The '''[https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis |Sega Genesis]''' ] is a 16-bit, 4th fourth-generation console released by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega Sega] in 1989 in North America1988. In other regions, it was known as the '''Mega Drive'''. It had several add-ons, including the Sega CD (a CD add-on, called Mega CD outside America) and the 32X (a 32bit 32-bit, cartridge -based add-on). 
Genesis emulation is very good, with high degree of game compatibility (many of them claiming nearly 100% compatibility with commercial games, including Virtua Racing). They are available on many platforms. Many Genesis emulators also feature compatibility with the [[Sega Master System]] (SMS), and the [[Game Gear]] (GG) as well as earlier Sega consoles (Genesis -based arcade boards and the Sega Pico are still sketchy), however.

==Comparisons==
* [[Genesis Plus GX]] is a solid emulator that claims 100% compatibility with Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Master System/GG and SG-1000 games. The only thing it lacks is 32X support. The RetroArch port adds shader support, dynamic sync and other enhancements, while the BizHawk port adds features useful for speedrunners.* [[Kega Fusion]] is a very good emulator with high compatibility, coded by an ex-Sega staffer! It is easy to use as well, good interface and has plugin -based filter support too.It has some issues on newer versions of Windows, though.* [http://aamirm.hacking-cult.org/www/regen.html Regen ] is also very good accuracy-focused with high compatibility. Lacks , but it lacks 32X and Mega CD support. * [[Genesis Plus GX]] is It also very good with high compatibilitysupports overclocking. The only thing it lacks is 32X support. The port for RetroArch adds shader support, dynamic sync and the other features of RetroArch. * [[Exodus]] is cycle-accurate, and has VERY at the cost of very high system requirements. It is the newest Genesis emulator, and is likely far from complete. It currently only supports the Sega Genesis. * [[Gens]], while having many iterations, is still a very good emulator and very close to Kega Fusion in features and compatibility, but still it has issuesbeen largely surpassed by better emulators. Depending on which version you get There are many different forks and iterations of Gens, and your experience will differ quite a lotdepending on which version you use. * [[BlastEm]] aims for cycle accuracy but for lower system requirementsthan Exodus. It has substantially higher compatibility than Exodus, but falls short of Genesis Plus GX.
