Last official release 1.1a (2014-01-02).\n\nUses MAME-format merged ROM sets. Each game ZIP contains all required ROMs\n(program, geometry, texture, sound, protection chips). No shared parent BIOS\nset exists for Sega Model 2 hardware, as each game board has its own ROM chips.\n\nEmuDeck packages version 1.1c from SeongGino/edc-repo0004. Installs to\nromsPath/model2/ with emulator_multicpu.exe as main binary. Ships with\nLua scripts for game-specific patches (widescreen, fixes). No checkBIOS\nentry in EmuDeck, and EMULATOR.INI references only a roms/ subdirectory.\n\nSource code never published. Original distribution via nebula.emulatronia.com\n(archived). PhilrocWP/Model2 GitHub repo no longer exists.\n",
