Emulators
Kega Fusion
- Very high emulation accuracy and supports multiple Sega Genesis-based systems.
- Uses DirectDraw API, which runs poorly on Windows 8 and later.
Kega Fusion is a Sega Genesis emulator developed by a former Sega employee. It focuses on emulation accuracy than enhancing performance, and features support for a wide range of systems, including Sega 32X and Sega CD. It is however closed-sourced and development has been inactive for years.
Use this low frame-rate fix to avoid frame rate issues on Windows 8 or later, however, this fix causes issues with multiple monitor setups. Ddwrapper may also fix the problem and additionally any problems with Windows 7 and going fullscreen, however the window gets stuck on a black screen or crash when exiting fullscreen mode.
Use ddwrapper[citation needed] |

Genesis GX Plus
- High emulation accuracy and Sega Genesis-based systems, similarly to Kega Fusion.
- No official computer port; this emulator is only available through select emulation frontends.
- Missing support for Sega 32X.
An open-source developed emulator that is also high in emulation accuracy and compatibility, and is available on multiple platforms. However, despite being an open-source emulator, there are no official port of this emulator for computer operating systems as it was initially developed for Nintendo GameCube and Wii as homebrew, and is only available as a Libretro core for frontends RetroArch and BizHawk. There are however unofficial ports of Genesis GX Plus for Windows, but they are based on outdated builds and unstable.[1]
