The type name for the SG-1000 application is genplusgx-sg
.

also currently maps to this application. In the future, the sg1000
alias may be mapped
to another Sega SG-1000 application (different emulator implementation) if it is determined to be a
more appropriate default.

The table below contains the properties that are specific to the SG-1000 application. These properties are
specified in the props
object of a feed item.
Property | Type | Required | Details |
---|---|---|---|

rom | URL | Yes | URL to a SG-1000 ROM file or a zip file containing a ROM file. |
