Description
Sega Pico seems to share same hardware as Sega Mega Drive, which causes an oversight with the console detection. This causes all Sega Pico games to be unplayable due to Magic pen being unaviable in Sega Mega Drive. Also, for some reason, the core is PicoDrive (32X) instead of Genesis Plus GX. Will Genesis Plus GX have Sega Pico inplemented in?
