Introduction

Regen is a new Sega Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Windows developed (There is a linux port avaiable though) by AamirM written for maximum accuracy. The compatibility is probably at or near 100% for licensed games. About the accuracy, well, Regen already runs many games even more accurately than Kega Fusion. Everything has been accurately emulated to the last detail.
