Internally the Master System extends Sega's older SG-1000 by adding more RAM and a single new video mode; since the SG-1000 was built from the same CPU, video, and audio chips as the [[ColecoVision emulators|ColecoVision]]. Many Master System emulators also run ColecoVision games.

===From SG-1000===
;Data Recorder SR-1000
Datacorder that allows common cassette tapes to be read and written with the BASIC software from SG-1000, SC-3000 , or Sega Mark III. On SG-1000 and Sega Mark III, the presence of a SK-1100 is required, so, it is not compatible with the Japanese Sega Master System. It can be used on:
* ''C-So!'' (SG-1000)
* ''Championship Lode Runner'' (SG-1000)
* ''Lode Runner'' (SG-1000)
No emulators support these controllers for now.
 
;RAM Adapter
 
An [https://segaretro.org/8kB_RAM_Adapter 8KB RAM Adapter] to be used in SG-1000, sold only in Taiwan without a license from Sega. It allows certain MSX1 conversions to be played on the system. While some of the known games were also ported to Sega Mark III, the ones sold for SG-1000 still require their respective adapter due to the way they were programmed.
 
Genesis Plus GX, MEKA, and MAME do support this accessory as a form of cartridge mapper.
===Master System only===
Optional soundboard released for Sega Mark III. Was included by default in Japanese models of the Sega Master System. Features a Yamaha YM2413, which was been used in many MSX games. Some games with FM Sound Unit support were not released in Japan, while others had FM Sound Unit support unused or incomplete, which, for the former, must be activated with manipulation in the system's RAM (e.g.: Pro Action Replay).
Most known emulators such as Ares, Kega Fusion, MEKA, MAME, and Genesis Plus GX do support this add-on. Unfortunately, this soundboard was not carried to the Sega Genesis by any means and must be modded by the owner or through flash carts such as ''Mega Everdrive X7''.
;Light Phaser
;Paddle Control
A dial controller that was released only in Japan. It functions similarly to Taito's Arkanoid / Vaus controller for NES and MSX. Most games that support this controller actually require it.
Ares, Kega Fusion, MEKA, MAME, and Genesis Plus GX support Paddle controls through Mouse input. Some games are patched to be playable with a Control Pad or even with Sega Genesis Control Pads.
;Sega Sports Pad
A trackball controller that was released only in North America and Japan. The American version is more complete, as it is bigger and has switches that allow it to be used as a Control Pad, while the Japanese version lacks this switch and is smaller. It is only used in ''Sports Pad Football'' (also known as ''Great Football'', without Sports Pad support), ''Sports Pad Soccer'' (also known as ''Great Soccer'' [Cart version], ''World Soccer'' and ''Super Futebol'', all of them without Sports Pad support) and ''Great Ice Hockey''.
Ares, MEKA, MAME, and Genesis Plus GX support Sports Pad controls through Mouse input.
;3-D Glasses
No known emulator is capable of emulating this feature.
 
;Floppy Disk Drive
An unreleased disk drive add-on that could connect to both International and Japanese models of the Sega Master System. It was supposed to accept 3½-inch disks that could store game(s) and save data, similar to how the Famicom Disk System could do for the Famicom. It should not be confused with the SF-7000 add-on for SC-3000.
 
Due to a lack of documentation on the unreleased hardware, including the floppy disk's file format, no emulators are capable of emulating it.
===Game Gear only===
;FM Tuner
Working in a similar way similarly to the ''TV Tuner'', the ''Stereo FM Tuner'' is an unlicensed special cartridge that allows a Game Gear owner to hear FM radio stations. It was released only in the United States, but it can work in any country that accepts the 87.5 ~ 108.0 MHz bands for FM broadcasting.
Just like the ''TV Tuner'', the cartridge itself has no actual software, so, it is not emulated for now.
Only a few homebrew games or ROM hacks make full use of the 3/6 button control pads. At least in their libretro fork, Genesis Plus GX supports several Genesis controllers to be used in Sega 8-bit systems, as long the game itself supports them.
 
;Super Magic Drive
A series of copiers from Front Fareast allows a person to copy game cartridges to floppy disks, allowing the ROM images to run in an emulator. The ROM files are dumped in the <code>.smd</code> format. The copier also allows SNES and PC Engine games to be played as well through physical adapters.
 
While not directly compatible with the Master System, the BIOS running from these devices runs on Genesis' backward compatibility mode. While they can be playable in emulators, the Master System emulators themselves will not emulate any of the functions made by the hardware itself. Although it is not confirmed if the Super Magic Drive can dump ROMs from Master System cartridges, an unofficial loader made to run Master System ROMs in a real Super Magic Drive was been made by Charles MacDonald.
==Hardware quirks==
* ''Ernie Els Golf'' (8KB, Game Gear only)
* ''BASIC Level II A'' (512 bytes, SG-1000, SC-3000 and Sega Mark III only)
* ''BASIC Level II B'' (1KB, SG-1000, SC-3000 and Sega Mark III only)
* ''BASIC SK-III'' (32KB, SG-1000 / Sega Mark III only)
* ''Desert Speedtrap'' (8KB, Master System version only)
* ''Home BASIC'' (32KB, SG-1000 / Sega Mark III only)
* ''Othello'' (2KB)
* ''The Castle'' (8KB)
* ''The Flash'' (8KB)
* ''The Terminator'' (8KB, Master System version only)
