Unfortunately I had to steal the roms from original carts.

Even the generic Master System to Mega-Tech converter did not work because they used very specific chip select pinouts in order to also have the menu ROM seperately selectable.

Thanks everyone for following along :)

Not all Mega Drive signals are present on the cart connectors, so not even all Everdrives work. It would be an interesting one but I highly doubt it would work.
