megadrive cartridge probs

[luvhistorics]

G'day guys, i was wandering if anyone has had this problem before.

I got a sega megadrive with some in-built games and recently found a cartridge of Golden Axe II. I plugged it in and the game seems to work fine but... the direction pad won't work. All the other buttons do, but not the direction button. The in-built games on the console all work fine, no trouble, but the only cartridge game I have just has that one strange problem. I even sourced 2 new controllers and it still happens.

Anyone heard of it before?

Thanks for reading.

With some built in games? Is it one of those new ones then? I believe some of them did have compatibility issues.

yeah, the ones you buy from big W or K-mart.
with all the rain we been having I thought it be a good cheap alternative to keep the kids amused, not realizing that all the fond memories I have of playing sega would come flooding back, they can't get me off it!

These Mega Drives with built in games are cheap clones that use emulation rather real hardware so you will find that the sound is terrible on a lot of games, some with have graphical glitching and others just won't work.

You could have probably bought a real Mega Drive with a load of games for the same price off eBay.
