That's OK; it's an obscure bit on info on a relatively unpopular format (my speciality, I suppose  :o ) - I just didn't want anyone ending up with games that won't work on their systems :)

Not quite true - Japanese games use a different pinout and won't work on a PAL/US SMS or SMS Mega Drive/Genesis adapter.

I know it's picky but I didn't want to not point it out in case somebody decided to pick up a few Japanese games based on that info.

The statement that the Master System is region free is an interesting one. Not every game will play on a NTSC Master System due to 50/60hz video switching.

Well I can tell you right now that list isn't accurate. I have a Power Base Converter and F-16 Fighting Falcon works fine. As does Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
