Goldenegg did rephrase my question how I wished I had asked it: Would SMS roms on the Master Everdrive be playable through the Master Converter on the Genesis?
It's confusing because you keep saying "card". Budget SMS games came on cards but they were limited to less than 128K IIRC. There is no Master EverDrive card. There is only a Master EverDrive cart. And yes, you can use the Master EverDrive with the Power Base Converter. Did you watch the video review I posted? I mention that right in the video. Only thing is that you won't have the full range of games as using an SMS. Some are region locked, some won't play on a Genesis because of missing address lines like F-16 Fighting Falcon, some aren't playable with a Genesis controller like Bomber Raid, and it's infinitely more difficult to mod in a YM2413 into a Genesis and doing so also alters performance of the Sega CD and certain Genesis games for the worse. Also, the Genesis can't play SG-1000 roms.
But your reason for doing a vid is because you want to "say a big "screw you" to Gamester81"???
Really?
Not exclusively, but that is part of why I made the video. Not really to say "screw you" to Gamerster81 himself, but rather his actual video content. Almost every single example of his "reviews" are in actuality unboxing videos with little to no actual information that one couldn't get from simply reading the packaging of whatever it is he shows. He tries to pad out his videos by including some vague personal feelings.
After you watch mine, watch his review of the Master EverDrive. There's so little actual content it's almost a waste of your time. He included about 1/8th as much info as I did.
I think the gaming community deserves more than unboxing vids mislabeled as reviews.

I don't understand what you're asking. Try rephrasing your question.
-
Thanks. Part of the reason I wanted to make this video was to say a big "screw you" to Gamester81 and his glorified unboxing videos that he incorrectly labels as reviews. Reviews should cover all aspects of a product and its features, both positive and and negative. You shouldn't ever leave details on the table, and you should never have misleading content. My aim is just to create the best Master EverDrive review anywhere, but admittingly the bar was set pretty low for that.

Hey guys, wanted to let you guys know about the Video Review of the Master EverDrive I put together. My aim is to make the most informative review on youtube.
The Master EverDrive is a flashcart that allows you to play Sega Master System, Mark III and SG-1000 games on your Master System, GameGear via the adapter, or Power Base Converter.
Hope you enjoy!
-
Right. It's something that you'd have to put together yourself. you could easily do it as the cost of materials would be around the same price. Making an arcade stick isn't really as difficult as you might think. Just a box with some holes and wires soldered inside to whatever pcb or pcbs you want to use.
-
Well of course. They look to make money same as anyone. Nothing wrong with that. I'm merely pointing out that their "high end materials" are actually low grade arcade parts. It's all just cleaver marketing to make a mountain out of a molehill to attract those gamers who are casually interested in getting an arcade stick and don't do their research.
As for the lifetime garuntee, that's a nice gesture on their part, no question. They could easily not offer that.
But again, why would you replace broken happ parts with more happ parts a second time? Again, this is for people who don't know any better. happ parts are rated for about 10 years of use before replacing, but sanwa parts for example will easily last double or even triple that.
I'm not anti Happ. Happ make arcade quality buttons that are leagues better than unbranded ones and the low grade Hori buttons put in $40 arcade sticks. But it's just entry level materials. Once you experience an arcade stick made by Sanwa or Sumetsu, it's hard to see Happ as anything but the low cost, low grade alternatives they are.
-
In all honesty, the X-Arcades are just for people who don't know any better.
For one thing all the parts are Happ or Happ equivalent, which are low on the totem pole of arcade quality parts. Only Midway and other low grade cabinets would ever use them back in the days of the arcades. They get the job done, but anyone who knows anything about arcade parts would never use them.
All told, there is maybe $30 worth of parts put into the sticks that they are selling for $99. If you're going to be spending $100 on an arcade stick, you might as well go all out and get something with Sanwa Denshi or Semetsu parts which are not only much higher quality but will also last much longer as well.
It's cool that the Xarcade sticks work with a lot of consoles, but it's done through controller adapters that are all sold separately in addition to the cost of the sticks.
All in all, the X-Arcade sticks are way overpriced for what they are. Even if the prices were cut in half it would still be hard to recommend them. Happ just is an inferior choice.

I want to sell them together. The Sound Booster is made to fit the original model GameBoy. The Light is the same size as the Pocket isn't it? It would work, but it would be like putting clown shoes. The Pulse Pak is for the GBC, which would probably fit better, though still not properly.
-
more things added to the second post.
-
It's a reference to Cutie Honey, a long running ecchi rich Japanese manga/anime live action series about a robot girl who can transform into various outfits instantly by shouting "honey flash" before she goes and fights the bad guys. Honey Flash is also used repeatedly in the theme songs even going back to the 1973 version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tT4Ijk6rZY
The Tetris Flash commercial replaces this with "Tetris Flash".
-
Make a reasonable offer. If you buy it along with some other things, I'll give you a combined deal on everything. The more you buy the lower the cost of each part.
-
Oh okay. What would you recommend I use then to clean it up? I have no idea what happened to this Dreamcast - I bought it because I got it for $30 at a good will around 2003, and it was already like this when I bought it. Just sorta sat around ever since. It does work, so it's better than a "for parts" system, but it does have scuffs. If anyone is interested in it, just make an offer. I say $20 as just a placeholder. I'm not going to give it away, but I also don't expect a fortune for it.
-
TONS of things added.

From the late 90s.

Vintage Sonic doll from the early 90s.
Boxes!
These are all empty boxes. They do not include any systems or games! In many cases the systems (not the games) include the manuals and other inserts though. They're almost all make best offer things. The more of them you want the cheaper I'm willing to let them go for.

Others:
Azumanga Daioh Volume 1 and 2 $10 each or $18 for both)
An absolutely hilarious four panel manga series about a group of highschool girls and their everyday lives. Not nearly as dirty as you'd expect. This is truly one of the funniest manga series in existence. Volume 1 is in great shape, and volume 2 is brand new sealed.
Free random example: (remember to read from right to left, top to bottom)
Uncommon blue label Freeway Atari 2600 $10
5 N64 Rental Cases $8
These are very nice N64 rental cases, kinda like UMCs. They have nice red letters embroidered into them. No sleeves for covers though. The Tetris 64 cart is only for demo purposes, it's not for sale.
and lastly,
Beadsprites!
As always, I offer a wide selection of beadsprites. Here's a small assortment of my past works. In addition, I always am willing to take custom orders. Just pm me. Prices start as little as $5 for small works and shipping is inexpensive for all but the largest projects.
-
Edit: More stuff for sale!
GameBoy, Pocket and Color AC Adapter $5
Powers all oldschool gameboy models.
Mega Memory Card GBC $20
This is a cool little device. This cartridge allows you to save and keep organized up to 100 game saves for your Gameboy or Gameboy Color. It works as a backup, and so it can restore saves even when erased form the original game, or if your original game doesn't have a working battery. It doesn't create savestates or allow you to save in games like Super Mario Land, but it is handy for those aging CR32 SRAM saves.
GameBoy Advance
SFA3 $15
Street Fighter Alpha 3 on GBA! No manual, sorry.
Bubble Bobble Old & New $25
US version. Includes the manual too. For GBA games with the manuals, I even went and carefully modded the cases to fit the manuals perfectly. Take a look!
Legend of Zelda Classic NES $25
Includes manual too. When I was younger, I decided it was a good idea to paint the Zelda cartridge gold to match the NES cart. Little would I realize how poorly the paint would age. It could easily be removed with isopronaol or just repainted. Either way, I own Zelda 1 in a kajillion formats so I dont really need this one.
Serious Sam Advance $15
SAM I AM. Includes manual.
Sonic Advance + Sonic Pinball Party $25
Has manual, and is in perfect condition.
GameShark SP Make an offer. These sell for around $100, but I'm not going to be asking that much. No lowballs, though.
Play Station 2
Okami BRAND NEW $30
Brand new, shrink wrapped copy. Bought in 2006 just never got around to actually playing. The original print run non greatest hits.

Tales of the World $17 complete.

USB to Xbox Adapter $5
This dongle lets you use small USB memory sticks on your modded original Xbox.
Handmade Xbox to USB adapter $5
Lets you use an Xbox Controller S on your PC.
Tenerezza (NTSC-J) $30 [Pending]
A Japan only Xbox game, this is action RPG starring the cute magician Tenerezza. Does not require Japanese knowledge to enjoy, aside from the story itself. Does not include the manual. You'll need either a Japanese Xbox or a modded Xbox to play.
Xbox Hip Gear Screen Pad Controller $50
Boxed copy pictured, but I only have the loose one left.
This is a very rare unique controller for the original Xbox. It's a fully funtional Controller S complete with forceback, but also includes a 2.6" TFT backlit LCD. These controllers were expensive when they came out and regularly sell for $80 or more. I picked up two of these, but only need one. This is completely brand new and comes with its power supply and everything needed for it work flawlessly. Great for troubleshooting or for hot-swapping your Xbox harddrive. Comes complete and tested without any dead pixels. Here's my review of the device. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03ND_FGGNp0
Xbox 360
Keyboard, Mouse, PS2 to Xbox 360 adapter $50
Please someone take this off my hands! This is a high quality highly customizable adapter for the Xbox 360. it lets you use a PS/2 or USB Mouse/Keyboard on the 360. It allows you to map whatever button to whatever key. Also has built in turbo fire switches, as well as Playstation 2 controller support. It's crazy all the things this does. It originally cost me $115. I just want it gone, so I'm selling it for less than half of what it's worth. It does require a wired Xbox 360 controller for activation.
Orange Box Xbox 360 $15
Custom cover includes manual and disc.
Street Fighter 4 XBox 360 $6
Complete.
The Darkness Xbox 360 $5
No manual

MORE STUFF IN THE NEXT POST!

Hey all, I've got quite a bit of gaming items I'm looking to sell or trade. Prices do not include shipping, but I can get rates very easily. All items ship from Ontario Canada. I'll ship worldwide, and I accept paypal only. I provide buyers of non tracked items a clear photo of the post office receipt and packing slip upon mailing in case there is a shipping delay or other such problem beyond my control.
Don't like the prices you see? I'm willing to take best offers on nearly everything, especially if you want to buy multiple items. The more you want the less I'm asking for each thing. That doesn't mean I'll accept lowballs, just that the prices aren't set in stone. With the boxes, I've been flooded with many more pms than I was expecting, so here's the deal with them: the more of them that you're interested, the more agreeable to an overall price I'll be willing to go with, especially in batches. LIke if you want all SNES game boxes for example. Anyway, feel free to shoot me a pm if you see anything at all. I'll ship anywhere and can even offer multiple shipping rates.

vintage from 1984.

Maxi 15 NES NTSC not Australian PAL! best offer
Despite sounding like a feminine care product, Maxi 15 is a multicart by HES that compiles 15 of its games into one cart. Like other HES games, it is very rare in North America and easily exceeds $100 when sold online or in game stores that have it. I've seen the game for sale for over $150 at my local game shop. My copy has someone's name written on the label, but you can probably remove that with isopronaol.
Super Nintendo/Super Famicom
Various SNES games - pm for prices.

those are controller for any number of Famiclones. Famiclones use serial DE-9 pin connectors simply to cut costs of producing the 7 pin NES shape. Internally though, they all are 4021 clones compatible with the real NES/Famicom hardware. They just have a differently shaped plug.

I'm not finished, but I am aiming to have the best and most comprehensive guide to the GameBoy/GameBoy Color anywhere. I've done several entries starting from the top, but this is an ongoing series that has many more entries to come.
http://satoshimatrix.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/top-100-gameboy-games-100-91/
I've written this to help those who have interest in the GameBoy to be able to check out the best games, both known and unknown.
