→Overview
The emulator has an overall great compatibility. Most games work without problems, although some configuration may be required for the optimal experience in some titles. It is easy to use and the system requirements are moderate. There is support for increasing the internal resolution, force feedback and GPU hardware acceleration. It has networking support, though it is flaky. There is an issue of how the emu's interface crashes if you have more than three USB devices connected and proceed to try and set up your analog controllers and calibrate them.<ref name="features">{{cite web|url=http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=6&Number=277024&page=8&view=expanded&sb=7&o=&vc=1|title=ElSemi SEGA Model 2 emu gone for good ? (Forum thread) |publisher=MAMEWorld|accessdate=2019-02-02|date=2012-02-23}}</ref> For a long time it was, and still is for most titles, the only way to play Model 2 games. However; it is Windows only, closed source and hasn't been updated since 2014. By that time, ElSemi was working at SEGA and there would be no more new releases of the emulator.
MAME has implemented a Sega Model 2 driver but only a few titles work as of 2019, and it lacks the force feedback support for control peripherals and GPU hardware acceleration (The latter unlikely to be implemented in MAME) that Model 2 Emulator has. The MAME developers have access to the Model 2 Emulator source code, but it has been of limited use due to its hard-coded reliance on Win32, x86 assembly, and Direct3D9.
