Mazin-san's MEGA DRIVE system boards all work!

Remember the MEGA DRIVE game system boards Mazin-san showed us the other day?
Today he went to M2 and tested them all - here are the results!
"M2 offered me to check the function of my system boards, so we transported them to Tennohdai from my home.
I dug up all the system boards I own from deep down in my storage to find out that I bought more than I thought I had. *laugh*
Not all of them fit in the car so I left Namco's SYSTEM2 and its ROM kits, Power Drift's Y board at home."
- Masato Nishimura (Mazin)


"Alex Kidd: Lost Stars still functions!! I like its music. The gameplay is...that, though."
- Masato Nishimura (Mazin)


"SYSTEM32 funcions too!!"
- Masato Nishimura (Mazin)

Cool to see SEGASonic the Hedgehog working!


"So out of the system boards I brought, I was able to check everything other than After Burner functioning normally!
I have two After Burner so one of them should work. And that leaves F1 Exhaust Note, Power Drift, CP system2's Vampire and SuperII'X I left at home."
 - Masato Nishimura (Mazin)


So everything seems to be working so far! The storing condition must have been really good at his home storage.
In the futrure, some games from his system borads collection might be used for porting more MEGA DRIVE games! Let's look forward to the time to come.
