Still working fine for me, nothing has been changed in the late revisions. 

Please be more specific: when do you get a code dump ? When the option is 
turned ON in the menu ? When you go back to the game ? When you load a new game 
?

Anyway, it might be possible that your BIOS.bin file have been corrupted, try 
to replace it with a fresh copy.

hmm i dont know why it would all the sudden start crashing in later revs,and 
yeah its happens when i turn on the bios,if possible you want me to send you 
the build i have?maybe there is something wrong with how it was compiled?

Nope, it's working fine for me, having your compiled build won't help me figure 
why it crashes. Just copy the last 2 lines of code that appears when the 
exception occurs

alright well now its letting me turn on the bios option in r80 but now when i 
go to select any game of the ntsc-u region im receiving a CD(code dump),well by 
chance is there a certain directory the bios file needs to be placed in?does 
the name of the file need to be named a certain name?do it need to be a certain 
region?a certain file type?

I don't understand your last question.

about BIOS, read the documentation, it's supposed to be named BIOS.bin and 
placed in the /genplus directory, along with config file and /roms, /saves, etc

if the BIOS file is not a proper genesis BIOS image, wrong thing can happen, yes

Scratch previous comment, the CORE dump shows that the emulator crashes while 
processing cpu instructions in the ROM program.This happens because the BIOS 
ROM is not a valid genesis binary image. I will add some proper ROM checks but 
in the future, you should first read the user manual...
