Another emulator called was released around the same time by Bloodlust Software and a friendly rivalry began. This was a based emulator and ran on high end or faster hardware, but required at least a for full speed. KGen-X [ ] KGen-X was an aborted of KGen which was never released to the public. KGen98 (1998) [ ] KGen98 was a new version of KGen rewritten from scratch, with better compatibility, more features and higher quality stereo sound. Still DOS based, its CPU requirements were about the same as its predecessor but slightly higher for the high quality sound mode and 16-bit video with raster effects and shadow/highlight modes enabled.

Afterwards, Steve Snake was officially commissioned by to create a -compatible version which was marketed by Sega with some classic games as the '. Kega (2002) [ ] After a long break from the emulation scene, Steve Snake surprised many fans with the sudden release of Kega, an all new Windows/ based emulator.

Snake originally started Kega because he was trying to help Stef fix some incompatibility issues.

Kega Lazarus (2003) [ ] Kega Lazarus was so named because it was an attempt to get the emulator up to date after a hard disk crash caused Steve Snake to lose all his Kega sources since 0.02b (0.04b being the final release of Kega). A notable feature during the development of Lazarus was the addition of support - although incomplete. Kega Fusion (2004) [ ] The final (and current) version of Kega is named 'Fusion', because it is in spirit a fusion of Kega and Kega Lazarus with even more features and compatibility.

It was the first version to support hardware accelerated via, as well as vastly improved 32X support. Previously, Kega Fusion used version number 0.1 with a letter and ' suffix, with the last revision being 0.1e.

The next release was labeled Kega Fusion 3.0 beta, as Snake explained that the low version number made some people shy away; sub-1.0 version software is commonly believed to be incomplete and unstable (most and programs are indefinitely in a beta-like state as there is no need to go ).

The 'beta' moniker was dropped after version 3.2 for the same reason. On 2008, Kega Fusion 3.52i, the first build for, was released, whilst on September 28, 2009 a pre-compiled version, Kega Fusion 3.62x, was released.
