Genesis Plus GX is an open-source Sega 8/16 bit emulator focused on
accuracy and portability. Initially ported and developped on
Gamecube / Wii consoles through libogc / devkitPPC, this emulator is now
available on many other platforms through various frontends such as:
- Retroarch (libretro)
- Bizhawk
- OpenEmu
The source code, initially based on Genesis Plus 1.2a by Charles
MacDonald has been heavily modified & enhanced, with respect to original
goals and design, in order to improve emulation accuracy as well as
adding support for new peripherals, cartridge or console hardware and
many other exciting features.
The result is that Genesis Plus GX is now more a continuation of the
original project than a simple port, providing very accurate emulation
and 100% compatibility with Genesis / Mega Drive, Sega/Mega CD, Master
System, Game Gear & SG-1000 released software (including all unlicensed
or pirate known dumps), also emulating backwards compatibility modes
when available. All the people who contributed (directly or indirectly)

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

games/kodi-addon-game.libretro.genplus: Update to 1.7.4.31 and more
This avoids bundling the genplus code and instead depends on the
libretro-genesis_plus_gx port.
