| − | '''SMD''' is an interleaved file format created by the [[Super Magic Drive]] when it dumps a [[ROM]]. The SMD BIOS can only see 16K of [[cartridge]] ROM at once, and it's unknown why the data becomes interleaved. [[68000]] ROM will appear in an interleaved format, with the first 8K being the even bytes and the remaining 8K being the odd bytes of a 16K block. When reading cartridge data from the banked ROM area, or loading data into copier [[DRAM]], the data will be in this format.

| − | In order to edit a Genesis ROM, *.SMD files need to be converted to [[.BIN|binary]] files. This can be accomplished with a number of programs. One simple method is to dump the SMD ROM from the emulator - the result will be a flat binary file. Not all emulators can do this, however.
