Sega GameGear and Master System Emulator

[jesta]

This is a port of Charles MacDonald's SMS Plus emulator, based on Softdev's last release, with some compatibility fixes and additional features. Download the latest version and execute smplus.dol on your Gamecube or Wii with your prefered method and then load a rom from ISO9660 DVD or from SDCARD. If you use SDCARD, roms must be placed in the previously created directory /smsplus/roms. Savestates need a /smplus/saves/ directory.

Read smsplus.txt for detailled options and full credits.

SPECIFIC NOTES:

​

(1) SDCARD users should create a directory named "/smsplus at the root of the SDCARD. Inside this directory, you have to create a subdirectory named "/smsplus/roms" to put all your roms. You should also create a subdirectory named "/smsplus/saves" where SRAM and FreezeState files will be saved.
For Wii users, please note that the SD slot is*NOT* supported, you need to use a SD-Adapter in one of the MCARD Slot

(2) If using a DVD to load the roms, the format of the image you burned must be ISO9960 or you won't be able to read from it. The maximal readable size is 1.35GB for Gamecube users and 4.7GB for Wii users.

(3) When putting roms either on DVD or SDCARD, it is recommended to use subdirectories as there is a limit of 1000 files per directory.

(5) When using Memory Card in SLOTA, some mounting errors may occur. Remove and insert the Memory Card before trying to save/load anything again.
Be sure to have enough free space on the memory card when saving
