Recently been getting into European mastersystem games and found this beauty! This is probably the best version of bubble bobble on a 8bit system!

Hi all, I’m Liam and I’m a huge fan of the SMS. For the past year and a half or so I have been playing a game from my SMS collection every week and reviewing it. If you enjoy reading reviews, you might enjoy my blog. Feel free to check it out here https://mastersystemchronicles.weebly.com/

Hey folks. I’ve been playing authentic Master System cartridges on my Genesis using the power base converter. I finally was able to buy a Master System today, but was disappointed with the image quality when comparing the same cartridges running on the Genesis (both with composite cables, not RF to clarify). The Master System has more color bleed horizontally, is over saturated and seems to flicker more horizontally when the screen animates. Is that expected? My Master System seems to be in great shape, but I want to make sure it’s not a specific issue with it. Thanks!

And if so, would you be willing to take scans of the manual? I’d like to get a reproduction manual printed, but can’t find any scans on the web.

Dipping a toe back into YouTube after a few years away, and this is the first in hopefully a series of Master System videos.

Seemed appropriate to start with Alex Kidd.

Apologies in advance if this isn't the place to post these things.

So I posted a month ago about testing a joystick I acquired and someone said get a mark III. Well I got one but it did not come with cables. I plugged in my Famicom power adapter and the red power LED came on so success I think. Now I see the two options for a/v so I tried to find info and used an NES RF as well as a TI99 9 pin RCA but can’t get a picture or sound. I tried channels 96/97 and have used that trick for the famicom and other Japanese units. Will somebody help me figure out what to buy or use to connect to a CRT a/or modern tv?

I want to connect my SMS 2 to a modern TV. I plugged the consoles RF output to the antenna port on my TV, scanning both DAN and ATV (only supported types on my TV) shows no results. I tried manually going through all possible channels also to no avail.

I actually need a pause button for my sg1000 but figured sms1 would be easier to find parts on. But I can't seem to find a 3d print file for a pause button for either.

Anyone know of one?

I have recently picked up a few Master System games. And have been playing them on my Megadrive via a converter. I just missed playing these back in the day as my first consoles were a Megadrive and Game Gear (so I am familiar with some of the GG ports of MS games), but I have been absolutely loving them! What are the best MS exclusive games, unique MS game versions (it seems there are quite a few games where the MS and Megadrive versions were completely different), or games were the MS version has the edge in terms of game play?

I am in the PAL region and I understand there is a bigger PAL library than in other regions.

The Jurassic park cartridge was the only one I kept all this time, I'm glad it's working. Now I got the master system again, time to build up the collection!
