Will the Japanese PD mini work on a U.S. Gamegear?

I was just wondering if the Japanese version of PD mini is compadible with a U.S. Gamegear.

I’m 90% sure it will.

I don’t know if such older systems had region lockouts

Portables usually dont have lockouts. I know the GBA doesn’t.

Yeah, to the best of my knowledge it doesn’t have a regional lockout (Game Boy-style, as Aitrus said). I don’t remember ever trying a Japanese game on my own Game Gear, but I’ve heard plenty of people say that it does work… and as far as I can remember, I’ve heard no-one say that it doesn’t.

Why you want to play Panzer Dragoon Mini is another issue entirely, but I’m sure you have your reasons

We are talking about the same game here, right Gehn?

Anyway, according to the only person who’s written a GameGear hardware FAQ for GameFAQs, every regional kind of GameGear game can indeed be played on every regional kind of GameGear. As far as I can tell this would make sense, so I’d feel pretty safe about being able to play the game.
