Emulators with useful features:
  • Gens KMod. This contains some excellent debugging features and is fairly straightforward to use.
  • Exodus. This has perhaps the most debugging features. The Plane Viewer is really great for seeing how planes are scrolling, and there are a ton of other useful tools.
  • BlastEm. This is a highly accurate emulator and displays some things such as CRAM dots or the column scrolling bug that Gens or Fusion don’t. The CRAM viewer is useful for identifying mid-frame palette swaps.
  • Gens Re-Recording. A very useful tool for recording gameplay videos, and it lets you advance frame-by-frame to get a better look at effects.
