Is there any chance to compile new builds with U-stealth support? I do not know how to compile myself so, could you post an alternative build with U-stealth support for people like me?

any plans to port this to n3ds?

It's already on the N3DS. It's part of Retroarch.

It's not an issue of the emulator but the game itself.

Hardware issues
The prototype ROM will crash the system on a real Mega Drive/Genesis machine, but only if the player does not skip the SEGA screen quick enough or delays at the title screen for too long...

You have to press START before the title screen .
You can also enable an option in the emulator settings to ignore real system crashes.

thanks for the info, I disabled "system lockups" in options and now it works

I guess that just proves just how accurate of an emulator this is

 

[sj33]

It is very accurate given the target platform. Regen is the most accurate, but requires quite a powerful PC as a result. The fact that so many of the commits to the SVN of Genesis Plus GX are seemingly small and insignificant tweaks says a lot about the commitment to accuracy.

Compare it with, say, Picodrive - which is designed for low power ARM-based formats and is noticeably less accurate as a result. Accuracy can only go as far as the target platform allows.

 

[Jacobeian]

Regen being closed-source, it's hard to tell how "accurate" it really is. It could actually be using Genesis Plus GX code and nobody could tell.

I don't know what made people claim Regen was the "most accurate emulator " but I don't think it's true and I'm actually quite sure GPGX is more accurate. For example, there are a few games that work in GPGX that don't work in Regen (Pier Solar comes to my mind but there are surely others). Also GPGX emulates Master System compatibility and Sega CD expansion while Regen doesn't.

I have a request for this emulator

right now the screenshots that genesis plus gx accepts is very finicky, and basically only accepts those individually taken with the emulator

I have a no-into romset, and a set of complete no-intro screenshots for that romset, but genesis plus gx for the wii doesnt recognize these png files (only png files taken with the emulator)

could the screenshot recognition be made to be more accepting of image files in general?

Well, judging from that video, it accepts external png files just fine (I was starting to make my own set of label just like that guy but it takes too much time :-/)



You only have to name the png file and resize the image the same as the emulator does.

 

[sj33]

You'd probably have to send any requests to Eke itself, by the way. I doubt he/she reads this thread and I just share the links.

 

[stealth_gerbil]

okay, I looked up a batch image converter on sourceforge and found " Batch Image Converter, Resizer" and it did the trick

so cool, now theres screenshots to all my games now
