A few games, such as Wonder Boy in Monster Land, due to the way they access the joypad port, will not work with a Megadrive/Genesis controller.

Another game with that problem is Penguin land.

Great Volleyball has problems also... It was also written on Tec Toy SMS joysticks boxes to use it on the Mega Drive when playing this game...

I just dusted off my copy of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and I tried it with my Genesis controller. Didn't work too well. My guy kept going to the left untill i swapped my Genesis controller with a SMS pad.

If you cut the wire in the Genesis/Megadrive controller that connects to the start button, it will work with ALL sms games, including Wonder boy II, Montezumas revenge, ect.
Or you could hook up a switch to this wire and give the controller a SMS/Genesis switch option.
