The Free 6502 emulator is a portable, extensible and configurable library for emulating the 6502 processor, used in many older computers and video games. It is aimed at reliability and speed, to allow it to be used to emulate any system based on the 6502.

This is a simple and not very featureful Bash front-end to the NES emulator FCE Ultra. My primary goal was to create a simple, easy to access and easy to use front-end to the novice user who just wants to click an icon and start playing their games without worrying about compiling source code and downloading/compiling missing dependencies, etc. FCE Ultra is not included with this download so make sure you install it yourself. This is just a front-end.

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.

Game Boy Advance Emulator

Flip8 is a fully-featured Chip8 emulator written in Actionscript2. It includes SChip-8 emulation, sound, and all known games for the system.

Implementation of a emulator of a RISC based platform for educational purposes.

Frodo is a free, portable Commodore 64 emulator that runs on a variety of desktop operating systems and mobile platforms.

A small interface written in Gambas3 for command line FS-UAE Linux Amiga emulator.

It is a lejos emulator for the lego RCX. It can be used to test your code without having to go through the painful process of continuously uploading the code to the RCX. It does this by providing a emulation of the major parts of the lejos library.

Give your old-school game collection some gas with GFuel! Turn your old throwaway machine into a high-octane gaming powerhouse by consolidating your old-school ROM collection into a single attractive user interface.

Games are loaded from your iPhone's documents directory. In iTunes, drop .gb or .gbc files into the Giovanni app documents folder, and they'll show up automatically on your Apple Watch. When you play a game for the first time, it'll download to your watch and get cached in the watch's documents directory. Subsequent loads are immediate. Emulator saving and loading is automatic and happen whenever the app gets closed/inactivated or opened/activated. In-game saving and loading is completely separate. If for some reason the emulator save gets corrupted, force-touching the screen will bring up the option to reset the emulator, allowing you to resume your in-game save.

Gkvm is a gnome interface who simplify creation an use of KVM linux virtual machines.

GSnes9x is a GNOME front-end for the Snes9X SNES emulator. It allows setting and preservation of options for each ROM, and keeps a Cheat Codes database, an unlimited amount of codes can be stored.

Mohanson GameBoy is a minimalist Game Boy emulator project focused on clarity, experimentation, and educational value rather than full compatibility or performance optimization. It is designed as a clean implementation of the Game Boy architecture, typically written in a high-level language such as Python or Rust depending on the version, making it approachable for developers studying emulator design. The project emphasizes core components such as CPU instruction decoding, memory management, and basic graphics rendering, providing insight into how the original hardware operates. It is often used as a learning tool for understanding low-level system emulation, including timing, interrupts, and cartridge handling. Compared to more advanced emulators, it may lack full feature parity or optimization, but it compensates with readability and conceptual transparency. Its modular structure allows developers to extend or modify individual components for experimentation.

A basic gameboy emulator with terminal "Cloud Gaming" support. Gameboy.Live is a Gameboy emulator written in go for learning purposes. You can simply play Gameboy games on your desktop. Or, "Cloud Game" in your terminal with a single command (The demo server is down now, you have to deploy on your own server) You can directly download the executable file from the Release page, or build it from the source. Go Version 1.11 or higher is required. Run go version to check what the version currently installed is. On Debian-based systems, the packages libasound2-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev must be installed. You can use Gameboy.Live as a "Cloud Gaming" server, where players use telnet to play Gameboy games in the terminal without additional software installation required.
