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).

PC-BASIC is a free, cross-platform interpreter for GW-BASIC, BASICA, PCjr Cartridge Basic and Tandy 1000 GWBASIC. -- This page is an archive and hosts the legacy version 1.2 of PC-BASIC only. -- For documentation and the latest releases, please see the official homepage: www.pc-basic.org Four source code, discussions and to report bugs please see the GitHub project page https://github.com/robhagemans/pcbasic

RetroPie‑Setup is a collection of shell scripts designed to install and configure RetroPie—an emulation frontend—on Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Odroid, or PC platforms. It automates installing RetroArch, emulator cores, configuring controllers, themes, and optional ports. Used for retro gaming on varied hardware.

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.

Alternative Lineage 2 Game Server written in Java.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

AmsdosFS is an implementation for Linux of Amsdos filesystem used on Amstrad CPC computers. It is written in Python and uses module Fuse Python to mount DSK images.

An Apple ][ Emulator written in Python.

Commodore 64 emulator in Python.

CabFE is a multi-emulator frontend for MAME, Daphne and other arcade games designed specifically for arcade cabinets using minimal set of controls (typically only a joystick and a few buttons) that are common on cabinets.

This project contains some test scripts and software for Analog Devices' DSP chip emulators. This verifies whether a particular emulator is working correctly with a particular PC and target board.

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.
