        It does have to accurately reproduce any enhancement chips or mappers if those are supported.

      I doubt the built-in sega CD emulator is accurate for anything, but the cartridge game rom data is usually all good like said. It probably doesn't store saves the same way but I don't know when that difference would make an impact. I also don't know how to get it to work with lock-on stuff like Sonic & Knuckles but there might be a way.

        I’m sure it’s as accurate as any other ODE

          It has scaling chips. Are you telling me those scaling chips are hardware accurate?

          It doesn't just emulate the disk, it emulates the whole thing. The sega CD has its own CPU, RAM, etc and can do things the base console can't. That's different than a regular ODE like they have for the Saturn. Phøde is supposed to be more like a regular ODE that you use with a real sega CD, if they ever finish it that is.
          I haven't seen any evidence for mega ED pro being hardware accurate.

            To process the discs data
            I see what you are trying to do

              Anon, the last line of your post should have been
              Suck my dick, get a life
              So that your schizo post would spell breasts vertically. Since you mention it though, it's kinda sad that people pay so much just for an emulator.

      It's not that simple when you have games with enhancement chips

      Also there is the whole SegaCD FPGA emulation thing

    In what way anon?
    It’s accurate as in it plays the rims as a real cartridge would
    CDs seem to work without skips or audio quirks though it probably loads faster

    The hardware is already in the Genesis. The flash cart just feeds it the rom. This is like asking if your classic Sonic 2 cart is "hardware accurate"

      It emulates the entire sega cd system. It's an emulator.

        And it works in conjunction with real hardware, therefore it's accurate

          My ED64 plays NES games using an emulator but I don't go around telling people about how it's such a great NES flashcart. It isn't.
          It is a good N64 flashcard though.

            It isn't, it's not even comparable
            The Mega CD needs to use the Mega Drive to play games, otherwise it would have video out on the Mega CD itself

                Is the Mega EverDrive PRO hardware accurate?

                For genesis games, it's just a rom loader. If you're talking about Sega CD or SMS, i cant vouch, i never tested them side by side and went turbo autist, but im fairly confident it's just as good. If you have a genesis, i'd highly recommend it.
                Just know it still needs a real 32X to play 32X games though

                mega cd and 32x both process graphics and are both reliant on the base system
                just because the console is functioning doesn't mean it is processing the game accurately
                you are a moron

                Not really true, just because the game runs on real hardware does not mean it's 100% accurate. Not that I am saying it's not either, just that "it runs" is not a valid way to gauge accuracy.

                The 32X has it's own video out moron
                If it worked like you say then it should work without a 32X but guess what?
                it doesn't

                The video out means nothing, the SegaCD had it's own audio out after all. The 32X cannot function without being connected to a Genesis. And I don't mean the whole "mixes the video of the genesis" thing, I mean it can't run anything at all if you try it standalone, it's dependent on the Genesis to run even it's own code. So not really a good argument to make.

                correct, because the SEGA CD processes its own audio

                My point was that the Mega Drive can't push through graphics that are processed on an external chip

    Isn't there a raspberry pi inside a famicom cartridge that you can stick in the slot and it runs video out the back of the console kek. I think that's a thing you can buy for real
