Free Open Source Emulators Software

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.

This is a Commodore 64 emulator specialized for sound reproduction. It is also a SID player for music collections like HVSC and CGSC. It is a full C64 emulator and can play games of the GameBase64 project as well.

Amstrad CPC-Emulator in JAVA, based on JEMU by R. Wilson. I am searching for good JAVA-coders who are also knowledgable in emulating 8bit homecomputers.

With TURGEN, you can create 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. Convert files to the original standard Atari tape records and also various "turbo" systems. You can create WAVE files, tape images, or send signal directly to the sound card. Wizard for files, tape side creation tool and batch processing allow you to create your tapes with convenience.

EightyOne is an emulator for the range of ZX home computers made by Sinclair Research (and their clones) in the 1980s. As well as emulating the machines themselves, various add-on interfaces are supported, including hi-res graphics, custom character sets, sound and colour cards. EightyOne was created by Michael D Wynne, with releases originally published at www.chuntey.com. This archive collates as many release versions of the emulator as possible, including the source code for them where available. Michael is no longer actively developing the emulator, but has made the code open source so that others can continue to extend it with new functionality. Versions up to 1.0a were produced by Michael, with all later versions created by others.

MAME (and tools) packages for Slackware Linux (32-bit and 64-bit editions). MAME originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. Official MAME development team site: http://mamedev.org/. KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)! MESS is now integral part of MAME and will be distributed as such.

ASAP (Another Slight Atari Player) plays and converts 8-bit Atari music (*.sap, *.cmc, *.mpt, *.rmt, *.tmc, ...) on modern computers and mobile devices.

MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus. The MAME project as a whole is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, 2 (GPL-2.0), since it contains code made available under multiple GPL-compatible licenses.

PoppyChain is a set of BIN/CUE<->VCD conversion tools for Linux/BSD: * poppy-merge -- joins several binary tracks, referenced by CUE-file, into single BIN-file; * poppy-encode -- converts BIN/CUE disc images to VCD format, used by the POPS/POPSTARTER PSone emulator for PlayStation 2; * poppy-decode -- converts VCD images back to BIN/CUE format.

gpsim is an open sourced simulator for Microchip's PIC microcontrollers. It supports all three families of PICs: 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit cores. See also gputils http://gputils.sourceforge.net/

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. 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.

An open source NES Emulator for Windows and Unix that features solid emulation accuracy and state of the art tools for power users. FCEUX's source code is now hosted at https://github.com/TASVideos/fceux/ win32 autobuilds @ https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zeromus/fceux/build/artifacts

With new video, audio and timing pipelines for linux/X11 only.

Unfortunately the author of the original project (Mike Perry) passed away a long time ago, but it seems like nobody picked up this piece of history and so there is no NUON emulator to be found anywhere except for his Nuance 0.5.1 release from 2007. The source code of 0.5.0 (or is it actually 0.5.1??) was later-on released by his family via http://www.dragonshadow.com/-/downloads/NuanceExperimental.zip By now, emulation was improved a lot with many games now working almost correctly (except for "random" endless loops that still occur in the emulated code due to whacky audio syncing) in the new 0.6.X release. Due to the (debatable) way how Mike designed the emulation core, this project is not trying to provide cycle-accurate emulation, but can rather be seen as a virtual NUON machine that provides as much computational power as possible from the host PC. The advantage: Games that stutter on original HW can run smooth. The disadvantage: Syncing problems (for now) in some games.

ConEmu-Maximus5 aims to be handy, comprehensive, fast and reliable terminal window where you may host any console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash). As Windows console window enhancement (local terminal emulator), it presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable tabbed GUI window with various features. Also, due to deep integration, ConEmu is the best companion for Far Manager, my favorite shell replacement. Disclaimer. ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like tab-completion, command history and others. But you can run any shell or remote access client of your choice in ConEmu! Try Clink for bash-style completion in cmd.exe and PSReadLine or PowerTab in powershell.exe. Or just run Bash from your favourite distro. Also, ConEmu does not provide remote access (SSH/Telnet/...) too, just use your remote client (ssh.exe, telnet.exe) instead.

Highly-Experimental Playstation Simulator for x64 based systems. This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.

Serial port assistant This is only a read-only mirror repository. Main repository: https://github.com/KangLin/SerialPortAssistant

Teo is an emulator of the Thomson TO8 microcomputer for PC, running on MSDOS, Windows and Linux. The compatibility is close to 100% for softwares which don't use non emulated peripherals and don't hold physical protections. In other words, if a software doesn't work on Teo, so probably : 1. it needs the presence of another peripheral than mouse, light-pen, joystick, tape recorder and disks (so it won't run as long as this peripheral is not emulated), 2. its physical protection makes it fail.

Memu is a multiple machine emulator. Emulation of Intel 8080 CPU is done. Emulation of Intel 8086 CPU is done. Some arcade machines which based on 8080 CPU are emulated. CP/M 1.3, 1.4, 2.0 runnable. PC emulation is under construction.
