Release PGen

[ptitSeb]

Here is PGen, the Portable Genesis by CPasJuste

This will use gl4es for the rendering. I ported only the OpenGL 1.x backend, so no shader effects. Also, if the emulator goes to fast, update gl4es (just update the system with `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`), to have latest version thta include a fake VSync option. The keymap should be Pyra friendly.

This Emulator handle Genesis/Megadrive with 32X and MegaCD extension, but also the 8bits generation of console from Sega, like Gamegear and the Master System (also the sg1000). Tested Virtual Racing for example, and it was working nicely.

You may need to install libglew2.1 and a few other for this one to work. Use

sudo install libglew2.1 libtinyxml2-6a libminizip1 libfuse2

if it doesn't start.

By default, all roms are fetched from some folder in "appdata/pgen/roms", but you can redirect the folders by editing "appdata/pgen/config.cfg" after a 1st run. Note that you cannot add new folder, it's 1 folder per system.
