− | '''Gens''' is a [[Sega Genesis]] emulator programmed by [[Stéphane Dallongeville]]. It runs on Windows systems (using DirectX) and on Linux (using Simple DirectMedia Layer). The earliest semi-funcitional release (only capable of debuging [[68000]] instructions) dates from 1999. As of September 2004, the current version (2.12b) advertises full compatibility with "92%" of all Genesis games. As with all emulators, games or [[ROM]] images are not included and have to be downloaded or obtained (copied) separately.

− | Gens also supports running [[Sega CD]] and [[Sega 32X]] games if provided with the respective BIOSs, which are not provided with the emulator. In addition, [[Game Genie]] codes allowing games to run with cheats are supported.

− | Another feature is support for the [[Kaillera Client]], which allows games on the Gens emulator (as well as other emulators) to be played over a LAN or the Internet. However, on Gens at least, this is not as smooth a process as one would hope; a common problem is that on either PC, the other player appears to be a few seconds behind (lag); this may result in them appearing to attack non-existent enemies for example.

− | Gens can also record what buttons are pressed and slow the gameplay down so it is used in making of tool-assisted speedruns.
