What is the current status of Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulation? I'd like to get Gens or Gens-GS running on Raspbian, if possible. How is the performance?

Since Genesis/Mega Drive Gens also emulates the 32X and Sega CD as well, feel free to mention this information, if it is available.

At the moment, my understanding is that you won't be able to get Gens to run on the RPi. Gens contains x86-specific assembly, which won't compile or run on the RPi.

On the other hand, there are a number of Mega Drive emulators for ARM devices like iPhone and Android phones, but they're all OS-specific and won't run on the Pi either.

I did find DGen which compiled and ran on my Pi, but crashed a few seconds in when the SEGA sound tried to play.
