Steam Store description

Genesis Plus GX began as a homebrew port of the Genesis Plus emulator for a hacked console before being ported to libretro. With a focus on speed, accuracy and portability, Genesis Plus GX now appears on a variety of platforms and frontends, and is known as one of the most capable and compatible emulators for the consoles it covers, with support for both cartridge and CD-ROM games. It also works well with many of RetroArch's advanced features, such as real-time rewind, runahead latency reduction, cheats and RetroAchievements.

SteamPulse editorial summary

It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, belongs to Single-player, Multi-player, PvP, Online PvP, Shared/Split Screen PvP, Co-op, Online Co-op, and Shared/Split Screen Co-op, and is associated with Free To Play.
