Project Lunar Released
team quote:
It's been over 3 months of long days and nights, but Project Lunar 1.0.0 is now officially online and available to everyone!
We know many of you would have liked this version earlier, but we wanted to make sure that the first version was ready and we could provide a safer and more stable solution from the start. (With a ton of features of course!)
Project Lunar is a fully-fledged modification tool for the SEGA Mega Drive / GENESIS Mini. It allows users to add games, mods and ports while including a wide range of additional features and improvements. It consists of a payload on console and a desktop application for PC and all this is extremely easy to use.
The team also gives several information on their site, video tutorials and of course the Project Lunar download link. In addition they specify that no risk of brick is possible (provided you follow the installation steps).
All info, video tutorials etc available here

Project Lunar 1.0 caveats
Bluetooth support is 80% done, however we want to improve support with broadcom bluetooth devices to extend compatibility. Due to this we have delayed releasing it until 1.1
Xinput and SONY HID drivers are bugged. This means xbox based input devices are not properly working and PS4 controllers (when connected with usb) produce lag in the default emulator. This is something that is being worked on and an update will be pushed out when it’s available.
Individual game selection for sync within desktop is not supported within 1.0. It will be added ASAP
