can japanese megadrive games be played on genesis?

They're both NTSC aren't they?

they don't fit, much like nintendo 64 cartridges. but if you own a nomad you can get them into it and they'll play

You need a converter to play JPN Sega Megadrive games on a US Sega Genesis!!!

Thanks. I just found out a Game Genie allows you to play imports. Who would have thought!?!

If you take the cover off your Genesis you should be able to get Japanese carts to fit in the cart slot. If you really want, you could cut the cart slot to make the carts fit.

The early Genesis carts had no protection, but this was added to later releases.

For more information head over to gamefaqs, as they have several good FAQs on the subject.
