The documentation and source are generated from the .lit file using srcweave. If you don't want to go through the trouble of setting it up, your contributions are welcome. Just make your edits the .lit file, and we can regenerate it for you. Our VM will simulate a fictional computer called the LC-3. The LC-3 is popular for teaching university students how to program in assembly language. It has a simplified instruction set compared to x86, but contains all the main ideas used in modern CPUs. First, we need to simulate the essential hardware components of the machine. Try to understand what each component is, but don’t worry right now if you are unsure of how it fits into the larger picture. Start by creating a C file. A register is a slot for storing a single value on the CPU. Registers are like the “workbench” of the CPU. For the CPU to work with a piece of data, it has to be in one of the registers.

RetroPie‑Setup is a collection of shell scripts designed to install and configure RetroPie—an emulation frontend—on Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Odroid, or PC platforms. It automates installing RetroArch, emulator cores, configuring controllers, themes, and optional ports. Used for retro gaming on varied hardware.

An emulator of the Amstrad CPC 8bit home computer range. Please see https://github.com/ColinPitrat/caprice32 for the most up to date version.

C-BIOS is an open source BIOS for MSX computers. C-BIOS can be shipped with MSX emulators so they are usable out-of-the-box. This project aims to improve C-BIOS by fixing incompatibilities with the MSX BIOS and the development of a Disk ROM.

vmdkutil is a utility to manage VMware sparse virtual disk files (.vmdk), creating, cloning, merging, etc.

The Psx Emulation Open Source project (P.E.Op.S.) contains several open source libraries (plugins) for freeware MSWindows and Linux psx/ps2 emulators.

SIMH is a highly portable, multi-system simulator. This was a CVS source code server for the project. It has not been updated, and SourceForge does not have commit access to CVS anymore. Please see the new project here: https://github.com/open-simh/simh

Be warned this project was discontinued in 2013 and has not been updated in years.

FakeNES is a highly portable, Open Source NES and Famicom emulator. It runs on all modern operating systems and has an actively maintained DOS port for enthusiasts. Support for phones and other mobile platforms is under development. The majority of the project is entirely original code released under the zlib/libpng license. Contributed and third-party code is included under GNU licenses.

THIS SVN REPO IS NOW OUTDATED, PLEASE USE THE GITHUB LINK ABOVE! PinMAME - Pinball's Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator written by the WPCMAME/PinMAME development team and contributors

DiskImagery64 is a portable (Qt-based), open-source disk image editor for Commodore 64 disk images running on Mac, Linux and Windows. It offers a nice GUI with drag-and-drop support between disk images, the local file system and real retro hardware.

OpenGLide is a Glide to OpenGL wrapper. It emulates a Voodoo board so you can run old Windows Glide games by translating Glide calls into OpenGL. The CVS code moved to https://github.com/fcbarros/openglide.

The user-mode kernel port is a port of the Linux kernel which runs in a set of processes. The result is a user-mode virtual machine and a kernel which can be debugged and developed using all of the usual process-level tools.

New 32-bit Atari computer clone. Virtual machine running on top of your favorite operating system. Faster than any Atari compatible machine ever made, with better graphics and more memory. That is ARAnyM.

Acorn Archimedes hardware emulator for Unix, Windows, Mac OS X, RISC OS, etc.

sdltrs is a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Macintosh OSX, Windows, and Linux. It has been ported from the excellent X-Windows UNIX emulator xtrs. Instead of using the X-Window system for graphics, it uses the portable SDL library.

OpenXCI is a Xen-based desktop hypervisor. Unlike other desktop hypervisors, it is not targeted at businesses wanting remote provisioning, but rather at individuals who want a high-performance alternative to dual/multi-booting.

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

Teo is an emulator of the Thomson TO8 microcomputer for PC, running on MSDOS, Windows and Linux. The compatibility is close to 100% for softwares which don't use non emulated peripherals and don't hold physical protections. In other words, if a software doesn't work on Teo, so probably : 1. it needs the presence of another peripheral than mouse, light-pen, joystick, tape recorder and disks (so it won't run as long as this peripheral is not emulated), 2. its physical protection makes it fail.

The Carnegie Mellon University Binary Analysis Platform (CMU BAP) is a suite of utilities and libraries that enables analysis of programs in the machine code representation. BAP supports x86, x86-64, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and new architectures can be added as plugins. BAP includes various analyses, standard interpreter, microexecution interpreter, and symbolic executor. BAP features its own domain-specific language, Primus Lisp, that is used for implementing analyses, specifying verification conditions, modeling functions (writing stubs) and even interfacing with the SMT solver. The toolkit repository includes various examples of program analysis tools that could be implemented with BAP and can be used as the starting point (in addition to the tutorial) for implementing custom analyses. BAP can be used as a framework with a single bap utility that is extended with plugins or it can be used as a library embedded in a user application, which could be written in OCaml.

Coffee GB is a Gameboy Color emulator written in Java 8. It's meant to be a development exercise. More info can be found in the blog post. First I implemented all the Gameboy CPU opcodes. It’s not exactly the Z80, but it’s pretty close. As a reference, I’ve used the GameBoy CPU Manual - later on I discovered that it has a few typos and is not specific enough for some of the operations. After implementing the opcodes and memory (modelled by an int[] array) I was eager to check whether it’s possible to run some code on it. I had neither the cartridge nor the GPU emulation yet, so even the simplest game wouldn’t be an option. However, when the original Gameboy starts, it executes a simple 256-bytes program, a kind of firmware displaying the Nintendo logo and self-testing the system. That was exactly the thing I was looking for - after just 3 days I had an application running the Gameboy code!

Darktile is a GPU-rendered terminal emulator specifically designed for tiling window managers.
