genplus sega genesis emulator

Genesis Plus emulates a Sega Genesis or MegaDrive console. It has been originally written by Charles MacDonald and ported to the Nintendo GameCube by the “Genesis Plus” Team.

It is an open source emulator and a community project which aims to bring you blast processing into the past. Using this “emulator” you will be able to enjoy all of your classic 16-bit games in all of their glory. Genesis Plus has been converted from a PC based platform to run on the GameCube’s proprietary PPC Gekko processor and features customized code to give you the best gaming experience possible.

This port is based on Genesis Plus 1.2 source code but it has been largely modified to improve overall compatibility, emulation accuracy as well as adding various peripheral supports and interface extra features.

Features:

accurate & full speed Sega Genesis emulation
Stereo Sound (@48 kHz)
PAL Megadrive (50Hz) timings support
1~4 Players support
SDLOAD or IPL reboot
SRAM autoload (optional)
ROM Information Screen
Zipped roms support
Interleaved roms support (.smd)
Load roms from SDCARD or DVD (4.7GB DVD support for Wii users)
Load/Save SRAM and FreezeState files from/to Memory Card & SDCARD (compressed)
Original NTSC & PAL progressive rendering modes (240p/288p) support
Enhanced Interlaced Mode 2 (double resolution screen) support

To Run:

Download the Genesis Plus emulator for Wii.
Format an SD card to FAT16 (or FAT) format. Genesis Plus emulator will not work with FAT32 formatted SD cards.
Read through the steps on how to use the Twilight Hack, using the Genesis Plus emulator as the homebrew application you want to run.
Following the Twilight Hack step #3, rename “genplus_wii.elf” from the Gensis Plus emulator zip file to “boot.elf” and place it on the root drive of your SD card where the Zelda saves are located.
Create a directory called “genplus” on the root directory of the SD card.
Create two directories under the “genplus” directory you just created: “saves” and “roms.”
“/genplus/saves” will be used to store your save games.
“/genplus/roms/” will be used to store your game ROMS. Put any Sega Genesis ROMS you want to play in this directory. Note that zipped ROMS are supported.

Note:
The SDCARD library has some bugs when multiple files with similar filenames (i.e which have the same 6 first characters, space included) are present in the same subdirectory. Be sure to limit the number of files and don’t put more than four files with similar filename within the same directory.
