You may be able to use it on other Unix-like systems if you're willing to compile it yourself. On systems without OpenGL 2 support, BlastEm will fallback to using SDL 2's render API. The current version depends on SDL 2, GLEW and OpenGL 2. There is experimental support for x86 Android devices like the Nexus Player, but due to the rough state of that port I am not providing pre-built binaries at this time. To my knowledge, it is the only emulator besides Genesis Plus GX that can properly display the 'TITAN 512C FOREVER' portion of Titan's Overdrive demo, and the only emulator besides Exodus that passes all 122 of the tests in Nemesis' VDP FIFO Testing ROM and can properly display 'Direct Color DMA' demos.īlastEm requires a computer with an x86 processor running Linux, OSX or Windows. It runs at full speed on an old first generation Intel Atom and can run Sonic 2 at around 600 fps on a Haswell desktop using a single core. Speed and accuracy should be sufficient for most purposes. BlastEm has the goal of being an extremely accurate Genesis emulator while still running on relatively modest hardware by using advanced techniques.Ĭurrently it meets neither my accuracy nor performance goals, but those goals are pretty high.
