* Mono/Stereo settings (via Dreamcast BIOS)
* Nice and easy to use GUI
* GPDC is [[GPL|free software]]

===Missing Features===

* 4 player support
* Frameskip options for the software renderer
* Enhanced sound options

==History==

GPDC started as a port of Genesis Plus by Charles Mac Donald. It's been in development since 2003 and a lot of progress has been made since then:

BlackAura rewrote the video renderer for the Dreamcast's PowerVR2. Stef D of [http://gens.consolemul.com/ wGens] fame joined the project in 2004 to contribute fast and accurate CPU emulators: C68K & CZ80.

Now with Fox68K's new SH4 Z80 emulator FAZE, and FAME, a 68K emulator written in Dreamcast's SH4 assembly language, and BlackAura working on sound emulation, the project has reached its final stage. An official release is expected for the end of this year.

===GPWT===

Until then there's the preview version of GenesisPlusDC Warmtoe & BlackAura released in 07/2006.

It is called "GPWT" because it's been the first version to introduce a new GUI written by Warmtoe.

==Controls==

===Button Layout===

*Mega Drive A-Button: (X)
*Mega Drive B-Button: (A)
*Mega Drive C-Button: (B)
*Mega Drive X-Button: (L)
*Mega Drive Y-Button: (Y)
*Mega Drive Z-Button: (R)
*Mega Drive Start-Button: (Start)

To exit a running game press (L) + (R) + (Start).

===In the Menu===

(Start) loads a game.

Pressing + holding (Up)/(Down) scrolls through your game list.

You can skip pages with (Left)/(Right) on the d-pad.

To disable/enable 6 button support, press (X).

To change the region settings, press (L).

===CPU Settings===

Some details about the different settings:

Pressing (B) at the menu changes the CPU emulator. You can select either

'''FAME''' - [http://www.m68k.com/fame/ Fox68k]'s great SH4 M68K emulator for fastest emulation, or

'''C68K''' - [http://gens.consolemul.com/ Stef D]'s fast and accurate M68K emulator for better compatibility.

===Video Settings===

Press (A) to toggle the graphics renderer. You can select either

'''HW''' - Hardware renderer written by BlackAura, using the Dreamcast's PowerVR II DC, very fast but inaccurate in a few games, or

'''SW''' - Standard software renderer of GenesisPlusDC by Charles MacDonald, 100% accurate but much slower.

===Recommend Settings===

Recommend settings would be 'Render: HW' with 'CPU: FAME' - if this doesn't work for your game, try 'Render: HW' with 'CPU: C68K' (which is the default setting).

==ROMS.TXT==

===Method 1: Manual creation===

Make sure to rename the actual '.gen', '.bin', or '.zip' roms to not have spaces.

''Examples that'll work:''
 
Rename ''''Comix Zone (U) [!].bin'''' to ''''Comix_Zone_(U)_[!].bin''''
 
Rename ''''Comix Zone (U) [!].bin'''' to ''''ComixZone(U)[!].bin''''
 
Rename ''''Comix Zone (U) [!].bin'''' to ''''ComixZone.bin''''

'''''The rest is straight from the readme:'''''

In GPWT there is no directory browsing - just that fixed list of names for that fixed list of games.

You put your (zipped) ROMS in the directory:

\gpwt\data\ROMS

It also expects to find a file:

\gpwt\data\ROMS.txt

In ROMS.TXT you can put the names of your games in there plus the name you'd like to see displayed on screen:

SHINOBI.ZIP The Revenge of Shinobi

'SHINOBI.ZIP' (or 'shinobi.zip') would be your actual ROM, 'The Revenge of Shinobi' will be displayed on screen. Each file + name goes into a seperate line in ROMS.TXT.

===Method 2: Provlist by burnerO===

First download this:
*Tool Set - [http://www.dcevolution.net/dsdevelopment/large/CE/gpwt-tools.zip Zipfile]

Included are Provlist & Renamer which both are needed.

1. Copy your ROMs (*.zip) in /gpwt/data/ROMS/ and run Provlst.exe

2. Open ROMS.LST in Wordpad and replace ".SMC:" with ".ZIP " (space).

3. Save as 'ROMS.TXT' in /gpwt/data/

4. Right-click on your /gpwt/data/ROMS/ folder and start Renamer

5. Click on 'Edit' -> 'Multi-Change' and replace "%a.SMC" with "%a.ZIP"

6. Click on 'A->B' to apply the changes and then close Renamer

===Method 3: Romlister by Smurph===

Download this application first:
*Romlister - [http://www.dcemulation.org/1-newsdump/emulators/genesisplusdc/gpwtlr_v12_by_smurph.zip Zipfile]

1. Zip all your roms. Keep them in a separate folder apart from the Plainfiles, or SBI, directories.

2. Start the rom lister.

3. Select the ''''data'''' subfolder from the the extracted Plainfiles, or SBI, packages.

4. Select your folder containing your zipped roms, and click on the 'Process' button.

==How To Burn==

A little tutorial:

===Using Selfboot Inducer===

*1. At first you need to download [http://sbibuilder.dc-france.com/download/?idsys=2&idcat=15&idfile=115 Selfboot Inducer v4] and install it into C:/SBInducr/.

*2. Then download a SBI for one of the GenesisPlusDC versions [http://www.dchelp.net/sbi HERE].

*3. Put this file into your C:/SBInducr/SBI/ folder.

*4. Start C:/SBInducr/SBInducer.exe and check the SBI file showing up on the right window. Then select either "Single Menu" or "SBI2Boot" and click on 'Extract SBI'.

*5. Browse to the C:/SBInducr/Inducer/gpwt/tools/ directory to find some tools.

*6. Using one of the 3 methods listed above, copy your roms to the ROMS folder, and create a ROMS.TXT.

*7. Click on the 'CDRecord' button to burn the CD directly, or on the 'DiscJuggler' button to create a '.cdi' image.

===Using BootDreams===

*1. Download Bootdreams from http://dchelp.dcemulation.org, and install it.

*2. Extract the plainfiles to their own folder.

*3. Using one of the 3 methods listed above, copy your roms to the ROMS folder, and create a ROMS.TXT.

*4. Start Bootdreams.

*5. Select the folder containing the plainfiles ''''''1st_read.bin''''''.

*6. Choose your image type: '''''CDI''''', '''''NRG''''', or '''''MDF/MDS'''''.

*7. Click on the process button.

*8. Burn the image with your application of choice.

To burn straight off Bootdreams, without creating an image, select the "CdRecord" option.

To use the Bootdream's image burner select the "ImgRecord" option.
