The best solution for Sega Megadrive/Genesis Mini on Raspberry Pi

Thanks for the feedback! :)
The thing is that initially I did it for personal use. In my assembly of roms for each system, I took the same proportions of box art. Therefore, I removed the "extra" elements intended for squared box art.
I recommend you just redo all the square covers in megadrive format, that is - 230x320
In the future, I will most likely return the missing elements so that different cover formats can be used.

Great! I really hope you come back to do that sometime, because the rest of it is phenomenal and that final touch would be the cherry on top. Keep up the good work!

I added the missing frames and now everything works, however, the selector of the selected game (which is not in blast16) is displayed in strictly specified proportions of 230x320 even when the square cover is selected. Therefore, I had to remove it.
If you are satisfied with such a solution, then here is the link to the new update.

I think over time I can find a way to solve this.

Fantastic! Now it works without problems. Many thanks! As a suggestion / contribution: How about putting the cursor in this way? It respects the style of Mega Drive Mini, adapts to all covers and looks better than nothing :-D

A small update. Added the ability to change the NTSC filter from the settings, as well as many small corrections.

@frgn hello. Thanks for the great work! I would like to inform you that I found some english translation errors. In the Menu. In Audio section theres a misspell "Aduio" and in the Display mode: "Standart" instead of "Standard"

@Nojito
Thank! Fixed.

I’m surprise nobody figure out how to run other emulators using blast16. Even loading cores in retroarch is impossible. 😢
