'''Regen''' is a new Sega [[Mega Drive]]/Genesis emulator for Windows (although there is a Linux port) developed 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.
