I have tested it on SEGA Nomad via an SMS converter and a SEGA Genesis 1 via an SMS converter.

I would only need the EPROM and a SMS and I'd gladly test it hah. Actually seeing if I can get a SMS cheap and how feasible it would be to get a YM2413 to add to it

OK let's set it up.
I'd love to see it tested on a US system.
I'll send you an EPROM for free if you test it and then try out code updates to fix any PAL NTSC conversion issues.

Scaley where can I buy 2x JAP with FM SMS in good condition (I am from EU)??? Or I will exchange them for 2x rare AMSTRAD CPC6128 or for 2x brand new SPs and supercard SD or 2x gamegear.
I want that FM YM SMS version so badly...

There is a bloke that lives in the Blue Mountains - I think his name is Viletim or Eviltim. I think he's on SMSpower.org. You might try to get in contact with him, as me makes reproduction YM2413 boards that fit snugly and easily into a non-YM2413 SMS model 1 and can be soldered with some effort to a non-YM2413 SMS model 2.
Besides that, maybe ask Lazerbeat about Japanese stock?

I was thinking about getting one of those FM boards. Does anyone know if the installation process for a PAL SMS2 is the same for an NTSC SMS2? My guess is I could follow the guide for the former and the latter would be the same.

In a Mark III it plugs into the expansion port on the side.

WHO just won an Ebay auction for a GG?; !>THIS guy!<!
Ebay was acting weird last night; placed the opening bid on it, but the page acted like a reserve bid auction. Went back a little later and increased my bid, but the page still didn't show me as high bidder. Checking my email tonight, I WON, Less then my max!
Now just have to get a donor SMS cart, cable and adapter...
