# The emulators/libretro-genesis-plus-gx port

## libretro-genesis-plus-gx-1.7.5pl20201208p0 – Sega Genesis core for retroarch

## Description

    libretro-genesis-plus-gx provides a Sega Genesis emulation core to the
    RetroArch emulator frontend, based on Genesis Plus GX.

    Genesis Plus GX is an open-source Sega 8/16 bit emulator focused on accuracy
    and portability.

    The source code, initially based on Genesis Plus 1.2a by Charles MacDonald
    has been heavily modified & enhanced, with respect to original goals and
    design, in order to improve emulation accuracy as well as adding support for
    new peripherals, cartridge or console hardware and many other exciting
    features.

    The result is that Genesis Plus GX is now more a continuation of the
    original project than a simple port, providing very accurate emulation and
    100% compatibility with Genesis / Mega Drive, Sega/Mega CD, Master System,
    Game Gear & SG-1000 released software (including all unlicensed or pirate
    known dumps), also emulating backwards compatibility modes when available.
