It is a region cart only mounted in an old JP MegaDrive cart, I have a couple of these which have 2 serious flaws:

One of them has the typical thick circuit board which can damage your cart slot.
The other outwardly identical one has a rediculously thin board which doesnt make contact with the cart slot properly.

When they do work they will boot the Sega Logo, then a custom CD+ screen before taking you to the CD player menu where you can boot your game.

Think i'll just put this will my collection of hardware then and not actually use it. I have a 4Meg card anyway.
