CrabEmu is a video game console emulator for Mac OS X, Sega Dreamcast, and various other.nix-like targets. Currently, development is focused upon the 8-bit consoles built by Sega, with support for the Sega Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000 and ColecoVision. Initial support for the NES is also available. I got an Odroid Go and am looking to give it some new Game Gear roms. My favorite rom sites, Vimm's Lair and The Eye, both don't have Game Gear stuff, so does anyone have any other options?
| The Sega's both systems had almost exactly the same hardware with the only difference being that one was mobile and the other handheld. That enabled game developers to easily transfer games from one system to another. Specs:

The Latest Version of MasterGear is 4.7!
MasterGear 4.7 for Windows andLinux,released on October 5 2020, adds drag'n'drop support to the Windows version and a simple CPU-based linear interpolation algorithm, used in cases where hardware linear interpolation is unfeasible. Linux users can enable linear interpolation with -linear command line option.
If you likeMG-Windowsand want to support its further development, consider downloadingMG-Androidfor your phone or tablet. The Android version comes with many coolextras, such as built-in Cheatopedia with codes for dozens ofpopular games, State Exchange for exchanging gameplay stateswith other users, and more. Give it a try and report any encountered problems in thediscussion group.
Sorry, but still no apple for iOS users (blame Steve Jobs for your terrible closed platform).
The complete list of features and the list of new features and fixes can be found in the documentation.
What is MasterGear?
MasterGear (MG) is a program that emulates 8bit SEGA videogames on your computer. It runs games made for SEGA MasterSystem (Mark3 in Japan) and GameGear, as well as their predecessors: SG1000, SC3000, SF7000, and Mark2. MG will also help hobbyists who still write software for these systems to debug their works without using rare and costly development hardware.
I started working on MG in 1996, after finding some technical documentation about SEGA MasterSystem on the Net. Writing an SMS emulator was relatively simple, as I already had experience with thefMSX emulator and SEGA's consoles are very similar to MSX computers. Since then, Iextended MG to support the GameGear handheld and the previous generation of SEGA consoles: the SG1000, the keyboard-equipped SC3000 home computer, and the disk-based SF7000 computer. There is also support for add-ons, such as enchanced FM sound chips found in Japanese SEGA consoles and serial EEPROMs used to save games in some GameGear cartridges.
Because MG source code is highly portable, it runs on many different platforms, from Apple Macintosh to Sony PlayStation (see MasterGear Ports section below). While the source code is not available to the general public, I do share it with people every now and then, when they ask nicely and if I like their projects.
MG is still being developed, although not as actively as before because most features have already been implemented. At the moment, I am mostly dealing with bug fixes, adapting MG for commercial applications, and extending functionality beyond that of the original consoles.
Licensing MasterGear
MG is written in portable C language and will run on any sufficiently fast computing device, be it a computer, a videogame console, a PDA, an MP3 or DVD player, a set-top box, a cell phone, or even a digital camera. For example, MG has been successfully used to add gaming capabilities to several DVD players. If your company plans on using SEGA games in its products, you canlicenseMG from me. I will also point you to a place where you can licensethe games themselves. Finally, I am available for consulting work in the software emulation, embedded programming, and other fields. See myresume andcontact me if interested.
Playing Your Games With MasterGear
MasterGear does not contain any games, as they are copyrighted by the companies which produced them. You will have to find the cartridge images yourself, using Googleor other search engines. I do suggest you buy the original cartridge for every image you are using, or use a copier on the cartridges you own.
