PicoDrive is designed to run well on toasters like the GP2X, so it sacrifices a lot of accuracy for speed. It can emulate most Genesis and Sega CD games without any serious issues, but SMS emulation is somewhat buggy and Game Gear emulation is completely broken. 32X emulation works but is not as well developed as [[Kega Fusion]] or even [[GENS]] (you can find a list of incompatible games [https://docs.libretro.com/library/compatibility/32x here]) | PicoDrive is designed to run well on toasters like the GP2X, so it sacrifices a lot of accuracy for speed.

[[ares]] is currently the best option for 32X emulation. | ||
A more recent fork has appeared from irixxxx that has fixed several of the above issues. 32X accuracy has improved, and Game Gear is now fixed. It's also available as compiled Windows binaries without libretro. | |||
It's recommended that you only use PicoDrive if your preferred device is too weak to run anything better, or if you absolutely need a 32X and Pico emulator that isn't Kega or [[MAME]]. However, consider that PicoDrive is the only core that emulates the 32X and Pico when using RetroArch. | It's recommended that you only use PicoDrive if your preferred device is too weak to run anything better, or if you absolutely need a 32X and Pico emulator that isn't Kega or [[MAME]].
