Locale Emulator
Yet another system region and language simulator
Locale Emulator is a tool similar to AppLocale and NTLEA, providing a simulation function that can make an application recognize your OS as in a language other than the real one. It is quite useful when you are trying to play country-specific games. Locale Emulator is compatible with the following systems, both 32 and 64-bit, Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. Locale Emulator supports 32-bit executables running on both 32-bit or 64-bit systems. For example, if you are using 64-bit WinRAR, you will not see the context menu on a RAR file unless you swapped 64-bit WinRAR with the 32-bit version. Clone the repo using Git, install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 / 2017, open LocaleEmulator.sln, perform build action, clone and build the core libraries, and copy LoaderDll.dll and LocaleEmulator.dll from Locale-Emulator-Core to Locale-Emulator build folder. -

Proton-GE-Custom
Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine
Proton-GE-Custom is an unofficial compatibility tool for Steam Play that builds on Valve’s Proton and Wine codebases to provide additional patches, fixes, and enhancements for running Windows games on Linux systems through Steam, particularly on Steam Deck and other Linux gaming platforms. Unlike the official Proton builds, this custom fork includes community-developed patches such as media foundation support, raw input improvements, AMD and Nvidia optimizations, and broader compatibility tweaks that help certain games launch and run more reliably or with better performance. It also incorporates a “protonfixes” system that applies per-game adjustments automatically, enabling environment variables or workarounds without manual user intervention. Because it packages its own versions of DXVK, VKD3D, and other components, this tool can resolve glitches or missing features in titles that struggle under standard Proton builds. -

Ruffle
A Flash Player emulator written in Rust
Ruffle is an open-source emulator for Adobe Flash Player, written primarily in Rust, and targeted at both desktop applications and web browsers via WebAssembly. Its goal is to enable legacy Flash content—animations, games, interactive media—to continue running safely and reliably after official Flash support was discontinued. On the web side, Ruffle is embedded into pages or installed as a browser extension; in the desktop version, it can open .swf files directly or embed them in applications. Because it’s built with memory safety in mind, Ruffle helps avoid many of the security vulnerabilities that plagued classic Flash (buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.). It strives to support multiple versions of ActionScript (1, 2 and parts of 3) and a wide swath of the Flash API so as much content as possible works unchanged. -

MAME
MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework
MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus. The MAME project as a whole is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, 2 (GPL-2.0), since it contains code made available under multiple GPL-compatible licenses. -

melonDS
DS emulator, sorta
melonDS aims at providing fast and accurate Nintendo DS emulation. While it is still a work in progress, it has a pretty solid set of features. Firmware boot (not direct boot) requires a BIOS/firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly. DS BIOS dumps from a DSi or 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues. -

DuckStation
Fast PlayStation 1 emulator for x86-64/AArch32/AArch64
DuckStation is an simulator/emulator of the Sony PlayStation(TM) console, focusing on playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices. "Hack" options are discouraged, the default configuration should support all playable games with only some of the enhancements having compatibility issues. A "BIOS" ROM image is required to to start the emulator and to play games. You can use an image from any hardware version or region, although mismatching game regions and BIOS regions may have compatibility issues. A ROM image is not provided with the emulator for legal reasons, you should dump this from your own console using Caetla or other means. DuckStation features a fully-featured frontend built using Qt, as well as a fullscreen/TV UI based on Dear ImGui. -

BizHawk
BizHawk is a multi-system emulator written in C#
A multi-system emulator written in C#. As well as quality-of-life features for casual players, it also has recording/playback and debugging tools, making it the first choice for TASers (Tool-Assisted Speedrunners). Screenshotting and recording audio + video to file. Firmware management, input, framerate, and more in a HUD over the game. Rebindable hotkeys for controlling the frontend (keyboard+mouse+gamepad). A comprehensive input mapper for the emulated gamepads and other peripherals. Programmatic control over core and frontend with Lua or C#.NET. Development builds are made automatically whenever someone contributes. Because of this, we recommend using a release for work that requires stability (such as TASing), and only switching to a dev build if there's a specific change or addition you need. -

emuiibo
Virtual amiibo (amiibo emulation) system for Nintendo Switch
Virtual amiibo (amiibo emulation) system for Nintendo Switch. A virtual amiibo is detected by emuiibo based on two aspects: a amiibo.json and a amiibo.flag file must exist inside the virtual amiibo's folder mentioned above. If (for whatever reason) you would like to disable a virtual amiibo from being recognised by emuiibo, just remove the flag file, and create it again to enable it. While old emuiibo formats are supported and converted to the current format (see above), it is strongly suggested to, unless bin dumps might be indispensable, emuiigen be used, our PC utility designed to create and edit virtual amiibos. -

Winetricks
Winetricks is an easy way to work around problems in Wine
Winetricks is a helper script for the Wine compatibility layer that simplifies the process of configuring Wine environments, installing needed Windows components, and applying tweaks to make applications run better or at all under Wine. Wine itself provides a runtime for Windows applications on Unix-like systems, but when programs require specific DLLs, components like .NET frameworks, fonts, or special settings, users would traditionally have to manually fetch and configure them; Winetricks automates these tasks with an easy interface. It ships with a menu or command-line options that let you select common workarounds, install missing packages, or tweak settings like Windows version emulation without digging into registry edits yourself. This makes troubleshooting and preparing Wine prefixes more accessible for end users and reduces the frustration of missing dependencies, especially with games or legacy business software.
