PowerBase Mini FM

A brand new, smaller alternative to the original Power Base Converter with mod-less FM sound support. Comes with BitBox case and insert. Check out the difference between FM sound and the regular Master System sound here:

Features:

  • Mini size that fits in any official Genesis / Mega-drive system† (does not work with JVC X'eye and will not work on the Nomad, even if its modded to work with SMS games)
  • Please select Side Notch if you need Japanese Mega Drive Model 1 cart lock support.
  • FM sound support! FM sound can be disabled by holding Pause button while powering on system.
  • Red colored shell
  • May work on some clone systems, but not guaranteed.* This will NOT work on the RetroN5. The RetroN5 has its own FM sound emulator with later OS updates. If you want to use your Master System carts on your RetroN5 please purchase a regular PowerBase Mini.

    This product has made me rediscover my love of all my old SMS games again! Just using it for Double Dragon, Outrun & Shinobi is worth it! It's a shame Sega didn't include FM as even an option in North American consoles. This is a MUST buy!

    Excellent product! Being able to play the FM tunes on games that support it is amazing! It really is a must have for Phantasy Star, Double Dragon, Outrun, and more, as the FM tunes are so much better!

    Works as it should. Sounds are amazing compared to the original bip and bloops. You need this if you own at least 3 of the games on the compatibility list then you are going to want them all!!!

    You can hear trumpets and bells and whistles when it's attached to your games. Amazing piece of equipment guys!

    Tried it in both a Genesis and a Retron 5, works like a charm with all my Master System games! Excellent product.

    I have been using this with my Retron 5 and my favorite SMS game Phantasy Star. Works like a charm!
