Weird Name?

GenaDrive is a porn-star emulator, based on legendary porn star Jenna Ja... no not really.
GenaDrive (one word, capital G, capital D), is pronounced "Jen-A-Drive".

(Think 'MegaDrive' but with 'Gen' instead of 'Meg'.)

Okay but what is it?

GenaDrive is a partially-complete MegaDrive emulator for the XBox. It emulates the
hardware of the MegaDrive console on the XBox. Basically, it makes your XBox act like
a MegaDrive.

It actually uses the same code-base as my Pocket PC 'PicoDrive' emulator, but instead
of an ARM-optimized 68000 emulator it uses (naturally) an Intel-optimized one - A68K
from the MAME project.

How to use

Put the emulator (default.xbe) in a directory such as e:\Emulators\GenaDrive\
Make sure there is a directory e:\Emulators\GenaDrive\Roms
Put your rom images there.

Run GenaDrive.
If it doesn't work, try running 'xbepatch' on the XBE first to convert it to a retail XBE.

This is minimal zip support, though there must be no other files in each zip.

Run the emulator and you will see a list of rom images. Push up/down and press A
to select a rom image.
Click the Right thumbstick in to pause and return to the menu.

To exit the emulator hold L and R and press Black, or press Back+Start.

This is just an early version so there's quite a few things missing or not up to scratch,
e.g. sound, z80, joypad 2
