      I have RetroPie 4.4.2 running on my Pi 3B+
      Everything is pretty default.

      When I boot up a Mega Drive / Genesis game and press the A button for options I cannot choose a different emulator. The only option available is PicoDrive.

      Though I am sure Genesis-Plus-GX is installed on my Pi because I can choose Genesis-Plus-GX for Master System games.

      Any reason I cannot choose Genesis-Plus-GX when playing Mega Drive / Genesis games?

      On the RetroPie wiki page I read:
      lr-genesis-plus-gx is best for the Pi 3/Pi 2 due to its accuracy. lr-picodrive is more suited for use on the Pi 0/Pi 1 due to its speed. DGen has the worst performance and can be tedious to configure the controls for.

      There for I would like to use Genesis-Plus-GX instead of PicoDrive.

          Life saver!

          I did a RetroPie update through install script (to update all packages).
          That fixed my problem.
