• Keep for these reasons:
  • 21,800 Google hits.
  • It's one of the most accurate Sega Genesis emulators.
  • The Mac OS X version alone has been downloaded 147,000 times.
  • The homepage of the emulator has Alexa data.
  • If we delete this we should also delete Genecyst, DGen, GENS and Kega Fusion, and maybe any other emulator.

• Keep for the reasons above, as well as the fact that the Dreamcast port is the most advanced Sega Genesis emulator for that system, and definately makes the emulator notable. Also, the Dreamcast version of Genesis Plus has been covered in several gaming magazines, such as Retrogamer.

• Keep because there's a new version coming (WIP since 2003!), featuring the most outstanding GUI for any emulator ever and an incredible amount of features and options. Also I was about to contribute some info as soon I'll have a free minute =P Last but not least, this emu uses a unique way to draw the graphics. The software rendering has been completly rewritten for the Dreamcast's PowerVR2 hardware. You can see the result in the 2004 demo release called 'GenesisPlusDC PVR Preview Version 3'.
