Adding items to software lists is a good start if you'd like to contribute to MAME. It doesn't even require compiling:
* download the source
* open the relevant xml file found in the hash directory (in this case megadriv.xml) in a text editor
* spend a few minutes looking at it to understand if entries are listed in a particular way (i.e. alphabetical order, year order, particular groupings like official titles, bootlegs, prototypes, etc. This may vary from softlist to softlist)
* add the entry, respecting the layout of the file, and save
* launch MAME to test it
* if it works and MAME doesn't report any errors, you're ready to commit the change
* before committing it's always a good idea to run mame -validate and, possibly, srcclean the file (srcclean is a tool which is distributed with every MAME release, usage i.e. srcclean hash\megadriv.xml)
