Description
When loading up the "Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin" file found in the Steam release of SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics (now delisted, thanks Sega), it's stated that the ROM is not in the database. The other .bin ROM from this release I tested (Space Harrier II) does not seem to have this problem.
Here's the hash for the ROM that was given to me by BizHawk:
B711A909CCE238CA4AF3E517A2EDCA306228EFA5
