Involved Projects and Packages
Sega Mega Drive (Genesis), 32X, and Mega CD emulator with a
GUI with many features. This version supports OpenGL output and use of real CDs.
gnuboy emulates the Color GameBoy handheld console in portable C with
interfaces for X11, Linux fbcon and svgalib, SDL, DOS, and Windows,
with other ports planned in the future. Compatibility with ROMs tested
is around 99 percent, and all major hardware features except SGB
extensions are supported. With the optional optimized i386 assembly
code, gnuboy can run at the full 60 FPS even on Pentium/75s and below.
Hatari is an emulator for the Atari ST, STE, TT and Falcon computers.
The Atari ST was a 16/32 bit computer system which was first released by Atari
in 1985. Using the Motorola 68000 CPU, it was a very popular computer having
quite a lot of CPU power at that time.
Unlike many other Atari ST emulators which try to give you a good environment
for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the hardware of a ST as
close as possible so that it is able to run most of the old ST games and demos.
Hercules is an emulator for the IBM System/370, ESA/390, and
z/Architecture series of mainframe computers. It is capable of running
any IBM operating system and applications that a real system will run,
as long as the hardwre needed is emulated. Hercules can emulate FBA and
CKD DASD, tape, printer, card reader, card punch, channel-to-channel
adapter, and printer-keyboard and 3270 terminal devices.
Hercules information can be found on the web at
http://www.hercules-390.org/ .
Amstrad PCW (Joyce, "xjoyce") and PCW16 ("xanne") emulators.
PCW software (including boot discs) can be found here:
ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/cpc/pcw/
Comes with a number of development tools and extensive documentation.
Needs ROM images to work, see /usr/share/doc/packages/jzintv for details.
LIBDSK has drivers for:
* Raw files (including /dev/fdn).
* Raw files, rearranged into logical filesystem order.
* .DSK files, as used in CPCEMU, JOYCE and other Sinclair/Amstrad emulators.
* MYZ80 hard drive image files.
* NanoWasp floppy image files.
* .CFI (Compressed Floppy Image) files, as created by FDCOPY.COM under DOS.
* The Linux floppy drive (supports CPC System and Data formats, which the standard "Raw file" driver does not).
* The Windows 3.x/95/98/ME/NT/2000 floppy drive.
* The DOS floppy drive (via the PC BIOS).
* CopyQM files (read-only)
* TeleDisk files (read-only)
* APRIDISK image files
* rcpmfs - a backend that makes a Unix/Windows directory appear to be a CP/M disc image.
* Another instance of LibDsk over a serial line.
Library for reading and writing ZX Spectrum disk/tape images
and snapshots.
Mednafen is a command-line-driven multi-system emulator utilizing
OpenGL and SDL. Mednafen has the ability to remap hotkey functions
and virtual system inputs to a keyboard, a joystick, or both
simultaneously. Save states are supported, as is real-time game
rewinding. Screen snapshots may be taken, in the PNG file format, at
the press of a button. Mednafen can record audiovisual movies in the
QuickTime file format, with several different lossless codecs
supported.

There is also limited support for Nintendo NES software.
Neo Geo CD (neo4all) and AES/MVS (aes4all) emulators. Neo Geo ROM sets have to
be converted to aes4all format using the included convertneo tool.
convertneo expects BIOS files in /usr/share/neo4all/bios.
SNK Neo Geo Pocket (Color) emulator.
Very accurate Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS emulator. (Its real name is
no$gba, but for technical reasons the package and binary are called
noUSDgba.)
For your convenience you may want to copy or link your ROM images to
~/.noUSDgba/SLOT, a directory that will be created when you first run
no$gba.
This is the freeware version without debugging facilities. Debugger version
are available from US$15 for personal use or US$750 for commercial use
at http://nocash.emubase.de/gba-dev.htm
This package uses WINE to run.
Expects BIOS images in /usr/share/o2em/bios and game ROM images in
/usr/share/o2em/roms.

ROMs have to be placed in a directory "roms" under the working directory.
Comes with the open-source C-BIOS ROM image. ROMs from real machines can
be downloaded at the MSX Archive:
