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)

ptitSeb ported PPSSPP to the OpenPandora handheld. PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later).

PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler. PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

Changes:

* Added support for Atrac+ and MPEG
* Still unstable, so expect crash when playing videos.
