permalink · January 17th, 2002

Kega is excellent and I am a confirmed fan of Steve Snake's ever since K-Gen 98. But I tested Kega against the lastest version of Gens and I must say that, at least to me, Gens is still the better Genesis emulator. Stef (the author of Gens) has improved the sound of Gens so now when you pick up treasures in Gauntlet 4, it sounds right. Also Gens will run in 32BPP color mode, where Kega only runs in 16BBP mode. Gens has GG cheats, Kega does not, Gens has 2x SAI graphics mode, Kega doesn't, and Gens has true fullscreen mode, where Kega dosen't. As far as sound, Gens is equal w/Kega but not better and colors are equally accurate in both emus. I realize that this is only the first release of Kega, but, as far as I'm concerned, Gens is still the better Genesis emu. Also Gens Sega CD emu plays Audio from the CDs, but Kega's Sega CD emu doesn't, yet.
sincerely,
