Eu megadrive plays most genesis and Jpn md carts no problem. |

They use the same amount of pins to read the cart. Thats ALL YOU NEED the same for an emulation machine. Yes PAL and NTSC machines are far different in their requirements to run the games (back in the early 90s) but this is essentially a PC running roms. Instead of using "roms" it uses your actual carts |
