| Emulator | Rom Folder | Extension | BIOS | Controller Config |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lr-genesis-plus-gx | gamegear | .7z .bin .gg .sms .zip | bios.gg (optional) | /opt/retropie/configs/gamegear/retroarch.cfg |
| Osmose | gamegear | .gg | none | /home/pi/osmose_files/osmose.ini |

The Osmose is tedious to configure controllers with. The lr-genesis-plus-gx will be the most convenient choice as it utilises RetroArch configurations.
