    Mininet

    Mininet

    Emulator for rapid prototyping of Software Defined Networks

    Mininet creates a realistic virtual network, running real kernel, switch and application code, on a single machine (VM, cloud or native), in seconds, with a single command. Because you can easily interact with your network using the Mininet CLI (and API), customize it, share it with others, or deploy it on real hardware, Mininet is useful for development, teaching, and research. Mininet is also a great way to develop, share, and experiment with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) systems using OpenFlow and P4. Mininet is actively developed and supported, and is released under a permissive BSD Open Source license. We encourage you to contribute code, bug reports/fixes, documentation, and anything else that can improve the system! Links are virtual ethernet pairs, which live in the Linux kernel and connect our emulated switches to emulated hosts (processes).

    pfeMAME

    pfeMAME

    Python front end for MAME that can run in Linux, Windows, and MacOS

    pfeMAME is a front end for the Multiple Arcade Game Emulator (MAME) written in (wx)Python. It is cross platform (tested on Linux (Ubuntu), Windows (7, 8, 10, 11), and MacOS. ). It also includes a graphical Tile View designed for MAME cabinets which allows control using joystick / gamepad. It supports favourite game flagging, MESS systems, Software Lists (for systems), per-rom input mapping, and launching of other emulation engines. pfeMAME was written by Gareth Finch and the development project started in 2014 . The goal was to create a MAME front end that was simple, as easy as possible to get into, and had some good documentation. It doesn't provide access to every single MAME option, but pretty much all of the relevant ones you will use from day-to-day. You are free to distribute pfeMAME and modify its source as you wish, however pfeMAME is not to be sold or repackaged for commercial sale.

    Android Emulator Container Scripts

    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.

    PyBoy

    PyBoy

    Game Boy emulator written in Python

    It is highly recommended to read the report to get a light introduction to Game Boy emulation. But do be aware, that the Python implementation has changed a lot. The report is relevant, even though you want to contribute to another emulator or create your own. If you are looking to make a bot or AI, you can find all the external components in the PyBoy Documentation. There is also a short example on our Wiki page Scripts, AI and Bots as well as in the examples directory. If more features are needed, or if you find a bug, don't hesitate to make an issue here on GitHub, or write on our Discord channel. If you need more details, or if you need to compile from source, check out the detailed installation instructions. We support: macOS, Raspberry Pi (Raspbian), Linux (Ubuntu), and Windows 10.

    OoeyGUI MESS Launcher

    OoeyGUI MESS Launcher

    GUI Launcher to launch MAME Emulated TI-99 16bit Computer Systems

    OoeyGUI MESS Launcher has been coded by Chris Schneider [SHIFT838] to be a front-end launcher for use to with MAME to easily launch an emulated TI-99/2, TI-99/4, TI-99/4A, TI-99/8 and Myarc Geneve 9640 computer systems. This application has been tested with MAME v0.225b and higher and is completed coded in Python for cross OS compatibility. It has been tested on Windows 10, Linux Ubuntu 20.04, MacOS Catalina/Big Sur and Raspberry OS on RPi4. Please be aware that MAME program switches have changed and this launcher will not work with older versions. Configure your system directories in the 'Configuration' tab and 'Save OOEYGUI Configuration'. To use the TIIMAGETOOL 'Serial Bridge' configuration you must have JAVA installed. For Windows 64bit systems please refer to the manual for getting the RXTX interface for java re-enabled.

    pyCPU

    Python Hardware Processor

    The Python Hardware Processsor is a implementation of a Hardware CPU in Myhdl. The CPU can directly execute something very similar to python bytecode (but only a very restricted instruction set). The Programm code for the CPU can be written directly in python (very restricted parts of python). This code is then converted by a small python programm to this restricted python bytecode. Since the hardware description is also in python, the slightly modified bytecode an then automatically loaded into the CPU design. The result can be converted to VHDL or Verilog
