Sega Genesis Game Cartridge PCB with dual DIP32 8-Bit Mask ROM's

Post by siudym » Mon Oct 14, 2024 12:53 pm

I once heard that some Sega Genesis/MD cartridges used two 8-Bit chips (2x 32pin DIP ROM) instead of 16-bit ROMs - I think those were Electronic Arts games. Is that true? If so, what game titles use such PCBs?

Some games uses 8bit ROM and 74x373 as data bit extender (it keep high byte while low goes directly from ROM itself). CAS2 pin required.

Are there any known game titles that have such PCBs?
