MEGA DRIVE (+ MEGA CD & 32X)
(GENESIS + SEGA CD & 32X)It's the 16-bit console by Sega, released in 1988 in Japan,
it managed to compete with the SNES thanks to its very good games!
Two add-ons were released for it: the Mega CD and the 32X, improving the performances of the console, but which cruelly lacked good games (especially the 32X).
The programs emulating these add-ons need the following BIOS to work:
MEGA CD BIOS:
