Sega Mega Drive support, auto-matched Mega Drive cheats, and one-tap save overwrite.
• Added the PicoDrive core, bringing Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, 32X, Game Gear, Master System, and Mega-CD games to RetroGo.
• Mega Drive titles are now in Discover — browse and look up games right inside the app, with Chinese names that follow your app language.
• Added a Mega Drive cheat template database with automatic CRC32 matching, so cheats bind to recognized ROMs with no manual setup.
• Reworked save states into a sectioned list: overwrite an existing save in one tap instead of only creating new ones, and watch your save land in the list before the screen closes.
