I don't know if it may be possible to incorporate sometime in the future, but it would be really awesome if Gens RR supported Master System emulation. I personally am not satisfied with BizHawk's SMS emulation, haven't tried Dega yet though, so don't know about that. But yeah, Master System emulation on Gens RR can really help lots of people out as everyone familiar with Gens' workings can be facilitated the option to be able to play through SMS games!

Emulators don't work like that. The SMS and Genesis are completely different hardware and architectures, there's no sense in making one emulator do both. (The only reason why Dolphin does both Gamecube and Wii and many emulators do both GB and GBA is because of their extreme similarity.)

Yes I know that, but there are emulators like KEGA Fusion that emulate multiple SEGA 16-bit and 8-bit systems, including the SEGA Master System and Game Gear, so why no do that for GENS RR? Besides, a version of GENS, GENS+, already emulates the SMS and GG, only it's missing the re-recording features of GENS RR.

Man, at least invite back nitsuja and Upthorn, and only then suggest such «why not»-s. Even the very basic functionality of Gens is now almost unsupported.

Actually... the Genesis can play SMS games: it has all the SMS chips and the VDP supports the SMS video mode. The SMS cartridges did not fit in the Genesis cartridge slot, but this is why Sega released the Power Base Converter -- this was a simple pass-through component that allowed the SMS cartridge to be used in the Genesis.
