This is a port of Charles MacDonald's Genesis Plus emulator of the Sega Genesis / Sega Megadrive. Loadable from the Front SD Card slot by using the Twilight Hack (among other methods of loading Homebrew), Genesis Plus can also load ROMs directly from the Front SD Card Slot. All you need to get started with Genesis Plus for the Wii is a Nintendo Wii, a Wiimote or Gamecube Control Pad, an SD Card and Zelda: Twilight Princess.
