Comment
The only Megadrive/Genesis game to use the Sega Virtua Processor (SVP) chip, which was developed as a rival to Nintendo's Super FX chip. Despite being technically superior to the Super FX chip, it was also much more expensive. The technology was later abandoned in preference to the Sega 32X.
Currently, no emulator can run Virtua Racing due to lack of information about the SVP chip.
