So, I'm trying to load Master System games from my X7 running on a Mega Sg and failing miserably. I'm not quite sure if this is even possible or not as there is some contradicting information out there. For example, GameSack's review of the Mega Sg says "If you have Master System games on your Genesis EverDrive, they're not gonna run here", while My Life in Gaming's review states "The Mega EverDrive X7 works like a charm and will boot Genesis, Master System and even SG-1000 games". Should this be possible, or do I need a Master EverDrive?
I personally have never had any success booting Master System games from my X7, on either a Model 1 US Genesis or a CDX. I'm running bios 3.06, which should be new enough to support this, but I just get a black screen when loading .sms files. I do have the 3 different region sms bios files in my \MEGA folder, named correctly.
Any thoughts? Do I just have a bad X7 perhaps? I had given up on this feature in the past, but was hoping the Mega Sg would be able to get around the problem.
Update:
I ended up fixing this myself in just a few minutes by deleting the 3 sms bios files in the \MEGA folder. I can confirm that you can load both SMS and SG-1000 games from the Mega EverDrive X7 on the Mega Sg.
Enjoy.
Thanks
