Open Source Linux Emulators

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.

Denise is a cycle accurate and platform independant C64 / Amiga 500/1000 emulator. My motivation for this project is understanding how it works and write clean and easy readable code. RetroArch SLANG shaders are supported by Denise. Features already known from the C64 emulation, such as runAhead, savestates, drive sounds, PAL encoding, dynamic rate control, G-Sync/FreeSync, Warp, just in time polling are also available for the Amiga. Denise supports SuperCPU, Final Chesscard, REU, GeoRam, EasyFlash, EasyFlash³, Gmod2, Retro Replay, Action Replay, Final Cartridge, Light Guns/Pens, GunStick, Mouse 1351, Mouse Neos, Paddles, fast loaders such as ProfDOS, PrologicDOS, DolphinDOS, ProSpeed 1571, Turbo Trans, 1571, 1581, drag'n'drop and command line support.

i8086emu is an cross-platform emulator for the Intel 8086 microprocessor. It has support for dynamically loadable device plugins and some peripherals like a PIT, PIC, 8-segment-displays, buttons and leds. i8086emu comes with an ncurses and an GTK-2 gui

AspeQt is the free Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt. This program emulates various Atari 8-bit family peripherals, most notably the disk drives via an SIO2PC cable.

The objective of the TPM Emulator project is the implementation of a software-based TPM and MTM emulator as well as of an appropriate TCG Device Driver Library (TDDL).

Another Zilog Z80 emulation. C++ class on a shared library. Simulates all pins of the Z80-Chip in a single function interface. Additionally are some Test-Projects added. 1. CP/M 2.2 emulator connectable by an telnet client. 2. An instruction set examiner. 3. An ZX-80 emulator. 4. An TK-80 emulator 5. An Z80 Dis-assembler driver for all supported instructions.

TwoMbit is a cycle/bus accurate emulator for Sega's 8-bit game consoles (Master System, Gamegear, SG-1000)

QMC2 is a Qt based multi-platform GUI front end for MAME NOTE: A new version is hosted and developed at https://github.com/qmc2/qmc2-mame-fe

KCemu is an emulator for the KC85 homecomputer series and other Z80 based microcomputers like Z1013, LC80, Polycomputer 880 and BIC A5105. The emulation supports a number of additional hardware, e.g. floppy disk drives and extended graphic modules.

Open-Apple is an Apple II emulator for Linux that currently features full emulation of an enhanced Apple IIe computer with several useful peripheral cards including clock, mouse, memory expansion, and hard drive.

WinDS is a Reimplementation of the OS Windows(R) XP(R) on the Platform Nintendo DS. Since i started coding Apps for the NDS, my goal was to write a program, called WinDS, which does (nearly) the same as the real appy by Microsoft. In contrast to other little NDS-Operating Systems, just like Woopsi etc. you can code your own Application in Lua for WinDS: just copy the Code onto the FAT-Disk and execute it from within WinDS! This is what makes WinDS so unique. The New Beta 0.95 is out, it features - 52 Classes that are already available within Lua - 25 different types of user interface classes - 8 different predefined dialogs which makes it the perfect GUI sandbox for DS. PS: More time without update means: next update will have even more improvements, as i am still developing ;)
