    Default GenPlus GX 1.7.0 - Genesis / Mega Drive, Sega/Mega CD, Master System, Game Gear Emu

    eke-eke updates its port of the Megadrive emulator Genplus Wii. The big news consits in adding support MegaCD games. It will first copy the appropriate bios (renamed bios_CD_U.bin, bios_CD_E.bin, bios_CD_J.bin) in / genplus / bios / and have your games in ISO format or BIN. The author states that the CD-DA tracks are not yet supported. The changelog of the size of a novel describing any changes, for the curious.
