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.

This is an N64 emulator written in Rust by Logan McNaughton (simple64) and some portions of it come from mupen64plus and/or ares.



The objectives in summary are as follows:

–Performance. The author wants to be able to use this emulator on my laptop.
– Easy to use.
– Easy to work with. Dynamic recompilers are powerful, but they are very difficult to read and understand. This emulator will only have interpreters for CPU and RSP. In addition, it is written in Rust (apart from Parallel-RDP), a modern programming language with an ever-growing number of users. The author has tried to avoid the use of macros, which can reduce the repetitiveness of the code, but also its readability.

• Update eframe requirement from...

JoyShockMapper converts the gameplay inputs into keyboard, mouse and virtual joystick events so you can play PC games with these joysticks. Use gyroscopic controls and the flick stick to play games with unparalleled accuracy on their respective consoles.



The Sony PlayStation DualSense, DualShock 4, Nintendo Switch JoyCons (used in pairs) and Nintendo Switch Pro have many points in common. They have many of the features expected from modern game controllers. They also have an incredibly versatile and underutilized entry that their biggest rival (Microsoft's Xbox One controller) does not have: a 3-axis gyroscope (hereinafter referred to as “gyroscope”).

The goal with JoyShockMapper is to allow you to play PC games with DS, DS4, JoyCons and NS Pro even better than on their respective consoles, and to demonstrate that more games should use these features in this way.

This project aims to make the use of your Dualsense controller as easy and worry-free as possible with the ability to customise everything related to your own experience.

This project improves your experience on emulators through the use of adaptive triggers.



Some bulk functions:

– Easy-to-use graphical interface
– Management of vibrations
– Bluetooth and USB mode
– Gamecube/Wi triggers (Chrusers with Dolphin emulator)
– WiiU/Nintendo Switch triggers (Celms with Cemu and Yuzu emulators)
– Update Checker (It does not download the update but warns the user when a new update is published)
– Macros

Play is an emulator of PlayStation 2 and Namco System 2X6 (as well as the System 147/148 variants) for Windows/MacOS/iOS/Android. It is currently written in C/C plus and uses a cache/instruction recompilation system to achieve better performance while emulating the CPU.

The emulator can operate a set of games. The author's goal is to achieve a level of quality that will allow anyone to play their favorite PlayStation 2 game on their PC.

Very powerful, PPSSPP is a free and free Sony PSP emulator (for Windows, Android and others via SDL) written in C++ by Henrik Rydgard (very well known under the pseudonym of Ector, already author of the PSP emulator Potemkin and best known for Dolphin, having also worked on a number of Dreamcast emulators).



The changes are as follows:

CHD support

Click to expand...

CHD was originally a format for compressing hard drives from arcade games in MAME, but has become since the most popular format for storing ISOs for CD- and DVD-based video game consoles. PSP already has a different format, CSO, which can be used toilize loss-lessly compress ISOs, and as a bonus, unlike CHD, these actually work on the real hardware.

So you might ask, why support CHD? It does provide a slightly better compression ratio, but the main reason is that it’s simply asked a lot. Many people seem to familiarize with a set of tools, and since CHD works to...
