Genecyst
Encyclopedia : G : GE : GEN : Genecyst
Genecyst was a popular Sega Genesis/Sega Megadrive emulator for DOS, by Bloodlust Software (the same team that made NESticle). Until the release of Gens, it was widely regarded to be the best Genesis/Megadrive emulator with the nearest competitor being KGen.
Although Genecyst does not have Gens' wide range of features, the older emulator typically runs faster, making it more usable on older CPUs.
Genecyst is no longer updated.
Genecyst was, again, a DOS based emulator made for Windows 95, 98 and other older processors and machines. An Intel Pentium is needed for full speed emulation, and since all computers evolved since the Pentium, you can run it on most computers. When you start Genecyst, you will be greeted with a small tool bar on the top that looks like it's dripping blood, because its made by Bloodlust Software. Click on file and click on open and choose your ROM. A ROM is a file that contains a dumped (meaning that it was copied from a cartridge) game from almost any system. Once open, just start playing. Another emulator Kega Fusion is just as good, if not better, especially with its release of version 3.5.
