==== Genesis/Megadrive cartridge pinout ==== The following table describes the pinout for the Genesis/Megadrive cartridge port. With the console facing you, row A is the rearmost row, and row B is the frontmost row. Numbering starts from left to right.\\ \\ ^pin^Name^Description^-^pin^Name^Description^ |A01|GND|Ground|-|B01|SL1|Sound input left| |A02|5v|VCC1|-|B02|!HRST|Hard reset| |A03|A08|Address 08|-|B03|SR1|Sound input right| |A04|A11|Address 11|-|B04|A09|Address 09| |A05|A07|Address 07|-|B05|A10|Address 10| |A06|A12|Address 12|-|B06|A18|Address 18| |A07|A06|Address 06|-|B07|A19|Address 19| |A08|A13|Address 13|-|B08|A20|Address 20| |A09|A05|Address 05|-|B09|A21|Address 21| |A10|A14|Address 14|-|B10|A22|Address 22| |A11|A04|Address 04|-|B11|A23|Address 23| |A12|A15|Address 15|-|B12|!YS|Video| |A13|A03|Address 03|-|B13|!VSync|Vsync| |A14|A16|Address 16|-|B14|!HSync|HSync| |A15|A02|Address 02|-|B15|HS_CLK|VCLK| |A16|A17|Address 17|-|B16|!C_OE|!AS| |A17|A01|Address 01|-|B17|!C_CE|!CE0| |A18|GND|Ground|-|B18|!AS|Address strobe| |A19|D07|Data 7|-|B19|CLK|68000 clock| |A20|D00|Data 0|-|B20|!DTACK|Data ack| |A21|D08|Data 8|-|B21|!CAS_2|!CAS_2| |A22|D06|Data 6|-|B22|D15|Data 15| |A23|D01|Data 1|-|B23|D14|Data 14| |A24|D09|Data 9|-|B24|D13|Data 13| |A25|D05|Data 5|-|B25|D12|Data 12| |A26|D02|Data 2|-|B26|!LO_MEM|!ASEL| |A27|D10|Data 10|-|B27|!RST |68K reset| |A28|D04|Data 4|-|B28|!LDS|Lower data strobe| |A29|D03|Data 3|-|B29|!UDSW|Upper data strobe| |A30|D11|Data 11|-|B30|!SRST|Soft reset| |A31|5v|VCC1|-|B31|!TIME|Unknown| |A32|GND|Ground|-|B32|!C_DTCT|Cart detect - disables onboard ROM(s)| Notes:\\ Address and Data busses are from the 68000 perspective.\\ VCC1 supplies power to the 68000 and the YM2612 and possibly some other minor parts.\\ VCC2 supplies power to the Z80, memory and custom chips. They are generated by two seperate voltage regulators. \\ CLK and HS_CLK are not synchronous, just in case you want to do anything funky (like I did).\\
