I've tried genplus from retroarch but the frame rate is still pretty terrible on o3ds, are there any alternatives?

You're going to have a pretty bad time trying to use Gen Plus on O3DS; it's a lot more accurate (and hence slower). Stick with Picodrive as they suggested.
 
What games are you planning on playing? I recommend Herzog Zwei (Is that how you spell it?) and Sonic 2. My 2 favorites for the genesis.
 
Thanks people, picodrive works like a charm
Great! Also, it's not part of the question, but I recommend these games (especially the bold ones):
Altered Beast
Comix Zone
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Earthworm Jim
Flicky
Megaman: The Wily Wars
Pulseman
Ristar
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog

Toe Jam & Earl
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

EDIT: Not that I'm condoning piracy or anything...

Its a shame Picodrive only works on the CIA build, Picodrive always crashes on the newer firmwares on 3dsx! :(

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm an old skool gamer though played and completed most of those 15 odd years ago, I would add a few more like
Smash TV
Ghouls n Ghosts
Ecco the Dolphin
Streets Of Rage
Desert Strike
Lion King

None of the emulators people have made for the 3DS are accurate whatsoever. They're all horrendously slow and only achieve a 60FPS frame counter by using frame skip/duplicating frames.

If you say so. Gen Plus is extremely accurate (not quite cycle-accurate, I don't think, but still, unless the RetoArch team added in hacks, it's one of the most accurate Genesis emulators with good performance too). It also has a constant 60 FPS on N3DS with no frameskipping or duplicating.

Accuracy and speed are two different things when it comes to emulation. Accuracy refers to how comparatively close the emulator runs to the original system. Speed is pretty self explanatory. Gen plus is sacrificing speed to have the emulator be as close to a 1:1 copy of the original system as possible.
