Note this requires the latest SVN version of mythgame but the following are the basic steps. I've also got a couple screenshots up at http://www.phaze.org/mythtv/mythgame/ . I just added mythgame7,jpg and mythgame8.jpg which should show you what I describe below. Go into Settings -> Game Settings -> Game Players Click "New Game Player" Fill in the following: Player Name : Any thing you like. This is how it will be labeled in the GameTree and in the Player List. Type: Set it to Genesis/Megadrive. (You can use other if you are adding a emulator that doesn't have a type listed) CommandLine: Fill in the path/command for this emulator and any options. %s can be used in place of the romname or if left off will automatically be added to the end of the command. For Example my znes Commandline is this: /usr/local/bin/zsnes -m -j -cs %s RomPath: Path to where the roms for this emulator. This will be recursively searched so they don't all have to be in the single directory. SceenShots: Path to where screenshots are located(not required) Working Directory: If you need the current directory changed before running A game or emulator you can place the path you want to change to here . (not required) File Extensions: Fill in what extensions should be considered to be roms for this emulator. If left blank then any file regardless of name found will be considered a rom for this emulator. My list for zsnes is zip,smc,sfc,fig,swc. I will make this field auto fill in for the defined gametypes and you will still be able to add more if you wish, I just haven't gotten around to that yet. After you have added your emulator(s) then just run Scan for Games and you should be good to go.
