Whip Ass Gaming: Sega Master System(Japan) Bios

The ultra cool and Space Harrier-inspired bios file from the Japanese SMS. By far the best Sega logo presentation on the SMS!

The homage paid to Space Harrier here is just so ultra hip!

I like the music.

[Belpowerslave]

I do too. I'm not sure if it's just the music from Space Harrier on the SMS, or it's a completely redone version of it, but it's really good stuff.

@Belpowerslave It's different as this use both sound chips of the SMS at one time

[Alianger]

what's especially awesome about this is that it uses both FM and PSG, which I don't think any other game/prog did.

The Mark III was the predecessor of the Master System, although largely identical on the inside and in turn the successor of the SG-1000 and the... whatever the one in the middle was called again.

I thought the Japanese sega master system was called the mark 3.

I love this startup! (if only it was on the other SMS's)

[ineedapizza]

This is great!

If only this were the US/Euro/Aussie system BIOS...

its not exactly.

Translation: "Turn the power switch to OFF, then please insert some software."

It animates the screen while playing the main theme from "Space Harrier" on both the PSG and the YM2413 simultaneously.

Taken from SMS Power.
