:;[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.
;[[BizHawk]]
:"Just works out of the box" solution for Genesis/Mega Drive, CD & 32X, bundled with two cores (Genplus-GX/Genesis Plus GX without [https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/issues/1528 Nuked OPN2 support] and PicoDrive), ensuring both excellent compatibility and good speed without needing to mess with RetroArch. Compatible with "genesis_plus_gx_libretro and picodrive_libretro".
;[[Kega Fusion]]
;[[Exodus]]
:Think [[bsneshigan]], 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]]
;[[MAME]]
:Has the parent drivers <code style="color:green">genesis</code>, <code style="color:greendarkred">sms</code>, <code style="color:green">gamegearsegacd</code>, <code style="color:darkred">segacd32x</code>, and <code style="color:darkred">32xPico</code>. Green drivers are reported as OK, where red ones are reported as not working "preliminary" as of version 0.200246.
;[[GENS]]
:Close to Kega Fusion in features and compatibility, but has largely been surpassed by better emulators. There are many different forks and iterations of Gens, so your experience will differ quite a lot depending on which version you use.
;[[higan]] / [[ares]]
:Also developing cycle-accurate Genesis emulation, akin to its very own [[Super Nintendo emulators|SNES emulator]] bsnes. It's promising but incomplete.
