MSX Mega Rom Tabel

I'm not liable for anything in that list. Opinion is just mine, you might think otherwise, that's ok.
The table only includes so called mega-roms (they are the only ones that need the special "-rom #" option (# stands for 0 to 5). If someone has some (mega) modules not contained in the list, please contact me, Malban.
(by the way 'bugs?' means that the emulation is buggy, not (probably) the roms)
