Gens

A lot of people would agree that playing a fan-made Sonic the Hedgehog game is nice but it often comes very short of the authentic thing. Since old-school consoles don’t grow on trees, having an alternative is good. That’s why Gens is here, a lightweight emulator for Sega games.

Gens is designed to provide support for games that were released for SEGA Genesis, Mega-Drive, Sega-CD and Mega-CD/32X. Support for all of that is neatly packed in a small piece of software that can offer you a lot of hours of entertainment.

The application displays a user-friendly interface that should be accessible to anyone who wants to try or relive a classic. Simplified, the entire process of running a game means loading the ROM file into the app, and that’s that. Games start automatically once they are loaded so your only real challenge will be to find a well-built game for the app to emulate.

In appearance, Gens is a fairly basic tool. It provides the means to change the resolution, adjust colors, input a controller, load config files and so on. As long as you’re not looking for a particularly difficult game to install, you won’t need to use any of the above-mentioned settings or features.

However, the emulator before you is quite capable of a lot. To find out what it can do and how you can use it to its full potential, feel free to go through the Gens .txt file. It provides a detailed and well-structured information about all the settings and configuration you can apply.

To wrap it up, if you’re looking to emulate Sega games without the slightest difficulty, Gens is a good choice. With it, it’s a matter of a few clicks and several seconds, and it’s game on.
