BlastEm aims for [[Emulation Accuracy#Cycle_accuracy|cycle accuracy]], and for 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 very early the only emulator other than Exodus that can properly display direct color DMA demos and to pass all of the tests in development howeverNemesis' VDP FIFO Testing ROM. It is also available as a [[libretro]] core for [[RetroArch]].
