But Brazil had the same issues with videogaming because of import controls. The difference: Brazil was generations behind. Usually the low value of Cruzado/Cruciero would mean the masses were likely to shop the grey market and going legally above board would mean sticking with old consoles selling so high that nobody would buy them.

It released a year or two after the original Gam*Boy. Hyundai (the electronic company, not the car maker) made Korean versions of Nintendo consoles.

I own a Japanese Master System and yeah, other than the lack of FM audio and changing the external power supply to an internal one, the Gam*Boy is pretty much identical. The US/PAL Master Systems got rid of the rapid fire button on the console and replaced it with a reset button, but the Korean version retains said rapid fire. It's strange that they decided to remove the FM audio, as many Korean roms retained the capabilities of it, though that's true of US/PAL SMS roms as well.

The FM synth was an optional module that slotted in the back of the cartridge slot and all original Master Systems around the world have the pins to attach it because there wasn't any major modification done. The thing is games outside Japan had the FM sound code removed, so even if you slotted a FM module to a US or PAL console it does nothing unless you use an Everdrive with japanese or modified ROMs. So technically there isn't any superior model, all are essentially the same.

In South America we had the Master System built under license by brazilian manufacturer Tec Toy. Which looked exactly like a Master System built anywhere else, except that it didn't have the SEGA logo on it. The controllers said Tec Toy on them instead of SEGA. Tec Toy also went and made some localized versions of games in Portuguese and even released some ports of games that weren't released anywhere else (like the Mortal Kombat II version for the Master System) or original games only released in Brazil, like the Woody Woodpecker video game, or one based on the popular Brazilian comic series "Monica's Gang". The insane thing is that Tec Toy still has that license to build Master System consoles, and they are STILL making them and selling them to this day. The "Master System Evolution" is basically a plug and play Master System with no cartridge slot because all the games are already built in the console. So if anyone ever wants a "Master System Mini" but is sad that hasn't been done yet, all you need to do is get to Brazil and buy one there. They are super cheap because Tec Toy makes them with the idea of people with low incomes to buy them (people that can never afford a new Play Station or Xbox). Oh, and if you wanted an Atari 2600, well you had to buy an Argentinean made "Edu Games 2600" which was a locally made version of the Atari 2600, which looked quite different and also the joysticks were bigger and more sturdy to hold than the Atari 2600 ones.

Great video as always man, I keep getting kinda distracted; sounds like the mic for your voice is kinda, scratchy? But the drums for the backing track are super crisp. Could just be me? Love your content, something about how you explain things; it's not abridged, it's just to the point.

This is a very cool niche, I really enjoy your commentary. Please keep making content (just like everyone I came here from Wade).
