Have you tried Picodrive for the Genesis games? This is pretty simple to install and set up. It also does sega cd games too but you have to find and download the region bios files (jap, usa etc). You should have no problems for normal non cd games ..?
For Game Gear, and Master System, AlexKidd2x (i think that's the correct name) is brilliant for these.
You may have been using DrMD which is still a fantastic emulator but it has been taken over by Picodrive (Reesy himself admits this!)
Give these a go using the readme's on where to install and place your games. Problems after, report back

Good luck
Oh, and opinion of F100 or F200 - completely up to you! I prefer having a joystick for the games i play. If i was into fighting agmes,i would prpbably prefer the d-pad version.
awesome suggestion. but yes, i did try out Picodrive. Im fairly sure i have it all installed right and the roms in the right places. I can access the roms, but when i select them, it loads for a split second and goes back to the menu, and it reads "not a ROM selected" ive tried this with numerous games too. It also seems that if i hold the button when i go to select the rom, it loads to a black screen with the framerate reading in the bottom right.??
Sounds like you have a bad selection of roms ... The fact you can access them suggests they are in the right place. Usually, you just press B on a selected ron, the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then the game starts. Have you tried the roms on a PC emulator to see if they work there?
For now, all i suggest is that you try and get your hands on a couple of other roms to see if they work? Are the ones you have zipped? If so that's fine but what are they zipped with? Might be some obscure method Picodrive does not recognise??!
Anyone with more brains than me (pretty much everyone here) have any suggestions?
