It is based on an older emulator, '''Genesis Plus''', by Charles MacDonald. This older version only supports Genesis.

'''Genesis Plus GX''' is a source-available [[SG-1000 emulators|Sega SG-1000]], [[Master System emulators|Master System]]/[[Master System emulators|Game Gear]], [[Sega Genesis emulators|Genesis/Mega Drive]] and Sega/Mega CD emulator developed by eke-eke. It's developed for the [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]] and [[Wii emulators|Wii]] (as homebrew) and is only available on other platforms using the [[libretro]] core. However, there exists an unofficial Windows SDL (32-bit) port of the emulator that can be downloaded from [http://www.emutopia.com/index.php/emulators/item/296-sega-megadrive-genesis/271-genesis-plus-gx here], but there are some differences though:

[https://bitbucket.org/eke/genesis-plus-gx/downloads Official releases] ([[Wii]], [[GameCube]], and Libretro core only)
  
* The UI is basically based on the original Genesis Plus, but it contains some backported additions and features based on v1.6.0 of Genesis Plus GX.
 
* It seems that it is unstable, that's why you will notice some bug-ridden events (like the emulator breaking when closing it, emulation inaccuracies with the Sega SG-1000 and Sega Master System, etc.).
 
* Apparently, the author of this rare port goes by the name of Clownacy, and he maintains the code in [https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/tree/master/sdl here] for "the purpose to show how to use the Genesis Plus GX core & interface in SDL in particular."

==Compatibility==
It is claimed that Genesis Plus GX achieves 100% (not counting the unpatched version of [[wikipedia:GG Aleste 3|GG Aleste 3]] and other M2 encrypted games) compatibility with all commercial games released on platforms it supports, all while being made primarily to run on Wii/Gamecube. It is recommended to use this version instead of the original Genesis Plus where possible.
