In Ipoh flea market. Comes with Sonic 2 cart

. But I am not sure how to distinguish between ori and fake game gear carts, still a newbie in game gear, any game gear collectors here ? Haven't seen wonderswan as it was not very popular here. I did saw FF collection last time in Jusco Cheras long long long time ago.
ooooo, that's scary

. Need to find 6AA now ... heard those game gears suck battery real fast .... .
For me both my MD1 and MD2 uses the same adapter (10V). Didn't know MD1 uses 9V adapter. For the Micro Genius, it state 850mA is the MAX, which is cause of my worry, just open it to test a game or two to verify the Micro Genius is alive !!!
How to differentiate the ori and fake game gear carts is quite simple.
First just see on the label, the difference is quite obvious as the non-ori normally don't have a logo of developer (like SEGA, etc.) and usually comes in multi-in-one games.
Also u can check the back of the cart, for original there's a special screw which is not common.
U can only open it with a special tool like gamebit if not mistaken. The fake one only use a normal star screw, which u can open easily or sometimes no screw at all.
Yes, if you're not sure better don't try hahaha ... later u may fried yours
Using battery, it does really suck the juice out of it quite fast. I think your 6 AA can only last around 3-4 hours of continuous play, u've been warned as well
Maybe it's a better idea using a rechargable battery, but normally they only charge 4 batteries at once. This is why Gameboy has an advantage in this area
Yes MD1 uses 9V adapter, I've tried to use a MD2 10V adapter before on MD1 console and also worked. But there's a bit of high pitch noise noticeable on the speaker.
So I won't really recommend to use on long term if the voltage is different (although a bit like 1V different may not really harmful).
I think for the ampere it won't really make a different as long between 850mA - 1200mA.
