GensKMod (Visual Studio 2022 Edition)

Updated version of GensKMod that can be compiled directly with Visual Studio 2022 Community.

Unlike previous versions, all required libraries and external tools are now included in this project.

• ✅ No more DOS batch files
• ✅ No manual core compilation
• ✅ Just open and build

Simply open the GensKMod solution in VS2022 and build.

The build process will:

1. Assemble the 68000 cores
2. Compile the cores
3. Generate gensKmod.exe

Included Components

This version uses an older NASM release, which is included in the project.

GensKMod is based on the original Gens emulator and uses the Starcream 680x0 library for Sega Genesis and Sega CD 68000 CPU emulation.

The CPU core has been customized and optimized for Gens.

Directory Layout

Gens/
├── All Gens source files (except CPU cores)
Starscream/
├── Main68k/ -> Genesis 68000 CPU core
└── Sub68k/ -> Sega CD 68000 CPU core

Gens uses two separate 68000 cores for performance reasons:

• No context switching required
• Each core optimized for its specific function

Netplay Support

To enable Netplay features, place kailleraclient.dll in the same directory as gensKmod.exe.
