Title: Master system to Genesis converter pinout.
Post by: Hamburglar on February 01, 2010, 06:08:01 PM
Does anyone have a pinout for Master system to Genesis adapter? Despite searching all over, I haven't been able to find anything.
Power Base converter won't work for me since I want to use it on my Nomad (already soldered the missing connection required for Master system support)
I know Tototek has an adapter on their site, but that thing is huge.

Thanks in advance.

I had my Datel Pro Mega Master (original name!) on my desk, so opened it up and took a couple of photos for you, I don't have time right now to draw out the schematics, but I think you can follow the traces ok on the photo, apart from one bit. It's hard to see, but on the photo of the back of the PCB, pins 10 and 11 (from the left) are linked on the master system connector.

Thanks for the pics, I found a couple pics for a similar converter online, I was wondering if anyone had gone through the trouble of tracing it out before attempting to do so myself, it's always easier when you have the board in front of you.  If no such info is available I will definitely go this route-
