Comparisons
Ootake is okay for general purposes.
Mednafen is great. Command line only though. It has PCE-Fast, and PCE-Accurate. It can also has a PC-FX core.
RetroArch can run Mednafen's PCE-Fast core. . GUI and other things.
MagicEngine only has a free demo available. To get the full version costs €15 EUR. There is no reason to buy it when there are better free options available.
