For 1st time i use the SMS test suite (0.33)and appeared a Hang On & Safari Hunt [A] in results. This mean that i have a SMS with BIOS variant?


There are two different "Hang On & Safari Hunt" BIOSes we know of, now. You have the 'updated' one.

I tested my 6 button MD controller original but the suit dont test all buttons.


Which buttons don't work? Also make sure you're using the Player 1 port.

Thanks! Curiosity. The console is labeled "Master System II" when, here in Brazil, would have Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

Is in port 1 but works only buttons B and C. Start exit the menu. I understand that are buttons for use in Master System but, for me, to test X, Y, Z, A would be cool.

I don't get it. Your console has Alex Kidd in Miracle World in the BIOS but the test suite reports that as a different BIOS?

Interesting. I suspect it's either not a real Genesis/MegaDrive controller or your Brazilian Master System is not handling Genesis/MegaDrive controllers the expected way. What you mean by "Start exit the menu"?

Sorry for my bad english. In Brazil the Sega Master System II models was realized with Alex Kidd in Miracle World . This my Sega Master System came with Hang On + Safari Hunt even with "Sega Master System II" labelled on it. Your test suite dont show nothing wrong.

When i press start the test suite exit from Controller test and back to main menu. Well, in fact the controller is a special 6 button controller labelled "Master System " on it made by Tec Toy. But the test dont work with all button also in my Chinese MD controller.
