Genesis Plus GX is a Sega system emulator for the Nintendo Wii developed by Charles MacDonald. The author claims the emulator has accurate emulation and 100% compatibility with Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega/Mega CD, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, and SG-1000. It also has preliminary Pico emulation. The emulator was originally based off of Genesis Plus 1.3. For Mega CD games, only ISO + WAV and BIN + CUE formats are supported. ISO + MP3 is not supported.
A GameCube port of the emulator has been developed but lacks some features.
