DGen
it's all just a little bit of history repeating...

Dave's e-mail address has changed to dave@dtmnt.com
(This page is now only at www.dtmnt.com) DGen is a free Genesis/Megadrive emulator for Windows 95/98/2000 (and possibly NT) running under DirectX.
It has sound. Recommended computer is a Pentium-II.
DGen is open source, so you can download the source code and produce versions for other operating systems perhaps!

Dave 19th August 1999:
I haven't updated the DTMNT page in ages (or this page for that matter), BUT - as I'm sure most of you know - the MAME project continues to amaze: they have now emulated The Simpsons, TMNT2, X-Men and many other games, so head over to http://mame.retrogames.com/!
Do these guys never rest? ;)
(By the way, if you can't get the DOS version of MAME working, try the native Window version: MAME32.)
DGen/MacOS!
Richard Bannister and many others have been working hard to port DGen to MacOS and also have added a lot of code!
Questions specifically about the Mac version are probably best directed to them, since they know a lot more about Macs than I do.
New!:
DGen/Linux!!!
This version is by Joe Groff, who has also added loads of code!! His version uses the Simple Directmedia Layer (SDL) library.
The BeOS version page is also linked from Joe's page I think.


DGen v1.17 - dgen117.zip for Windows, now with Game Genie codes, SRAM support, Raster Effects and lots more (read what's new in dgen.txt), or DGen-DOS v1.04A - dgend104.zip (no sound)


Here is the v1.17 source dgens117.zip.

Here is the v1.15 source dgens115.zip.

Here is the v1.09 source dgens109.zip.


DGen has interlace mode support (as used in Sonic2 2-player).
The image to the right is a stretched version (made by resizing the DGen window). By eliminating the distortion, Sonic 2 may actually be better than the original!


Here is the original with its distorted image:
