I've been using retroarch with the Genesis Plus GX core, and that seems to work well and is open source. Not everyone loves retroarch, but I've moved to it so I can use some of the more interesting HDR 4k CRT shaders

Eh, if it's installed on your machine you get to keep whatever it is. I have both Kega and Retroarch installed for Genesis emulation anf it's alright. I think Ares does that too?
This is true. However, I'm more thinking of about future people who may not have had a chance to download it before it's taken down.
Also, I've never heard of Ares. Is that a RetroArch core or a standalone Sega MS/MD/Gen emulator?
Ares is a standalone emulator that also does Nintendo and PC Engine consoles. Very versatile.
That's pretty cool.
You're talking about this, right?
Yup, that one.
Nice! Thanks, I might check it out. :)
I haven't tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.
Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here's the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.
Doesn't Retroarch just use the cores of other emulators? It's more of a frontend. I think that for early Genesis stuff it uses Gens.
Oh hell yeah. Thanks, I didn't realize those were some alternatives. I appreciate you. :)
