Description
For most of the Sega 16-bits console's life span, cartridges were produced without any sort of territory protection. Only the physical differences of cartridge sizes was making Japanese games not compatible with US and PAL consoles and vice verca. This Game Adapter is designed to go around this physical protection in all ways.
However, later in the MegaDrive's life, Sega and several third-party publishers started implementing a software territory lock-out in some games. For these software protections, the Honey Bee Game Adapter will not be helpful and only a GameGenie or an Action Replay Pro would do the job. To know whether or not a game includes a software territory lock-out, please check the link to Phil Eccles' Territory Lock-Out Games List at the bottom of this page.
