DeSmuME is a Nintendo DS emulator running homebrew demos and commercial games.

The original author of DeSmuME is YopYop156. He has stopped working on it on the beginning of april 2006 and passed the torch to a new team of developers.

DeSmuME comes in three flavours: desmume-cli, desmume-gtk and desmume-gtk-glade. Use of desmume-gtk-glade is encouraged due to advanced features as rotating screen, save states support and more.

Since development of the original Unix Amiga Emulator slowed down while the WinUAE fork gained momentum, E-UAE brings the WinUAE emulation core back to Linux and other operating systems.

E-UAE is an emulator of the Commodore Amiga hardware but requires the original Kickstart ROM to get Amiga games running. This can either be acquired directly from an Amiga or purchased as part of the Amiga Forever package.

ep128emu is a free, portable emulator of the Enterprise 128 computer, written by Istvan Varga, using Z80 emulation code from Kevin Thacker's ENTER emulator.

It should compile and run under any system with a C compiler (preferably one that implements the C99 standard, such as recent versions of GCC), and the latest 1.2.x version of the SDL library installed. On Linux the emulator can also use ALSA for improved performance and sound latency. ep128emu implements all the basic functionality of an Enterprise 128, such as the Z80 CPU (all documented and many undocumented opcodes are supported), NICK chip, DAVE (there is very good sound emulation in recent releases), keyboard, disk, and tape. For more details, read about the current state of the emulator.
