So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.
I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.
It’s an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.
Very interesting, I’m surprised it works as well as it does. I also have nostalgia for emulation - namely using no$gb (no cash gameboy) via DOS (I think) to play Pokemon Red and Blue.
I just checked and the emulator is still around and you can get the DOS version but it looks to be a much later version than the I one I used in ~97
Bleem! and Nesticle are also quite nostalgic for me too.
