Description
Forgot to put the issues on the github as well as the forum
While browsing my library of SG-1000 games, I noticed many Tawainese only games and I wanted to try them out, they are all in a non working states on Bizhawk (and also on Kega Fusion). All the games boot with the Dahjee or Jumbo Logo and reset in a loop.
I highly doubt that it will be a priority to implement that adapter for bizhawk, or if there is even documentation about the special adapter and the games, but it allow you to play a bunch of SG-1000 games. According to the reference, these are all pirated games.
