I've never been able to find a decent list of what games have any protection, there are some lists on gamefaqs.com (like http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/genes...is_lockout.txt) but not one list has a definative guide.

You could try finding roms for each game, most emulators allow you to manually set what region you want your emulated megadrive to be, you could test it this way.

And of course you could always get 2 switches fitted to your console to allow you to manually set the region (very easy on a MD1, bit more difficult on a MDII).

None of those games have lock out. As a general rule, Capcom, Sega and Konami games after 1993 usually have a lock out. Its easy to get round the lock out by moding your Megadrive to play all games as no chip is needed.

Perfect!
