Virtua Racer was the only game with an extra chip for 3D. Everything else on that system is running straight off a ROM.

For some reason I thought Sega had released other games with the SVP but you’re right Virtua Racing was the only one.

I think maybe I got my wires crossed with Virtua Fighter 2, which did see a Mega Drive release but as a 2D fighter (the VSP port being cancelled - presumably because of the cost of the VSP).

I went down some Covid quest of lunacy where I made literally hundreds of genesis cartridges. Yes, I’m aware of and own everdrives and multicarts, too. Got very intimately familiar with those pcbs by the end of it.

That sounds interesting. Why did you create so many? What were they used for?
