About

|
---------
|
|
|

Genesis Plus GX is an open-source emulator focused on accuracy and portability, now emulating SG-1000, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive / Genesis and Sega / Mega CD hardware. Initially ported and designed to be running on Gamecube / Wii consoles through libogc / devkitPPC, it is also available for many other platforms through various frontends.
|
|
|
|
The source code is based on Genesis Plus 1.3, originally developped by Charles MacDonald (http://cgfm2.emuviews.com).
|
|
It has been heavily modified, with respect to initial goals and design, in order to improve accuracy of emulation, implementing new features and adding support for extra peripherals, cartridge & systems hardware.
|
|
|
|
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 software (including all unlicensed or pirate known dumps), also emulating backwards compatibility modes when available.
|
|
|
|
Multi-platform sourcecode is available through SVN and GIT so that other Genesis Plus ports can take advantage of it. The sourcecode is released under a specific non-commercial license, see LICENSE.txt for more informations.
