Open Source Python Emulators

Build, Design and Test your network in a risk-free virtual environment and access the largest networking community to help. Whether you are studying for your first networking exam or building out a state-wide telecommunications network, GNS3 offers an easy way to design and build networks of any size without the need for hardware.

CDemu - a virtual CD/DVD drive for Linux. Project includes Linux kernel module & userspace utilities.

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 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.

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.

Cross-platform and multi-arch ultra lightweight emulator. Supported OS: Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, DOS and UEFI. Support Arch: x86(16/32/64), ARM(64) MIPS, EVM and WASM. It also support Linux Kernel Module(.ko) , Windows Driver(.sys) and MacOS Kernel(.kext) via Demigod. Binary instrumentation and API are Qiling Framework's main focus and priority. It is designed for reverse engineers - thus there is no need to rebuild another sand boxing tool. Using Qiling Framework saves you time. The API-rich Qiling Framework brings reverse and instrument binary to the next level quicker. Additionally, Qiling provides API access to register, memory, filesystem, operating system and debugger. Qiling also provides virtual machine-level API such as save and restore execution state. It combines binary instrumentation and binary emulation into one single framework.

Alternative Lineage 2 Game Server written in Java.

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.

AxisCameraEmulator is a simple IP video camera emulator, which can be used to test CCTV software. It partially emulate Axis 223M network camera, using jpeg files as video steam. It support small subset of Axis VAPIX.

This project implements a Windows SCSI hard disk driver which simulates physical Solid-State Drive (SSD). This driver includes a simple flash translation layer. Please note that the project is in alpha.

This is an attempt to make a complete, and playable atari emulator entirely in python and some common modules. Currently, it only requires PyGame 1.5.0 and Numeric.

Dynagui is a GUI frontend for the dynamips Cisco 7200 router simulator.

The GNUton project is a re-implementation of the (defunct) Apple Newton platform. It consists of the virtual machine, storage architecture and templates for GUI and general OS features. It aims to support execution of existing pure NewtonScript packages

mac-on-windows is a pearpc based powerpc emulator. it is faster than pearpc and it have a easy-to-use-gui on A old pentium 2, it lasts a minute for mac os x tiger has started.

OpenXCI is a Xen-based desktop hypervisor. Unlike other desktop hypervisors, it is not targeted at businesses wanting remote provisioning, but rather at individuals who want a high-performance alternative to dual/multi-booting.

Wolfpack is a server-side Ultima Online MMORPG software. The project has started back in 1998 and has aquired both users and developers since then.

Implement a powerful iSCSI target in python, easily use under most popular systems. It also includes the following features: multi-target, multi-connect/session support chap authentication support header & data digest support erl =2, VTL, etc...

Commodore 64 emulator in Python.

Control your mouse cursor from your phone, and you only need your web browser! No additional app required.

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.

A tileset extractor and map generator for Zelda Classic unencoded quest (.qsu) files. Written in Python.

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

The project focuses on the design of a CPU architecture emulator aimed to assembly languages course.
