info showing the best emulator for 32x+CD games

There are six 32x games that also require the Sega CD. However, as there are emulators that are good on CD but don't support 32x, and others that are good on 32x but it's not clear how good they are on CD... It would be useful to have a session telling you which is the best emulator for this case where you need good compatibility with both 32x and CD, maybe adding a "32x + CD" colunm in the "Hardware features and accessories" table. the games are: Fahrenheit, Corpse Killer, Surgical Strike, Supreme Warrior, Slam City with Scottie Pippen, Night Trap.

Remove the SMS and GG columms

This page is about the Genesis and its addons. While technically there is a power-base converter for the Genesis, I wouldn't really count that as the Genesis, CD, and 32X. --LilShootDawg (talk) 09:51, 8 November 2019 (EST)

Add KGen/KGen98 to the list of emulators?

It is an older emulator, and its source was never released afaik, but it's a working emulator that I remember from my youth and still available on archive sites (https://segaretro.org/KGen) to this day. I think it should be added...

Recommended standalone Sega CD emulator for Windows?

On the Kega Fusion page, it says the Sega CD emulation on there is not recommended for use, so I ask, what emulator that is not a libretro core and not a multi-system emulator is recommended for Sega CD emulation??

Remove AloneMD?

The emulator doesn't seem to be available anywhere anymore: the site has been down for quite some time, it's impossible to get the files with WaybackMachine, and AFAIK there's no way of getting it anywhere else. Unless someone makes a new repo with the files, I don't think it would be useful to list it here.

SegaVR-DgenSDL emulator for unreleased SegaVR?

What should we do about this? Separate div or adding another column to main emulator section just for SegaVR? Ahayri (talk) 13:32, 07 March 2023 (UTC) Done.

Debug Emulators

Dunno if it's a good idea to include another section/table for debug emulators, like the Gens r57shell Mod.Chipsum (talk) 09:28, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Should a section for the Gigadrive be added?

and i must add that im of the opinion that since the advent of VR with it's two eyeholes for 3d stuff, there is factually no reason to not emulate 3d screen stuff from whatever system that has it, for even a fucking phone taped to one's face can do it

  • The emulator used in 3D Classics is called m2engage, you can see it by looking at the code.bin of every 3D Classics game through a hexadecimal editor. Giga Drive is mainly a "public" name of the project. The Mark V is already covered through the "Extended VRAM" section. On Amstrad Mega PC topic, there's no need to cover it, because the systems do not interact themselves each other, unlike in TeraDrive. 172.71.6.117 16:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
