Seems there is a new flash cart for the megadrive/genesis coming, except this has an onboard FPGA to handle megacd emulation.
Preview video from Modern Vintage Gamer (and he knows his stuff)
Also rocking "MD+" which is apparently a mode to allow CD style audio in mainly megadrive/genesis titles, though obviously things will need to be hacked to do it. Example in the video @ 5:40 but in principle it is similar to the MSU-1 that various people are playing with on the SNES, and to a lesser extent some of the MBC hacks for the gameboy (color) and mapper changes for the NES (though perhaps a better comparison there would be for people doing fun things with the FDS).
Bit pricey ($100 more than the already tippy top everdrive) but compared to getting and maintaining a megacd at this point in time...
Note no onboard 32x so you will still need the hardware if you go that way, though it still functions as a flash cart for it if you do.
