Virtual T is a TRS-80 Model 100/102/200 emulator that runs on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. The goal of Virtual T is to provide 100% hardware emulation so any existing programs will run. It also adds powerful development and debugging tools.

TilEm is an emulator for the Z80 series of Texas Instruments graphing calculators. It supports all of the existing models in this series (TI-73, TI-76.fr, TI-81, TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus, TI-85, and TI-86.) TilEm features detailed emulation of all aspects of the calculator hardware, and includes a debugger for writing assembly programs.

A retargettable micro-controller and embedded system emulator architecture, providing common supports to emulate various types of micro-processors & devices on an x86 PC. Development of emulation for Arduino and various shields is just about to be launched in 2012.

Portable emulator for Pokémon-Mini. Last version: 0.60 (16 June 2015) Check Wiki for platform dependencies and other information.

SkyEye is a very fast full system simulator which takes llvm as IR of dynmic compiled framework.. It can simulate series ARM, Coldfire,Mips, Powerpc, Sparc, x86, TI DSP and Blackfin DSP Processor. Also can simulate multicore system by the multicore of host. The commercial support is provided by DigiProto Co. (http://www.digiproto.com)

BT-Sim is a BlueTooth simulator on a HCI level. The project alows to develop and test BT applications without using real BT hardware. It works in particular with PalmSource's Palm OS Simulator.

GXemul is a full-system computer emulator, emulating processors (ARM, MIPS, M88K, PowerPC, and SuperH) and surrounding peripherals, in some cases well enough to let unmodified guest operating systems run as if they were running on real hardware.

The MSX emulator that aims for perfection. NOTE: this project moved to GitHub. The content of this project page is frozen and will not be updated. The project is alive and kicking, though! Check out our website for the new project pages.

An extendible Motorola 6800 emulator and IDE. You can implement and add additional devices, configure the address space by using definition files, write and assemble code, debug your program using the debugger, export and import S-Record files and more.

NEmu is an emulator/simulator for exploring computer architecture. It provides a virtual machine, a debugger, and simulations of various cpus and hardware. NEmu is built on top of ALib, my own application framework.

Tiny8051 is small 8051 microcontroller simulator written in C#. Project was created for educational purposes, to show how µP works by using clean visual interface and debugging. Note: communication over serial port was not implemented, because there was no demand for it.

A Zilog Z80 simulator, debugger and profiler tailored for ZX Spectrum development (but generic enough to be used with other platforms)

Software Graphical 8051 Emulator, based on Allegro.

Entex Adventure Vision emulator with debugging capabilities. Latest version: 1.0 (March 16, 2013) For now the emulator is hardcoded with Qt, in future this will be changed to make the project more portable. Short F.A.Q. ------------------ Q: Emulator can't reach 100% emulation with sound enabled! A: Fiddle with the Sound buffer size inside "Options..."

The GoodFET is an open source JTAG programmer based upon the Texas Instruments Flash Emulation Tool. While retaining partial compatibility with the TI design, the eventual goal of this project is standalone firmware with no proprietary components.

The BF Debugger Project is an attempt to allow the development of software using the Brainf*** programming language in a GUI development environment, and to provide a platform for the advancement and dissemination of this language.

CDK4NIOS stands for Cross Development Kit for Altera's soft core processor NIOS and should you support with a comprehensive Assembler and C/C++ development environment under Linux. It will present only free of fee tools, so you can use it without risks.

This is a very simple simulator for the Microchip PIC16C71. I've used it for various small projects. It has an option video display feature to simulate a software-generated video output, which I used to debug PIC-Pong.

Avrora is a suite of tools for analyzing and debugging programs for AVR microcontrollers. It has support for a sensor platforms such as Mica2 and MicaZ, allowing wireless network simulation and allows dynamic instrumentation and static analysis.

The Computer Emulation Framework (CEF) is a common application framework for computer hardware emulation. It is flexible enough to emulate any hardware produced to date. CEF is used to create computer emulators.

JSGB is a Nintendo GameBoy emulator. Written in JavaScript and HTML5. Integrates a debugger with breakpoints support, memory, viewer and more... You can test it here: www.codebase.es/jsgb/?v=0.02

Softx86 is a library that provides software emulation of an Intel 80x86 CPU. The library takes care of executing opcodes and handling exceptions while the host application is responsible for providing simulated RAM, I/O devices, external signals.

This is a student project designed to compete in the 2010 IEEE Computer Society Student Competition: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/competition/2010competition The Code Red architecture is designed for extremely lower power environments, like distributed sensor networks. Included is a design of that architecture, a Java-based simulator, an implementation (without vector instructions) designed as a Logisim circuit (http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~burch/logisim/), and more. The name "Code Red" comes from our team name, the Red Team. Since the competition dictated a small team size, our professor split the class and gave each group a color. We liked the name "Code Red" and chose it to represent our team and school's color (UMass' official color is Maroon.) Only later did we realize that "Code Red" was the name of an unrelated computer worm from 2001.
