  1. MSX Mega Rom Tabel
  2.  
  3. I'm not liable for anything in that list. Opinion is just mine, you might
  4. think otherwise, that's ok.
  5. The table only includes so called mega-roms (they are the only ones that
  6. need the special "-rom #" option (# stands for 0 to 5). If someone has some
  7. (mega) modules not contained in the list, please contact me, Chris.
  8. (by the way 'bugs?' means that the emulation is buggy, not (probably) the
  9. roms)
