Converting a Master System Rom to a Mark III Rom. It is possible?
Post Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2012 1:36 pm
Hi, the problem is, I have a japanese Phantasy Star cartridge to Sega Mark III. I want to put in this cartridge the english retranslate Phantasy Star Rom.
This retranslated rom is for Sega Master System. I saw that Master System and Mark III has different pinouts.

The question is, How can I convert a Master System Rom to a Mark III Rom? I really need to do this conversion to do this cartmod?
If there isn't a program to do that, someone knows if it is possible?

Thanks........

Open the cartridge to see if you have a mapper inside.
Take a picture and I will tell you if it's possible...or not ^^

Yes, if it has a mask ROM. If there's fewer than three chips inside, no.
