==Modes== ===Mega Drive Plus / Genesis Plus / MSU-MD modes===
The Mega Drive Plus / Genesis Plus (sometimes abbreviated as MD+) is a special mode for certain Genesis games that use enhanced CDDA tracks with a Sega CD. This was not used in any official games, however, the mode itself was first used in the first batch of Pier Solar releases. This feature was been [https://downloads.terraonion.com/public/MegaSD_DEV_Manual.pdf documented] to be used on Terraonion's Mega SD flash cartridge, to give similar effects for Genesis games in a way that MSU-1 does in patched SNES games. Another variant was been made for [https://krikzz.com/store/home/59-mega-everdrive-pro.html Mega Everdrive PRO], named [https://github.com/krikzz/msu-md MSU-MD].
A variant called 32x Plus (abbreviated as 32x+) made exclusively for Sega 32x games also exist, but again, it is only used by homebrew software, such as ''Doom 32x Resurrection.''
