What is the back slot for ?
Memory cartridges, Game Sharks, and NetLink adapters that work if you use a DreamPi.
I use mine for an Action Reply (basically a Game Shark) and it lets me play North American games on my Japanese console.
I’ll just stick with my NA model, but that’s me.
Do people prefer the Japanese models better?
The model doesn’t really matter. The Japanese ones tend to be a bit easier to get for a good deal.
Then I’m lucky to have an NA model myself.
These days you can use it with a flashed 4MB action replay cartridge to play burned discs
