→Hardware features and accessories
Genesis/Mega Drive emulation is very good, with a high degree of game compatibility (many of them claim nearly 100% compatibility with commercial games, including ''Virtua Racing''). They are available on many platforms. Many Genesis/Mega Drive emulators also feature compatibility with the [[Master System emulators|Sega Master System]] (SMS), and the [[Master System emulators|Game Gear]] (GG) as well as earlier Sega consoles. However, Genesis/Mega Drive-based arcade boards and the [[Sega Pico]] are still sketchy.
;Remember, certain titles for [[Wikipedia:List_of_Sega_CD_games|Mega CD]], [[Wikipedia:List_of_32X_games|32X and CD 32X]] games are dependent on those add-ons. Make sure your chosen emulator [[#Hardware_features_and_accessories|supports those add-ons]] if you want to play them.

The Sega Mega CD, 32X, and Sega CD 32X were add-ons for the Sega Genesis that expanded its capabilities with Mega CD-ROM playback (It can also play Audio CDs and CD+G discs), enhanced processing power, and a limited library of CD-based games with 32X functionality.

===[https://karmic128.neocities.org/sgflashback/ Firecore]===
Firecore is a system-on-a-chip clone hardware based on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive system, originating in the late 2000s. Most emulators have not been tested with Firecore-enhanced titles, however it is unlikely that they are supported.
