Introduction

JavaGear is a Sega Master System (SMS) and Game Gear (GG) Emulator for Java.

JavaGear runs as either an applet, embedded in a web page, or as a stand-alone application.

JavaGear was originally coded as my final year university project. This document is only brief, if you'd like to find out more about JavaGear, please download the full report from the JavaGear website.
