Thanks!I bet the pal version is also only PSG :(FM Sounds incredible.

It's the type of sound used for this music. The North American SMS uses PSG like the NES.In Japan the SMS got an add-on that lets games support FM sound, the type the Genesis uses.Not all PSG or FM sound is the same kind, they're more of a broad format. The SMS and NES have different PSG and the SMS and Genesis have different FM sound.

What means "FM" ?

Interesting, thank you for the info & comparison of the audio capabilities of the Mark III & Genesis.It is odd that Sega would allow the audio of Mega Drive/Genesis to be inferior, even in some aspects, to that of the Mark III.

But Genesis had just 6 channels of FM (5 if you enabled the digi-sound on channel 6) and its digital sound was very bad as the entire sound hardware had just 8 kilobytes of RAM.The SG1000 Mark III FM had 9 channels of tone FM sound or 6 channels of tone FM + 5 percurssion channels, so it is superior to Genesis FM in some aspects and inferior in others.Also, the Genesis FM doesnt really sound much better than 2-operator OPL2 on Adlib-Soundblaster on PC or OPLL on SG1000 Mark III FM.

It's similar. But Genesis/Mega Drive had better FM capabilities (more operators) plus PSG sound (same as Master System) and one PCM (for voice samples and often used for drumsounds). I love the sound! :)

This sounds like Sega Genesis!I envy the Japanese!

Awesome. I better get one of those before they get rare then.

Yup. Almost all work, but not every non-japan cart whose japanese version supports FM will play in FM on Mark III systems.Most still have the FM code though.

Sega Mark III games from 1987-89 has FM sound. |
