RPCS3 is an open-source PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger, allowing users to run PS3 games and software on Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. It aims to preserve the legacy of the PlayStation 3 by enabling gameplay and software testing beyond the original hardware's lifespan. The project has made significant progress in compatibility and performance, supporting a wide range of PS3 titles.

Inferno by ChefKissInc is a low-level systems project focused on enabling hardware acceleration and advanced graphics compatibility on Apple Silicon devices, particularly within unsupported or experimental environments. It is designed to bridge gaps between macOS hardware capabilities and software ecosystems that traditionally rely on different GPU architectures, such as those found in Linux or Windows environments. The project typically operates at the intersection of kernel extensions, GPU drivers, and virtualization layers, aiming to unlock performance features that are otherwise restricted or unavailable. ...

VirtualBox is a powerful open-source full virtualization software that allows a user to run one or more “guest” operating systems simultaneously inside “virtual machines” on a single physical “host” machine. It supports a wide variety of host platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, etc.) and guest OSes, enabling, for example, running Linux on a Windows PC, running Windows Server on a Linux host, or even legacy OSes in a controlled environment. This flexibility makes VirtualBox ideal for...

JSNES is a JavaScript-based emulator that replicates the functionality of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), enabling classic games to run directly in web browsers or Node.js environments. It implements the core components of NES hardware, including the CPU, graphics processing unit, and audio system, to deliver an accurate emulation experience. The project is designed as a library, allowing developers to embed emulation capabilities into web applications or custom interfaces. It includes support for rendering graphics via canvas, handling audio output, and processing input from keyboards or gamepads. ...

Xenia is an open-source experimental emulator for the Xbox 360 that aims to let users run Xbox 360 games on Windows and other platforms by reverse-engineering the console’s hardware and firmware behavior in software. It implements the 360’s CPU (Xenon), GPU (including Direct3D shader logic), and system libraries to translate Xbox instructions into equivalent host machine operations, enabling many titles to launch and in some cases play at improved frame rates compared with the original...

...is an open-source cross-platform emulator for Sony’s PlayStation 2 that aims to run PS2 games on a wide range of modern systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and web browsers by implementing core PS2 hardware functionality in software. It emulates primary components like the Emotion Engine CPU and graphics synthesizer, translating game code and hardware calls into host system operations, while providing users with controls to load disc images, manage states, and configure rendering options. Because the PS2’s architecture is complex and proprietary, Play! pursues compatibility incrementally, with many titles playable to varying degrees and an active compatibility tracker detailing individual game status. ...

...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.

Emutils are a collection of utilities for dealing with files which are in formats most commonly used by Commodore 64 emulators (D64, D71, D81, etc). These include search tools, extractors, converters, archive tools, etc. especially for batch operations.

NES emulator written entirely in Go, aimed at accurately reproducing classic Nintendo Entertainment System games in a modern, cross-platform environment. It reimplements the NES hardware in software, including CPU, PPU (graphics), and APU (audio), and then presents the output using OpenGL for video and PortAudio for sound. The emulator supports a menu mode where, if you point it at a directory instead of a single ROM, it scans all ROMs and shows a game selection screen with thumbnails fetched from an online database keyed by each ROM’s MD5 hash. ...

...Built with Emscripten, the project compiles the original DOSBox C/C++ codebase into a format that can execute efficiently in a browser environment, bringing near-native performance to web-based emulation. This allows users to launch and interact with DOS programs without installing any software locally, significantly lowering the barrier to accessing retro PC software. The emulator supports a large portion of DOSBox functionality, including CPU emulation, graphics rendering, and input handling, although some edge cases may still present limitations due to browser constraints. One of its key challenges is file persistence, as the default in-browser filesystem is temporary unless explicitly extended.

A pure python module for emulating V100 terminal. It supports most of important escape sequences like cursor positioning, graphics rendition and etc. A demo(requires wxPython) also included which emulates terminal programs like bash, emacs, vi and etc.

EternalNGE is a cross-platform software framework for developing emulators/simulators providing generic interfaces for graphics, sound, etc. The primary focus is on game-consoles though the design allows for any device using i2c, memory mapped io, etc.

OpenGLide is a Glide to OpenGL wrapper. It emulates a Voodoo board so you can run old Windows Glide games by translating Glide calls into OpenGL. The CVS code moved to https://github.com/fcbarros/openglide.

OpenGL to ES realtime translator with extra profiling and debugging capabilities. It translates OpenGL calls into OpenGL ES and forwards them to the underlying OpenGL ES implementation DLL. Can also wrap on the standard OpenGL impl with ES simulation.

PCEmu is a software-only PC emulator. It emulates an 8086-based machine with VGA text graphics, EMS memory, host file system access, and `hardware' debugging. It runs DOS and most programs correctly.
