I don't see them on the Master System.

I don't see them on the Master System.
The core can run Sega System E games.
Oh, is there any difference between Sega System roms and Master System roms? Like is fantasy zone the same on both?
The System E was roughly 2x the Master System as far as clock speeds and memory
I assume the Master System core is based on the stronger System E but this is only a guess.
The System E was a SMS with a second VPD chip and the CPU on a daughter board (this allowing Sega to use a Z80 with encryption technology for better copy protection).
This means the core can support the System E by doubling the VDP.
The system had 32 Kilobytes of VRAM opposed to the 16 Kilobytes of the SMS because each VDP chip had it's own 16 Kilobytes of VRAM.
I found a good summary of the system here:
