>Tetris is literally the game made by Tengen
No, it isn't. It was published and developed by Sega, and they made it unique. Flash Point, its official spin-off, is the only "arcade version" of this game. You're thinking of the NES Tengen game, which actually is based on the arcade Tetris.

>>5963532
>Tetris (modern port of Sega System 16 arcade version)
How does this meme still exist and who started it? The game was released in Japan a long time ago, and it was quickly taken off the market. It's unironically been on ROM sites for decades.

>>5963630
Games Can Selector (aka, Game no Kanzume Otokuyou) is the only one I'm aware of. Hopefully based OP included it in this long ass download that I'm still downloading, because I've been looking forward to that one most of all.

>>5963701
The download appears to be extracted from the US version of the device, so Game no Kanzume Otokuyou isn't on there, but according to >>5963665 it's out there somewhere.

Here's a list of what's included in the download:
https://pastebin.com/xdbN4fWp
It appears that the first region in the filename is the region of the device, and the second is the region of the game. Amusingly, Puyo Puyo is listed as the Japanese version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, which I suppose is correct in a way.

[Anonymous No.5963739]

Set a US Mini to Japanese and you'll be able to play Japanese versions of the US games. Mean Bean Machine naturally switches to Puyo Puyo.

Why? There's nothing new, other than Star Fox 2. In fact, if anything, some the games are probably crappier than the originals because of epilepsy 'tards, or something.

Different guy here, I don't have the means to record footage from my Wii, but I can confirm that Game no Kanzume Otokuyou (specifically, the rom linked earlier in the thread) works in Genesis Plus GX on there. I loaded up Flicky, 16t, and the penguin egg game, and they all work fine. I can also confirm that the rom does boot up in Kega Fusion, but loading a game leads to a black screen.

.mds are just .bin files but renamed so people are more easily able to tell what they're intended for. There was another extension they used to use for it too, .gen, but I assume because Mega Drive is the more popular name it seems to have overtaken .gen use.
