@OutofPrintArchive Reading about how the memory expansion cartridges didn't work outside of Japan without an additional regional bypass sounds pretty standard for Sega's international missteps to me. "Plug in this thing, but you'll need two other things to do so."
@JTO_is_Typing@mstdn.games
That’s just basic region locking though.
The Capcom cart was planned for international release at a time, but due to dwindling sales, those plans were shelved.
Barely any games that even supported it released outside of Japan anyway.
And hm the biggest fans had a 4-in-1 import cart anyway.
