MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.

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.

Created by CaptainYS, it is an emulator for Windows, MacOs and Linux of Fujitsu FM-Towns and its Marty console version. It is an emulator of the legendary Fujitsu FM TOWNS computer. The goal is to emulate the Model II MX which was the last computer on which the author (dixit) "pledged allegiance". The author also tries to find and document as much as possible the undocumented features of the FM TOWNS system while writing the emulator.

– The high-fidelity mode supports Windows 95.
– Memory-size greater than 32MB and FPU recommended.
– High-Resolution PCM support.

puNES is a great Nintendo NES emulator for windows and linux.

– Rewritten mappers : All.
– Rewritten WRAM, VRAM, PRGROM, CHROM and Nametebles management.
– Rewritten FDS support.
. Furthermore, an option has been added to select the mode for write operations. Until now, all writes were stored on an external file (diff file) to preserve the integrity of the disk image, now it’s possible to choose to write them directly to the FDS/QD file (making it portable to other emulators as well).
. Changed the format of the diff file, now I use the IPS format (which can always be applied to the original image).
– Rewritten the format and management of save states.
WARNING save states of version 0.110 or earlier are no longer compatible.
– Rewritten the audio of the VRC7.
