It's a couple of years old at this point but the information is still good.

Please read the docs. boot0.rom in ./MegaCD and cd_bios.rom in the BIOS directory.

You can also use update_all to set all this up for you.

You need to enable the BIOs database. Press up when launching update_all.sh and find and enable the BIOs database from the extras section.

Here you go, whole TOSEC 68000k DIMs converted into D88's. Also included the Mister HFE set that was available a couple of years ago.

Search the archive for "Mister sharp".
