My personal collection of Mega Drive / Genesis Romhacks, in an already patched and ready to play ROM format. Most games are patched by myself, but not all are tested. Each .md file comes with a text description, copied from the places where I downloaded the Romhacks (but sometimes also from README files, random blogs and other websites too).

  • 421 Romhacks across 166 different games (or across 163 games, depending on how you process data and count).
  • Download one package size: 182 MB
  • Unpacked size: 815 MB
