About This Project

Most people won't care why this project exists. However I would like to make something clear. Like AppleCE, CE/gg is programmed from scratch based on technical information I gathered from internet. As a result (honestly) compatibility will not be as good as emulators like SMSPlus. Why not porting those successful emulators onto PPC? Firstly that's the way I do things. In addition my C programming is too poor to understand or recompile existing source codes.

CE/gg is my first project in console emulation. Honestly I've not play GG/SMS games much. Just think that it will be an easier exercise for beginner like me. But it turns out that complexity is not proportional to size. When I can make this emulator reasonably good, I will move on to a greater goal of mine.
