'''DGen''' is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] emulator written by Dave, the same author of many other emulators such as [[FinalBurn]]. It was originally developed only for Microsoft Windows (though version 1.04a was also released for DOS), and later ported to a variety of systems.

'''DGen''' is [[Sega Mega Drive]] emulator originally written by Dave.  It runs on many operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Linux and the BSDs. Versions until 1.04a were released for DOS, but these never had sound support. Since then, a newer version using SDL as a backend has been released, named '''DGen/SDL'''. There is also a [[PlayStation Portable]] release called Syn-Z  [http://dl.qj.net/DGEN-for-PSP-v1.50-(Firmware-1.50)-Wi-Fi-IR-Apps-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/7727/catid/189]

DGen/SDL is actively maintained by Zamaz and a hanful of other developers. Since the demise legacy Dgen, the newer Dgen/SDL has seen the addition of video filters, a vi-like command interface, region autoselection and a m68k debugger. Releases occur roughly twice a year.

DGen
System(s): Sega Mega Drive
OS: Windows, DOS, PlayStation Portable, Xbox, Mac OS X
Developer: Dave (1999-2000), Joe Groff (2001), Bertrand "Tamentis" Janin, Zamaz (2008-2014); Syn-Z (PlayStation Portable); XPort (Xbox); Richard Bannister (Mac OS X)
Programmed in: C++
Last release date: (9 years ago)
Last version: 1.33

DGen is a Sega Mega Drive emulator written by Dave, the same author of many other emulators such as FinalBurn. It was originally developed only for Microsoft Windows (though version 1.04a was also released for DOS), and later ported to a variety of systems.

A port of DGen using SDL as a backend, under the name DGen/SDL, was written by Joe Groff, whom worked on it until July 2001. Although Joe Groff focused on Linux, the use of SDL allowed easy adaptation for other Unix systems such as BeOS and BSD.

In 2008 Bertrand "Tamentis" Janin created a Sourceforge project for DGen/SDL, releasing the source code of version 1.23, in an attempt to revive it. Zamaz and a handful of other developers subsequently restarted development in 2011, updating it actively until 2014. Compared to the original emulator, DGen/SDL has seen the addition of new features - video filters, a vi-like command interface, region auto-selection and a m68k debugger.

There is also a PlayStation Portable port[2], and a 3D stereoscopic version of DGen called D-DGen,[3] both developed by Syn-Z. Xbox and Mac OS X ports were developed by XPort and Richard Bannister respectively.
