Question about Mega Everdrive

horgan_p · 2022-02-27 08:58:27

Hi , Quick question, when sites say that "CD Bios is supported" ,or that it supports Mega CD roms format what does that mean ? Does it mean that I can put a .iso on the SD card and with the Sega CD bios I can play Mega CD games without a a MegaCD ?

I believe that means if you have a EUR MegaCD, with the Mega Everdrive you can load up a JAP or US SegaCD BIOS in its place.
You'd need the 'Mega EverDrive PRO' to be able to load up CD based games direct from the SD card.

That's it alright! Can change the region of the Mega CD basically. It's actually a pretty cool feature of the Everdrive, I only actually discovered it by fluke one evening myself while messing about with different roms.

Much easier than a switch or switchless mod for sure
