Preview release of BlackAura's Genesis Plus port with a menu by Speud & some code fixes by Ice88 (Warmtoe). This is in elf format, so use Elf2bin to create a binary and Scramble to scramble it. I'm sure releasing this in bin format will kill someone's server:

Any noticeable bugs or the dreaded "how many roms can this hold" please notify Black Aura in this or another site.

Speud's menu controls:

You can freely browse your cd, everything that isnt a dir or doesnt have one of the predefined extenion (zip/ZIP, gz/GZ, bin/BIN, smd/SMD) is skipped.

press down/up to move the cursor or left/right to change the page.

press A to open a dir or launch a ROM.

press B to open the parent dir.

press X to choose the resolution between 640x480 (default) and 320x240.

press Y to disable (default) or enable sound.

while youre playing press L+R+start to return to the menu.

when youre finished pressed X+Y+A+B+start to exit the app.

Please report back about the games you've tested with this release.

An SBI of this release has been added to DCStuff's SBI page.

Anything requiring scanline-accurate rendering is going to be really messed up. But the speed so far is amazing, because he's using hardware acceleration. He hasn't even replaced the M68k core yet, and they haven't touched sound, but its already pretty decent. They've released a second WIP, but I don't know if it has an SBI yet.
