The Sega Master System & GameGear Emulator for Windows NT/95

The project was started in early June and is hoped to be completed by the end of the year (late November looks very promising). Hopefully, the first release will also be the final release as I hope that this version will be perfect, though I'll probably release a beta version for some initial feedback.
The emulator is written in C++ with the CPU emulation code in assembly, and the full source will be released with the final version.
I then plan to start on a NES emulator for Win32.

Currently, about 99% of all my SMS are playable (most with sound) and about 95% of all my GameGear ROMS. Some work needs to be done with the sound emulation (I just need to find some time) and also add some status options and the like. I also 'hopefully' would like to add 'Game Genie' emulation, as I found it a great help when I actually owned my Master System.
The emulator currently runs at full speed on a 486dx 80Mhz, though I've not tried in on anything slower.

I'm looking for any information on the 'Game Genie', i.e. how do I patch ROMS using the Game Genie codes? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm also looking for some ROMS for testing. I have tested all the ROMS that are currently available at:

Sega Emulation World (250+ Master System).
Sega GameGear Yib '97 (140+ GameGear).

If you happen to have any that do not appear in any of these sites, please E:mail them to me (individually please), stating whether they are for the Master System or the GameGear.

 
Outrun for SMS.

None of yet.

Thanks to everyone involved in the development of 'MasterGear', as without this information, I wouldn't have bothered.

Thanks to my University Lecturer (Frank the game freak) for the introduction to DirectX and the emulation scene.

Thanks to my Mum & Dad for conceiving me.

Thanks to Julie (an inspiration).
