About BlastEm

BlastEm emulates the Genesis and Mega Drive with cycle accuracy sufficient for demanding demos, plus Sega CD and 8-bit Sega systems, an integrated debugger and low latency. It is deliberately efficient enough to run on old hardware.

Strengths

  • Cycle accuracy that handles demos other emulators fail
  • Fast enough for old hardware despite the accuracy

Limitations

  • Small project with occasional releases
  • Interface is minimal
