			See [[Tile Molester\|here]] for more info. Please note that a large majority of games are compressed with some games able to rip just the main character or nothing at all without extra tools.

			GSavestate can view savestates created in Gens, like a simpler counterpart to vSNES. While it is rather old, it can be used to rip backgrounds, tiles and can palette hack. One advantage is that it can rip from 32X games that other emulators cannot do but only from the Genesis side so it depends on the game whether the sprites (Brutal Unleashed, Kolibri), the backgrounds (Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing Deluxe, T-MEK) or nothing can be ripped.

	===[[BizHawk]]===		===[[BizHawk]]===
	BizHawk uses the Genesis Plus GX emulator and adds a tile/background viewer. Like GensKMod though, you can disable the layers and turn the background pink (or any color). See below in regards to emulation quality.		BizHawk uses the Genesis Plus GX emulator and adds a tile/background viewer.

			===Exodus===
			Exodus is an emulator that focuses on debugging. There is a palette viewer, VDP Viewer and also a background viewer but sadly not printscreenable. Other downsides are that it requires a fairly powerful computer, the screen has an unremovable blur filter and can only support the Genesis.

	===[[TiledGGD]]===		===[[TiledGGD]]===
	TiledGGD can be used on selected racing games that do not used the standard 8x8 tile layout. Examples include Road Rash series, Outlander, Road Riot 4WD (Prototype) and the Sega CD Jaguar XJ220 (only for the car as it is non-standard and is framebuffered in game, it is the PLAYER.DAT file in the BIN+CUE).

			It can also rip from 32X games too but mileage may vary. Either 4bpp Linear (Genesis mode), 8bpp Linear (32X mode) or 16bpp in the case of the options menu in Space Harrier.

	===BlastEm===		===BlastEm===
			Despite being a newer emulator, BlastEm is a fast and an accurate emulator that supports the Genesis as well as the Master System using the backwards compatibility mode. Even able to run tech demos such as Titan Overdrive that Kega Fusion and other emulators struggle with. Just like Kega Fusion, it works on Windows, Mac and Linux. In the future, there are plans for Sega CD and 32X emulation as well as a better GUI (currently it is using a ROM based menu).

			A successor to bsnes/higan that supports multiple systems including the Genesis, Sega CD and 32X. It is the most accurate 32X emulator due to both Gens and Kega Fusion having hacks, only Fahrenheit doesn't work out of the entire library. Downsides is that it requires a powerful computer to get full speed and can have annoying sound clicks, some games may have graphic glitches that pop up.

	After Kega Fusion but before BlastEm, this was considered the most accurate emulator due to its sound and emulation in regards to compatibility running most games including Virtua Racing. It runs Sega CD games as well but not 32X due to its platform choice of that it can not cope. While it was developed with the Wii in mind, you can play on it on your PC via RetroArch or BizHawk.

			===Mednafen===

			While not having any debugging features, it does include a layer removal feature. It should also be noted that this emulator will not run Sega CD or 32X games.
