statement that blastem development slowed down and put exodus lower since it's more experimental and even less active

===Comparisons===
;[[BlastEm]]:Aims for cycle accuracy but unlike Exodus, aims for lower system requirements and has substantially higher compatibility.;[[Exodus]]:Think [[bsnes]], but for the Genesis. Even Development seems to have slowed down though higan also emulates Genesis games, Exodus has already achieved cycle accuracy at the familiar cost of high system requirements. It is the newest Genesis emulator and is far from complete.
;[[Genesis Plus GX]]:A solid emulator for the Sega Genesis / Sega Master System / Sega CD / Game Gear. The only things it lacks are 32X and Pico support, and a native desktop port. The only way to get this emulator on the desktop is to use the libretro core, which allows for all the benefits of RetroArch like shaders, dynamic sync, and other enhancements. The version used in [[BizHawk]] adds features for speedrunners.
:;[https://github.com/libretro/Genesis-Plus-GX-Wide Genesis Plus GX Wide]: Custom fork of Genesis Plus GX available as a libretro core, it includes experimental widescreen options. Sega CD/Mega CD games are currently unsupported.
;[[Kega Fusion]]:The project of an employee with previous experience at Sega. Kega Fusion has high compatibility, is easy to use, and has plugin-based filter support but it has some issues on newer versions of Windows which can be solved with compatibility settings.
;[[Exodus]]:Think [[bsnes]], but for the Genesis. Even though higan also emulates Genesis games, Exodus has already achieved cycle accuracy at the familiar cost of high system requirements. It is the newest Genesis emulator and is far from complete.
;[[PicoDrive]]:Strongly prioritizes performance over accuracy. Compatibility and accuracy aren't as good as Genesis Plus GX but it's useful on very underpowered systems like the Raspberry Pi Zero. Currently the first and only cross-platform option for 32X and Pico games.
;[http://aamirm.hacking-cult.org/www/regen.html Regen]:A focus on accuracy has earned it's high compatibility with games, but it does not emulate the Sega CD and 32X. It also allows [[overclocking]].
