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.

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.
