Pick MEKA if…
MEKA is aimed especially at programmers and people working with Sega 8-bit systems, uncommon games, or hardware. Its maker says it has limited use for the average player.
Pick Provenance if…
Provenance suits Apple-platform users seeking an emulator frontend for a broad range of retro systems. Users should check whether their device can handle the systems they want to run, and note that a BIOS is required.
