EMULATION

With the almighty power of video game emulation, every classic CD RPG can be played right on your computer! Yup, it's true. They emulate almost 100% accurate to the real thing too. There's not much of a need to own the real thing. The only drawback is that Sega CD emulation is Windows-only at the moment.

>> SEGA CD/MEGA CD

Sega CD/Mega CD emulators can emulate Sega CD games via the real thing (or a CD-R copy) through your CD-ROM, or through ISO files on your computer. Currently in the 2020s, the best emulator for Sega CD/Mega CD is RetroArch using the "Genesis Plus GX" core. You may have heard of Kega Fusion or Gens for Sega CD/Mega CD emulation. Unfortunately, those emulators haven't been updated in over a decade, so they are not recommended. If you need help with getting up and running with RetroArch, check out my help site: Video Game Emulation for Newbies

>> TURBOGRAFX16-CD

Turbografx16-CD (or PC Engine CD) emulators can emulate these games via the real thing (or a CD-R copy) through your CD-ROM, or through ISO files on your computer. Currently in the 2020s, the best emulator is RetroArch using the "Beetle PCE" core.
