sega game gear help

[kazekirifx]

The Game Gear might be able to run the games, but it has a lower resolution and SMS games get cropped. The Game Gear has a huge master palette and I believe stereo sound, so those don't translate properly to SMS hardware. I have seen working SMS console with a Game Gear added to them, but it was basically a two-in-one console.0

That's exactly right. For more info on what it takes to make a GG game run on SMS, you should check out this page where a guy has hacked five GG roms to run on SMS.

Yep, lots of palette issues, and also how to handle the SMS "pause" button, and make do without the GG start button.

I've recently come into possession of a game gear, with cap issues.  Any idea where to get caps not online?  I'm not aware of any electronics stores around here & I checked radio shack, they had no capacitors. :/

so sad to hear that radio shack has given up their only reason to live.
