GENESIS PLUS (Sega Megadrive/Genesis) to port GENESIS PLUS Charlsa MacDonalda, który jest w miarę znany dzięki wersji dla Wii (GENESIS PLUS DX), teraz dzięki osobie o nicku Eke-eke, znów możemy go zagościć pod PeCetem:). W chwili obecnej G+ SDL jest opublikowany w bardzo podstawowej wersji, nie ma frontendu tak rozbudowanego jak wersji WII (mówiąc wprost w ogóle nie ma frontendu;)) i potrafi nagle się poddać i zawieśić. Oj, przyjdzie nam jeszcze poczekać aż ten port nabierze rumieńców.

Genesis Plus GX is an open-source Sega 8/16 bit emulator focused on accuracy and portability. Initially ported and developped on Gamecube / Wii consoles through libogc / devkitPPC, this emulator is now available on many other platforms through various frontends such as:
Retroarch (libretro)
Bizhawk
OpenEmu
The source code, initially based on Genesis Plus 1.2a by Charles MacDonald has been heavily modified & enhanced, with respect to original goals and design, in order to improve emulation accuracy as well as adding support for new peripherals, cartridge or console hardware and many other exciting features.
The result is that Genesis Plus GX is now more a continuation of the original project than a simple port, providing very accurate emulation and 100% compatibility with Genesis / Mega Drive, Sega/Mega CD, Master System, Game Gear & SG-1000 released software (including all unlicensed or pirate known dumps), also emulating backwards compatibility modes when available.
