BRSMS Download 1.20 4/22/99 DOS This is a Sega Master System and Game Gear emulator. It runs full speed on a 486 DX-66, and has sound emulated, including voice support. Most games are playable, although a few still do not work correctly. It even has serial cable support! It's definitely worth a download for those with slow computers, as well as those who want a great SMS/GG emulator which does not cost any money.

Windows (DirectX) These two emulators are part of a series of japanese *fan98 emulators. They are both for Windows, with SMSFAN98 and GGFan Plus emulating the Sega Master System and GameGear respectively. They are both pretty fast, and should run full speed on a P133. They both have sound support, and I *think* the ability to log MIDIs is included. However, both are shareware, have directional controls disabled, and cost 2000 yen to register. I know nothing else about these emulators, anyone able to translate the documentation, please e-mail me.

Massage Download

Download 0.61 source

0.80 2/4/98 DOS Massage is freeware once again. This is a good Sega Master system and GameGear emulator, as it runs over 90% of all games, and has excellent stereo sound emulation. However, James is now going back to the 'quiet life', and leaving Massage after 0.9. Stay tuned for the final release of Massage, coming soon.
MasterGear Download 1.0 12/6/96 DOS This emulator from Marat Fayzullin is horribly outdated, and it can't compete with Massage anymore, as it is slower, less accurate sound, and runs less games than Massage Version 0.8, so don't waste your time with this one.
MEKA Download 0.12 4/19/99 DOS Everone who has been waiting for a NESticle equivalent of a Sega Master System & GameGear emulator, look no furthur. Zoop's MEKA emulates the Sega Master System, GameGear, SG-1000 and SC-3000 (the last 2 are computers). It has a KILLER GUI, supports a very wide range of game, has sound support (you have to enable it), and supports many other 'extras' such as joystick support, lightgun emulation, save states, and so much more! I kid you not when I say this: MEKA is the SMS-GG emulator to end all SMS-GG emulators. It's also loaded with hidden 'easter eggs'! Download it now, you won't be sorry!
SMS Plus Download 0.6.8 1/10/99 DOS This is one of the newer Sega Master System/Game Gear emulators around. It runs full speed on any Pentium class machine, and has FM sound support. It has a lower compatibility rate than Massage, but it's still worth checking out for anyone who wants an alternative to Massage.
