==Features==
==Installation==
*Most things you'd expect from an SMS emulator.
Download and extract file, [[DLDI|DIDL]] patch it (depend on flashcard).
*Except:
 
:Correct sprite collision and overflow.
Create a S8DS directory either in the root of your card or in the data directory (eg h:\data\S8DS).
:Speech samples.
 
:YM2413 emulation.
Put games on flash card, in regards to the game files:
:EEPROM save for the few GG games that use it.
* Max 512 games per folder (shouldn't be a problem if separate SMS, GG, SG & Coleco games into different folders).
* Filenames must not be longer than 62 chars.  
* You can use zipped files (as long as they use the deflate compression).
* The emulator should also recognise SMS games for SEGAs MegaTech arcade machine and 2 of the SG-1000 arcade games (using MAME zip files).
