Genesis Plus GX v1.7.4 (Multiple emus)

Genesis Plus is a Sega Genesis / Sega Megadrive / Sega Master System emulator for Wii and GameCube. Additionally a very simple SDL port for Win32 is available too. This is a port of Charles MacDonald’s Genesis Plus, with plenty of improvements.

Changes:

[Core/SCD]
* fixed access to read-only registers on Main-CPU side (“Batman Returns” platform level freeze)
* fixed & improved emulation of PRG-RAM write protection register (“Lunar Eternal Blue” japanese version freeze)
* improved SUB & MAIN-CPU synchronization (“Dracula Unleashed” freeze when using US Model 2 BIOS)
* improved CPU polling detection
* improved CDD emulation & added CD drive access time for SEEK command (“Panic!/Switch” intro missing scene)
* added missing reinitialization of MAIN-CPU PRG-RAM bank on reset
* added .OGG audio tracks support through LIBTREMOR

[Core/Sound]
* fixed YM2612 configurable DAC depth emulation
* improved Low-Pass filter
* added optional “MONO” output mode

[Core/VDP]

* fixed FIFO access timings when using invalid write code value (“Clue” menu)
* fixed DMA Copy with undocumented code value (“Fatal Labyrinth” end sequence)
* minor code fixes & optimizations

[Core/CPU]

* optimized 68k stack read/write functions
* fixed broken 68k address error emulation
* fixed 68k interrupt behavior (prevents interrupts from being executed multiple time when 68k is halted)
* fixed Z80 registers initial state, added proper initialization when using PBC (verified on real hardware by Charles McDonald)

[Core/MD]

* fixed SRAM incompatibilities between BIG ENDIAN & LITTLE ENDIAN platforms (note: this breaks old .srm files with LITTLE ENDIAN platform ports)
* added support for a few recently dumped unlicensed games
* added auto-detection of byte-swapped ROM files

[Gamecube/Wii]

* fixed CD Leds positioning when using NTSC filter
* improved on-screen CD Leds (thanks to Iceknight)
* various code fixes & improvements

GCMM MOD (R11) (Application)

PabloACZ has released GCMM r11 MOD, a modification of the original GCMM found at WiiBrew. It’s a memory card manager for Wii and/or GameCube.

Changes:

SDGetFileList() function in sdsupp.c updated to reflect the changes in DevKitPPC/libogc from the last three years (diropen, dirnext and dirclose commands were replaced with opendir, readdir and closedir, respectively).
Modified the MountCard() function in mcard.c to perform a probe on the GC Memory Card slot, to make sure it was mounted properly.
Improved the compatibility with GCS/SAV files with the patch posted by jcwitzel in December 2009.
The Makefiles were modified to include the zlib in the libraries section. It seems that the latest libFreeType PPC port needs it to work.
*Hopefully* Added compatibility with Official GameCube Memory Cards (see this). According to a friend of mine, it works with a 256 blocks Memory Card.
Compiled with DevKitPPC r24, libogc 1.8.8, libfat 1.0.10 and libFreetype 2.4.2.

Thanks to stomp_442 for the news.
