Review: 3-1 adapter - Very happy with the quick delivery and great product
Review: THIS WORKS WITH THE RETROFREAK! - I wanted to write a review about this product just in case any retrofreak owners have been doing research and were wanting to play/collect game gear and master system games, I struggled to find a definitive answer on whether this was compatible with the retrofreak or not! I took a chance and bought one and can confirm this DOES WORK perfectly with the retrofreak!!! I would recommend getting this over retrofreaks own version because not only is it half the price, but this one plays the European carts for the master system, retrofreaks own version only plays mark III Japan carts due to having a much smaller cartridges slot. The only thing you need to be aware of is that your retrofreak needs the latest version of the firmware installed, this is very easy to do and the retrofreak site now has clear instructions on their English site. I saw many reviews saying this didn’t work on the retro freak but I suspect it was because they were running older firm ware. These adapters are just pin adapters and the retro freak and retron adapter have the exact same inner designs, it’s the firmware that needs the update to be able to read master system software. If you contact hyperlink they will tell you they don’t think it’s compatible with retrofreak but I can 100% confirm it does! Beautifully! Also looks better ;)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work with a pal sega megadrive model 2?**
A: Hi Robert,This will only work with our RetroN 5 console.

**Q: Does it work in a normal sega genesis like the 2 or the 3?**
A: This is basically the same as the Retro Freak Gear Converter (and that works on the Genesis just fine), the only difference is this has a cart slot that will allow for USA sms game carts to fit, the only thing that will not work with in a Genesis is the game gear portion (as the Genesis lacks the hardware to play game gear games).

But for SMS games cart and cards it will work

**Q: Could someoe please tell me what is this?**
A: It is an adapter for the retron 5 that allows the user to play Sega game gear, master system, and master card games

**Q: Will it work on my Retrobit?**
A: if you're retrobit plays Genesis games than probably, the Game Gear part won't work but the Master System carts and cards should in theory.

### ⭐ Retron5 console and Adapter review
*by T***T on 22 January 2026*

This applies to the system andcthis adapter. The problem is that the multiple game system compatibility causes major problems with a smooth operation. No proper instructions. The machine downloads original cart games to its internal system and runs an emulated. It's not the original smooth experience. I understand the need for picture outputs to be modded but this has not been streamlined. The product comes over as a first version of a kick-starter project that never got converted to a consumer product. Must have money issues or lost interest.
