BlastEm aims for [[Emulation Accuracy#Cycle_accuracy|cycle accuracy]] while also hitting lower [[computer specs|system requirements]] than [[Exodus]]; it is one of the only emulators to properly run Overdrive 2, a demoscene production by the group Titan meant to showcase the capabilities of the Genesis through digital art.<ref group=N>Though [https://www.retrodev.com/repos/blastem/file/b96f9fae757f/README#l499 the readme states that he had assistance from Titan themselves].</ref> The first Overdrive demo runs perfectly which only [[Genesis Plus GX]] can also claim. Commercial game compatibility is close to, but not quite at, 100%. It is the only emulator other than Exodus that can properly display direct color DMA demos and to pass all of the tests in Nemesis' VDP FIFO Testing ROM. |
