Another Interesting Retron 5 [3 in 1] Experiment (Megadrive Model 1)
3Someone in the comments wondered if the Retron 5 Three in One Adapter works in the OEM model 1. So I thought I'd try it in my Sega Megadrive model 1. Surely roughly the same results would apply to the American version, being the Sega Genesis.
DISCLAIMER :
Keep in mind, the Retron 5 3 in 1 Adapter doesn't have an official pause button for the Sega Master System games on the cartridge. So in games like Wonderboy III, Psycho Fox and Alex Kidd in Miracle World, there is no way to go to the pause menu to view/use your items.
If you missed the first video, with the Megadrive Model 2.
