Check the cables. A Model 1 Genesis (volume control model) uses the same AV and RF cables, it can be used as a troubleshooting test to see if the cables are still good.

You might also try another power supply on both units. The Model 1 Genesis power supply should be usable on the Master System.

No. But it is possible to build an adapter that would make them work.

Just got one of these for $1 at Goodwill today:

Complete like the one in that picture, but I don't know if all of the "chips" are in there (obviously, mine doesn't have the baggie of extras). It's a heck of a lot smaller than the Tournament edition I picked up a few years back @_@

I had this one at one point. It does indeed look like you have all the chips. And the two chip trays.

In Topic: Why I should not buy a 7800 to play mostly 2600?

Wed May 2, 2012 12:45 PM

It is a factor of space, and desire. I have both, but my 2600 is a Heavy Sixer, and I prefer the colors on that. There are only 3-4 games that can't be used on most 7800s*. If you're limited in space and money, a 7800 lets you hit both platforms easily enough if you're willing to do some modifications, such as "cracking" the corners of the cart collar inside it, and possibly soldering in a new power connector to replace the oddball one they used. I've done both to mine.

(*I have two of them. Robot Tank and The Activision Decathlon. They use some sort of addressing scheme, IIRC, that the 7800 doesn't like.)

In Topic: Replacement PS1 cases?

American PS1 cases are just standard jewel cases, albeit completely clear to accomodate art printed on the inside of the back inserts. The only noticable difference might be the hub, and you'd have to know what you're looking for to be able to tell.
