Megadrive RTA allowed emulators

Completed a run on Fusion 3.64. The emulator itself runs the game fine, but it does have some audio issues that are not present on my model 1 with Sega CD, using the repro I made a few weeks ago.

Wanted to propose allowing Retroarch with the Genesis Plus GX core due to it not affecting the way the game plays (that I've noticed) and it corrects the audio issues present in Fusion.

Yeah ofc! Retroarch is a very reputable emulator when configured correctly so I have no issue w/ it. On top of this being a fan project & category extensions, we dont really have a expectation of accuracy after a certain point so it would be silly to police what is and isnt acceptable beyond some base expectations.

Plus, I myself am not very experienced in the Genesis department and have only used Fusion for a singular game (Desert Bus), so it was my best guess at an acceptable emulator that I knew was something easy to access and reliable to use.

Would you mind providing some reputable links to the requested resources? As long as they are publicly available I see little reason to deny a more enjoyable, or at least accurate, experience.

Sure!

Here is a link to the Sega Retro page about the Plus GX emulator: Genesis Plus GX - Sega Retro

A link to the Genesis Plus about page that GX is based on: Genesis Plus - Sega Retro

A the link to Retroarch's Core page for Plus GX: Sega - MS/GG/MD/CD (Genesis Plus GX) - Libretro Docs

And finally a link to a clip showing off the correct audio in the Plus GX core (you can compare it to the run I submitted): Twitch Clip

I did notice a tiny graphical bug when playing on Retroarch with the flying guards on the roof, but didn't experience near the amount of audio glitches as I did with Fusion.

Ofc if you mean to post to the resources tab itself I will do that too!
