EightyOne Sinclair Emulator
Emulates the range of ZX home computers made by Sinclair Research Ltd
EightyOne is an emulator for the range of ZX home computers made by Sinclair Research (and their clones) in the 1980s, primarily the ZX80 and ZX81 but also includes the ZX Spectrum models. As well as emulating the machines themselves, various add-on interfaces are supported, including storage devices, hi-res graphics, custom character sets, sound and colour cards. EightyOne was created by Michael D Wynne. Michael is no longer actively developing the emulator, but has made the code open source so that others can continue to extend it with new functionality. This archive collates as many of the original release versions of the emulator as possible, including the source code for them where available. Versions up to 1.0a were produced by Michael, with all later versions created by others. -

98.js
Web-based Windows 98 desktop recreation
98 is a web-based recreation of the Windows 98 operating system that runs entirely in the browser, replicating the look, feel, and behavior of the classic desktop environment. Built using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, it recreates core components such as the desktop, taskbar, file explorer, and system applications with remarkable attention to detail. The project includes functional versions of programs like Notepad, Calculator, Minesweeper, and even a simulated Internet Explorer, providing an interactive nostalgic experience. It uses a virtual filesystem to store user data and supports drag-and-drop functionality, enabling users to interact with files similarly to a real operating system. The interface is highly polished, with support for themes, animations, and even hidden easter eggs that mimic the quirks of the original Windows 98 experience. While not a true emulator, it effectively simulates the user interface and behavior of the OS in a browser environment. -

Android Emulator Container Scripts
Minimal scripts to run the emulator in a container for various systems
android-emulator-container-scripts turns the Android Emulator into a cloud-native service you can run in Docker and Kubernetes, so teams can provision ephemeral Android devices on demand. It includes scripts and container images that configure the emulator for headless operation, wire up networking, and expose endpoints for ADB and web access. A built-in WebRTC bridge lets you stream the emulator screen to a browser with interactive input, which is ideal for CI dashboards, remote debugging, or demo environments. The project focuses on reproducibility and scale: you define which system image to boot, how to persist or reset data, and how many instances to run, then schedule them like any other workload. GPU acceleration, audio, and sensors can be enabled depending on your host and cluster capabilities, while fallbacks like SwiftShader keep things usable when no GPU is available. -

QEMU
iPhone 11 emulated on QEMU
QEMU is a specialized fork of the QEMU emulator designed to emulate Apple iPhone hardware, particularly devices based on the T8030 chip such as the iPhone 11. It extends QEMU’s general-purpose machine emulation capabilities by introducing support for Apple-specific hardware components and boot processes. The project enables researchers to boot and run versions of iOS, including the ability to restore firmware images and interact with the system through debugging tools. It relies on dynamic binary translation and system-level emulation to simulate the ARM-based architecture used in modern iPhones. Due to the complexity of Apple’s ecosystem, the emulator requires extensive patching of the kernel and firmware to function correctly, making it primarily a research and experimentation tool. It has been used in security research contexts to explore iOS internals, including kernel behavior and system services. -

Remix OS
Android OS for Windows PC systems
Remix OS is a free Android version made by Jide, the company behind this operating system. This OS comes with certain basic Android features adding some missing functions that are present for Mac and Windows users. You install it on a USB and boot directly from that. It’s compatible with Intel and AMD processors, so it runs on almost any machine, and unlike other solutions, it has a dedicated desktop user interface just like the operating system you’re already used to. That means that when you open an app, it doesn’t take up the whole screen like it would on an Android tablet; it opens in its own window like any other desktop program. This allows you to use Chrome alongside Word, or Google Maps, or YouTube, or just about any other Android app. Remix OS is totally free to download and use. This is an alternative to running an Android Emulator for Windows. -

FabGL
ESP32 Display Controller (VGA, PAL/NTSC Color Composite, SSD1306, ST77
FabGL is mainly a Graphics Library for ESP32. It implements several display drivers (VGA output, PAL/NTSC Color Composite, I2C and SPI displays). FabGL can also get input from a PS/2 Keyboard and a Mouse. FabGL implements also: an Audio Engine (DAC and Sigma-Delta), a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a Game Engine and an ANSI/VT Terminal. VGA output requires an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC): it can be done by three 270 Ohm resistors to have 8 colors, or by 6 resistors to have 64 colors. Composite output doesn't require external components (maybe a 5Mhz low pass filter). An unlimited number of sprites are supported. However big sprites and a large amount of them reduce the frame rate and could generate flickering. When there is enough memory (on low resolutions like 320x200), it is possible to allocate two screen buffers, so to implement double buffering. In this case primitives are always drawn on the back buffer. -

GramAddict
Completely free and open-source human-like Instagram bot
GramAddict is a fully open-source Instagram automation bot designed to simulate human-like interaction on Android devices using UI automation rather than direct API calls. It operates through ADB and UIAutomator2, meaning it interacts with the Instagram app as if it were a real user, reducing the risk of detection compared to API-based bots. The tool can automate a wide range of actions such as liking posts, following users, sending messages, and browsing content, all while introducing randomized delays and behaviors to mimic human activity. It supports both physical devices and emulators, making it flexible for different deployment environments. The project also includes advanced filtering and targeting capabilities, allowing users to define specific audiences based on hashtags, locations, or user attributes. Additionally, it provides reporting features via Telegram, giving users real-time feedback on bot performance. -

Mobile Next
Model Context Protocol Server for Mobile Automation and Scraping
Mobile Next is a Model Context Protocol server designed to enable scalable, AI-driven mobile automation across both iOS and Android environments through a unified interface. It abstracts away platform-specific complexities, allowing developers and AI agents to interact with mobile devices using a consistent set of commands regardless of operating system. The system supports real devices, emulators, and simulators, making it suitable for testing, automation, and data extraction workflows in diverse development setups. One of its key innovations is its hybrid interaction model, which combines structured accessibility data with fallback screenshot-based analysis to ensure reliable automation even in complex UI scenarios. It is built to integrate seamlessly with modern AI agents, enabling multi-step workflows such as automated testing, form filling, and user journey simulation. -

ProjectPSX
Experimental C# Playstation Emulator
ProjectPSX is an experimental PlayStation 1 emulator written entirely in C# that focuses on learning and exploring console hardware through a clean and dependency-free implementation. The project emulates key components of the PS1 architecture, including the MIPS R3000A CPU, GPU, DMA controller, and CD-ROM subsystem, all interconnected through a custom bus system. Unlike production-grade emulators, ProjectPSX is intentionally designed as a transparent and educational codebase, prioritizing simplicity and readability over full compatibility or performance optimization. It includes a software-based rasterizer for rendering 3D graphics and supports features such as memory cards, basic BIOS functionality, and controller input mapping. The emulator can run many commercial games to varying degrees, although timing inaccuracies and missing features can still cause instability.
