I have a port of gens-gs also, but I did not post it becuase it was limited: * It refuses to build on amd64 (configure actually exits with this as an excuse). I am guessing this is probably because no-one has yet written the assembler code in amd64 calling convention. * There is a segfault bug in mono sound in gens-gs. * Does not perform as well as dgen-sdl. In general dgen-sdl was just a better emulator for me -- that's all :) I don't see any reason why we can't have >1 genesis emulator in tree, just they should all work. We actually have sdlmess in tree, which can do megadrive emulation, but it is painfully slow. For what it is worth, my gens-gs effort is attached. It is nowhere near finished. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
