Exodus, a new MD/GEN emulator

The author put a lot of effort into implementing perfect timing synchronization, which is great if you're after an authentic experience (apart from playing on the machine itself)

The caveat of course is a ridiculously high CPU requirement.

Awesome! I'm all for 100% accuracy in emulators. I'll have to check this one out.

The whole thing about it actually being a generic emulator platform is really exciting to me. Can't wait to see what doors this opens for better emulation of other consoles.

The project looks interesting, and I like the design philosophy. Looks like the creator hasn't decided on a license for the source code yet though.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

I'd love to be enthusiastic. But a closed source emulator built with visual studio is a dead end. More emulator authors should strive to be like byuu. Bsnes, open source and written in portable C++, has preserved the SNES *forever*. This Genesis emulator will be obsolete as soon as either x86 or Windows is, which is looking more and more likely as time goes on.

They do say that the code is supposed to be documentation, so maybe they'll release the source eventually. But requiring a VC runtime does not bode well for portability. They haven't even bothered to include a license in the program archive yet.

I've downloaded this a while ago, but I haven't played with it yet.

Is it better than KEGA Fusion? That emulator is 100% flawless in my book.

My thoughts exactly. Snake's Kega Fusion runs every Genesis, 32X, and Sega CD game flawlessly. What does Exodus do that Kega Fusion can't?

Basically what i wanted to post. KEGA Fusion is excellent, there is no game, no matter how obscure, that i haven't run flawlessly.

Kega Fusion have really big downgrade for me -- bad support for X360 gamepad.
I can use only direct directional buttons. (No up/right down/left etc.)
Sorry for my engrish :)
