PicoDrive is Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS emulator.

http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/PicoDrive/PicoDrive_180.pnd

From the last version, 32X and SMS support was added. This is still incomplete (32X needs work and I lack motivation for SMS), it has been in development for more than a year now and it started taking forever because of other projects, so I figured I should release something as it reached somewhat usable state.

Many 32X games need overclocking and some glitch badly due to bugs. There is still a lot room for improvement though. There should be no need to tweak SH2 underclocking or disabling PWM like on GP2X/Wiz/Caanoo, just give it enough overclock and games should be playable if they are compatible.

Here is complete changelog from last released version:

Enabled 32X and SMS code. It's still unfinished but better release something
now than wait even more (it has been in development for more then a year now
due to various other projects or simply lack of time).
Pandora: added hardware scaler support, including ability to resize the
layer and control filtering.
Changed the way keys are bound, no need to unbind old one any more.
Handle MP3s with ID3 tags better (some MP3s with ID3 did not play).
Improved shadow/hilight color levels.
Fixed broken cheat support.
