How many games are slot 2-only?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get an estimate of how many SMS/GG games only switch banks in slot 2 (either by choice or because that's all that the game's mapper supports) and I'm coming up short on information. The Development wiki shows some games tagged as slot 2-only, but it's a small selection and seems incomplete to me. Furthermore, the official Sega docs for both systems suggest that games larger than 1 megabit get a 3-slot mapper, yet a Sonic 2 is 4 megabits and tagged as slot 2-only. My question is: approximately (an educated estimate is enough) how many games are slot 2-only? Is the number even known, since there doesn't appear to be much rhyme or reason to whether a game uses just slot 2 or all slots? |

It’s really up to the developer. You might try setting watch points in a suitable emulator debugger and work through a set of ROMs. | |
