Freedo was the first emulator of the Panasonic 3DO, and it is the only one that runs many games of it. Although it's compatibility list is not so big, it still runs more than the rest.

It also has "cheat" add-on, which you can install and the program sends the cheats into the emulator's video plug-in, by which you can easily browse and use the cheats for different games.
Kega Fusion is the most popular and easy to use emulator, which is not only for Sega Genesis and Sega CD, but also emulates Sega Master System, GameGear, and the 32X. The compatibility list of Kega Fusion is almost complete, and it emulates some of the system most accurately than other emulators.
