Any way of running sega 32x games on a ppc?

[longboarder]

So I recently found out about the games virtua fighter and virtua racing and I really wanted to try to run them on my imac. Genesis plus does a great job of emulating genesis games but for some odd reason it wont run 32x games. Is there any emulatore thatd allow me to play 32x games? Thanks in advance

Honestly, as much as I love my PPC Macs, I think emulation on a $35 RasberryPi is better... I know it's not likely the answer you want to hear, but it's an alternative...

I believe Kega Fusion runs 32X games:

Kega Fusion - Sega Retro

segaretro.org

But although it's a contemporary of the PowerPC Macs it wasn't ported to OSX until the Intel era. Bummer.

To rub things in there is, or was, a BEOS port of Gens:

BeOS Gens - Sega - Genesis / Sega CD / 32X Emulators - Zophar's Domain

But good luck getting hold of it and getting it working nowadays. In theory if you could travel back in time to the late 1990s and convince Apple to opt for Jean-Louis Gassee instead of Steve Jobs you might be in luck.

I'm not sure which of those two feats would be harder.

No. I guess what I meant is an emulator written in java
