"Genecyst is a DOS based emulator for the Sega Genesis.  The 68K, Z80, DAC,
digital FM emulation and graphics rendering were written from *scratch* in
assembly. The rest is in C++.  It is freeware and it is not to be distributed
with game ROMs and it is not to be modified or sold."
What is emulated:
 - 68000 CPU @ 8Mhz

  | Sonic 3D Blast |  
   
  - Z80 secondary CPU @ 4Mhz
 
 - DAC output

 - H/V interrupts
 
 - Dual 4-button/7-button joypad emulation

  | Mega Man: The Wily Wars |  
   
  - Game genie codes
 
 - Rom checksum fixer
 
 - Wave output logging
  
What it lacks:
 - Digital FM emulation needs much work
 
 - Stereo FM (probably not worth it)
 
 - Graphic equalizer
 
 - 68000 emulation is still buggy
 
 - Z80 emulation still buggy
 
 - H-ints aren't emulated correctly I dont think
 
 - Shadow/highlighting effects
 
 - Interlaced modes
 
 - Netplay
 
 - Many games do not work correctly (or at all).
 
 - Dont bother me if a ROM doesn't work.
