[Newserator]

ekeeke vient de publier une nouvelle version de son portage de l'émulateur Genesis sur Wii. Près de 4 mois se sont écoulés depuis la précédente mise à jour, et un travail assez conséquent a été réalisé durant ce laps de temps pour l'améliorer, à en croire le changelog monstrueux qui accompagne sa sortie.
