Wii homebrew developer Eke-Eke, who just recently released the latest build for the Genesis Plus Project, has also released the latest build for the SMSPlus Project, another Sega emulator for the Wii.

If you missed the previous releases, the SMSPlus Project is a Sega Master System and Game Gear Emulator for the Wii. This latest release shows some similar improvements as the GenPlus project showed, including added controller support and some tweaks to the “stretch” mode.

Some peripherals, such as the Light Phaser and the Paddle, are now also supported and emulated by the Wiimote. Be sure to read the documentation included in the download for more details on the program, including installation procedures, controls, and options. Here’s the changelog for release 05-07-2008:
