Open Source Solaris Emulators

VICE is an emulator collection which emulates the C64, the C64-DTV, the C128, the VIC20, practically all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610). It runs on Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2, Acorn RISC OS, BeOS, QNX 6.x, Amiga, GP2X or Mac OS X machines.

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 developers, testers, sysadmins, or hobbyists who need different OS environments, want to test software across systems, or need isolation for development, sandboxing, or security experiments. VirtualBox offers both a user-friendly GUI as well as a command-line interface and headless mode, making it useful for desktop usage as well as server or automated environments.

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows binaries to run on x86-based Unixes.

The Free Unix Spectrum Emulator (Fuse): an emulator of the 1980s home computer and various clones for Unix, macOS and Windows.

z390 Portable Mainframe Assembler and Emulator

ArchC is an open-source architecture description language based on SystemC. Its goal is to provide designers with a tool to evaluate new ideas in processor and ISA design, memory hierarchy, etc. and other aspects of computer architecture research.

With TURGEN, you can record your own tapes with software for Atari 8-bit computers, and transfer data from your PC or Mac to your Atari 8-bit computer using your data recorder and a cassette adapter. TURGEN converts digital images of Atari software to the original standard Atari tape records and also various "turbo" systems. You can create WAVE files, tape images, or send the signal directly to the sound card. Tools such as Wizard for files, Tape Side Creator, Dual Track Tape creator and Batch processing allow you to create tapes with convenience

The MDK provides a simulator of D. Knuth's MIX computer, and a development environment to write, run and debug MIXAL programs on it.

Raddle is a network emulation framework. It is particularly useful when testing network management systems or teaching people to use them. Raddle supports ping, SNMP, traceroute, and other protocols.

KEGS is a portable Apple //gs emulator for Linux, OS/2, HP-UX, and Solaris. It is very accurate and quick, running at an emulated 10MHz on 200MHz machines. This version of KEGS is using SDL (Simple Directmedia Layer) for more portability.

This sourceforge project is closed until further notice -- CarbonKernel is a RTOS simulator based on event-driven simulation techniques. It mimics real-time operating systems behaviour, allowing to implement and test embedded software on a workstation.

FastSim consists of: - 'Facile' a highly flexible and expressive processor-architecture specification-language. - A compiler for the specifications which produces high-performance, fast-forwarding simulators.

OUDPMS is an educational tool that visualizes the process of global process management and resource allocation. It is also a simulation and evaluation tool for various distributed process scheduling and resource allocation algorithms.

An emulator for an educational CPU (P3) used in a Computer Architecture (AC) course in IST (a University in Lisbon, Portugal). The CPU is only theoritical and has a software simulator already implemented. Purpose: final AC project testing and evaluation.

PHPterm is a terminal/shell emulator for PHP which let's you execute shell commands just like in a shell, but all within your browser window over the HTTP protocol. It aims to provide the look and feel of konsole, the KDE terminal.

cingb is an ATTEMPT to write a Gameboy-emulator for all kinds of platforms. It plays Gameboy and Gameboy Color ROMs, includes a debugger for step-by-step analysis of Gameboy programs and might be also interesting for educational purposes.

qsh is a shell for any operating system. It is coded in java so it inherits the pros and cons of java. It is in a very nascent stage, but all the regular commands work: Directory navigation, file tasks etc.
