Unfortunately only Gens supports that region.) Other emulators show it works fine on USA/Euro/Japan NTSC hardware but I'm interested in seeing if it works in the Japan PAL (Southeast Asia) region.

I need confirmation whether this game is actually region locked at all. It is unlikely a Game Genie can fix this but I'm just throwing it out there.)Ģ) Ristar - The Shooting Star (Same as above except in this case the Japanese version does not play on PAL hardware.)ģ) Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits (This is one of those Gens problems. Reason being, when I tried it turned out that Gens has some problems running a lot of those games.Īnd finally, this is a list of the games I was unable to create some or any codes for:ġ) Ren and Stimpy Show, The - Stimpy's Invention (I have codes for this but the PAL version will not play properly on NTSC hardware. I didn't go through the unlicensed games like the Hong Kong knockoff stuff ala Genesis versions of Mega Man X3, Soul Edge, etc. Likewise, absolutely let me know if I missed any games. Gens is not perfect so as people use the codes it would be great if everybody could let me know what codes work or don't work on the actual hardware. I want this thread to be a place for both feedback and help. Second, a few games don't run properly in Gens so I had to make some educated guesses. First, I can't be sure if all the codes even work on a real Genesis. One caveat is that I lack the resources to do this with real hardware so it was Gens to the rescue. I filled in the blanks where I needed to. I had a bunch archived already since I had been using a lot of them.

I don't take credit for 100% of the codes listed. I decided to make up a document that served two purposes:Ī) Provide a comprehensive list of all Genesis/Mega Drive games that are region locked in some form, ANDī) Provide the requisite Game Genie codes for each and every game on the list. In fact, I found that the vast majority of region locked games did not have codes at all as far as I could tell. I was not able to find a single document that covered everything.

A few months ago I was looking for some codes and realized that not only are a lot of games unaccounted for, but the codes that do exist are scattered across the far reaches of the web with no real cohesion. The problem is that finding the right codes can be a challenge. The nice thing is that most of the time we can bypass the lockout with a Game Genie. Ok, as most of us know, a lot of Genesis/Mega Drive games have software region lockouts making playing imports a pain in the ass if you don't have one of those rare and somewhat expensive Mega Key carts.

Will game genie play pal carts
