This game will not boot without required peripheral support (which Ares lacks right now).

According to https://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?35621-Outback-Joey-Finally-Dumped the required perihperal is the https://segaretro.org/HeartBeat_Personal_Trainer.

:o interesting, never seen that before

Do you think you could track one down so we can RE it?

Just for context: this game is extremely rare, and copies have sold for thousands of dollars on eBay. The author of BlastEm has already reverse engineered the game code thoroughly enough to implement support in his own emulator, so studying that would probably be the best starting point if someone wants to implement it in ares.
