Blackaura has today posted news about his work on a port of Genesis Plus which is a great Genesis emulator coded in the C language and so is is a great prospect to be ported to the Dreamcast console. Heres what he said on the forums over at DCEmulation

Admittedly, it only seems to run Columns at the moment, but it runs that pretty well with a frameskip of 1. But Columns is just about the most simplistic game on the Mega Drive, so that’s expected.

It crashes on every other game I’ve tried on it (all six of them so far). I think it’s one of the CPU emulators, probably the Z80 emulator (since it’s the only one that can cause a fatal error). I’ll have to add some more error checking code, and see what’s the matter with it. But it works fine on a PC, and the Z80 core is the same one that Smeg uses. Maybe Heliophobe used different compiler settings. If he’s still around here, I’ll ask him.

I wish I had a BBA, and I wish my DC didn’t keep resetting.
