OoOo, so special (not). You changed out the blue for another blue. That's it?
Yup.

Where's the Sega / Genesis / Mega Drive retro soul in this one? I don't feel the warm, fuzzy nostalgia.
Except for a bit of Dreamcast, I didn't grow up playing Sega video games. My personal experience with the Genesis or Mega Drive is zilch.

This emulator (like the previous two) was edited based on what colors the physical systems came in and from what little marketing material, advertisement, and commercial I could find about them.

This may have been a bad idea from the start because (surprise, surprise!), most home console video game systems are black as their default color and secondary colors (if there was any at all) are either grayscale or red [usually]. Cue getting called out as "You're a consolist! Not all of them are black. You should be ashamed of yourself!". You can add filthy casual to that accusation as well since I hardly play video games these days, lol.

Also, this system was made in multiple varieties. See here. Finding colors that meshed together was going to be problematic from the start.

If this fork of Picodrive looks butchered, too similar from Bubble's original build, or the colors seem like they were recycled from snes9x and virtuanes, just know this wasn't intentional.

Look for that hustler site. Those marked red won't work with PicoDrive 3DS but the ones in green will.

Edit - If it has to be a J-Cart rom, the NSUI can create a Virtual Console *.cia using the RetroArch Genesis Plus GX forwarder injection method.

 

I don't think Jcart is supported. The ROMs have been hacked to act as the non-Jcart ROM does.

Nope, only Gen/MD and Master System.
There are some GG games converted to run on MS though (Sonic Triple Trouble and Sonic Drift 2, for example).

 

Search for them.

Not that I know of.

 

Yes. The nds-bootstrap build for homebrew would have to support it first.
