      I thought I'd check out this port now the coin-op works in MAME, but nothing seems to run it. Picodrive loops back to the title screen when you press the fire button, SMSPlus-GX starts the game but no movement controls work (the fire button does), and GearSystem loads it but nothing does anything on the title screen.

      FBNeo-SMS gets closest - the game starts but the controls are totally wonky. Right and left are back to front and you can't move into the left-hand half of the screen.

      Apparently Megumi Rescue was one of only four games to require the SMS paddle controllers, which I didn't even know existed. The only SMS emulator I can find with explicit paddle support is GenesisPlus-GX, but that won't boot the game even if I force it to run as a Japanese Master System. (SMSPlus-GX, weirdly, doesn't have the Master System controller options that GP-GX does.)

      Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.

        The arcade version works properly in FBNeo, i don't know about the sms version (probably nobody tried it), i'll try to take a look soon.
