Adding SMS line to Sega 32x?
Post Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2021 1:12 am
Hello,

I am modding a Sega 32x for someone and I'm interested in knowing if it's possible to add back the SMS line? I use an everdrive clone and it works great for loading up SMS games on my Nomad and JVC X'Eye. I'm assuming pin B30 just needs to be reattached from the 32x cart port to card edge connector for it to work again? Currently, the game will attempt to boot but just a black screen.

Has anyone successfully done this mod?

Thanks!

Different forum, but looks like yes? I saw another post that said this works only on some Genesis/MD models though (2, not 1) https://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?28550-Technical-Explanation-for-Pow...

Disclaimer: didn't try it, don't know whether it's safe
