Well, what about a gg to gen converter? Does the gen not have those colors?
Palette issues, like others have said, although there are ways to convert a GG game to SMS.. It's just not something that can be done with an adapter. There are a lot of Brazilian releases and bootlegs like that.Originally Posted by Fe 26

Nope, surprisingly.
The numbers may be off, but iirc the game gear has 4092 possible colors and the gen only has 512
Behold the might of Thanos!
Someone made an unofficial port of Triple Trouble to SMS. It's playable, but still has a few bugs.
Video of port
SMS games can't use the Genesis's FM either. It is possible to make or mod a SMS adapter using the SMS FM chip, though. FM sounds off on some games, but some like Space Harrier 3D and Fantasy Zone II sound much better with it.

Genesis and SMS have 512 colours, while GG has 4096.
I think the FM audio actually takes away from the character of some SMS games.
R-Type sounds better without it.
Wtf at the gg having more colors.
Makes sense, came out a few years later.
I'm curious about the homebrew port of GG Power Strike II to SMS. How downgraded is it? Could the SMS handle this much detail with its palette? I can't imagine it looking the same.

I was so pumped out when I found out my Everdrive played SMS games and then a little bummed it didn't play GG games. I'd love to play GG Shinobi on my SD setup.
