Used by these Emulators

Library	Platform	Author
ACE (Another Capcom Play System Emulator) One of many Capcom/SNK emulators. When the author lost his latest source code in a hard disk crash, he didn't want to continue it any longer.	Windows	Rollback Segment (Friol)
CAGE (Classic Arcade Game Emulator) Was totally re-written to become HiVE. Bubbles, Colony 7, Sinistar and Splat not in HiVE though.	Windows	Larry Bank
Capcom Play System 3 Emulator The first officially released emulator to support Capcom's Play System 3 games.	Windows	ElSemi
Crystal System Emulator The first emulator of Crystal System games but ElSemi has subsequently added support to MAME too.	Windows	ElSemi
DMAME (DOS MAME) The biggest arcade emulator ever... need I say more? Also related is MESS which is the home console/computer version of MAME. Normal and i686 optimised versions available.	DOS	Nicola Salmoria
EmuDX Enhances these classic games with better graphics and sound	DOS	Mike Green
EmuDX32 Enhances these classic games with better graphics and sound	Windows	Mike Green
Escuela de Combate This emulator is in Spanish. Works with the bootleg version of Combat School.	Windows	José Tejada Gómez
Final Burn Originally called the 'After Burner Emulator', Final Burn soon added support for other Sega games on similar hardware. In addition to those it has also started supporting CPS-2 games and a few of the CPS-1 games.	Windows	Dave
Final Burn Alpha Originally called the 'After Burner Emulator', Final Burn soon added support for other Sega games on similar hardware. In addition to those it has also started supporting CPS-2 games and a few of the CPS-1 games. Since the original Final Burn was discontinued by it's author (Dave), the Final Burn Alpha team have continued the project. Now available in Chinese too!	Windows	Ayeye Barry Harris (TrebleWinner) Hyper Yagami KEV LoopMaster Mike Haggar
GNGEO A Neo-Geo emulator for Linux. Sorry but I can't list the games that are supported here in CAESAR. It would be a huge amount of work to work out the required ROMs without CRC information in the emulator and I don't have Linux to do proper testing either!	Linux	Mathieu Peponas
HiVE (High Velocity Emulator) A good windows emulator for classic games. Version 1.03 is also available in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French.	Windows	Larry Bank
Hornet This only appears to be the start of an emulator as I couldn't get it to actual play the game, just load the ROMs.	Windows	Azuco
Kawaks Another dedicated CPS-1, CPS-2 and Neo-Geo emulator. Includes tile viewer, sprite viewer and integrated debugger. A personal favorite!	Windows	MHz/Mr K
MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) The biggest arcade emulator ever... need I say more? Also related is MESS which is the home console/computer version of MAME. Normal and i686 optimised versions available.	Windows	Aaron Giles Nicola Salmoria
MameUI The latest beta release of MameUI. 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available.	Windows	Michael Soderstrom
Modeler Modeler was originally developed by Farfetch'd but later developed by Richter Belmont as well. Now discontinued in favour of adding these systems to MAME.	Windows	Farfetch'd Richter Belmont Sarayan
MSega A cheap hack of ElSemi's Sega Model 2 Emulator, claim to be a new Model 2 emulator. Note from Pi... Comparing Model 2 Emulator. v0.1 alpha versus MSega whateverversion.crap. The Hex Workshop comparison shown, only matches, gives two main sections, one A1F8F bytes long and another one 6BDD4 bytes long, both at the same offsets in each file. That means that only two sections give 1105251 matching bytes. The emulators are roughly 1114112 bytes long, so 99% of them are exactly the same.	Windows	Mohanish Vijan
Nebula A very good emulator for CPS-1, CPS-2, Neo-Geo, Konami and PGM games with the ability to add new games through text based drivers.	Windows	ElSemi
Nebula Jukebox Plays the music and sound effects from arcade games based on Capcom's CPS-1, CPS-2, ZN-1 and ZN-2 hardware. Also supports IGS PolyGame Master, Konami and Sega Model 2 games.	Windows	ElSemi
Nebula Model 2 The first Sega Model 2 emulator to be released. Superceded by the SEGA Model 2 Emulator.	Windows	ElSemi
PhMAME PhMAME is a native Photon port of MAME desigined for users of the QNX Realtime Platform. PhMAME was based off XMAME, and tweeked by David Rempel to work with the QNX Realtime Platform.	QNX 6.1	Travis Coady
QPlayer Plays the music and sound effects from arcade games based on Capcom's CPS-1, CPS-2, ZN-1 and ZN-2 hardware	Windows	Barry Rodewald
Radikal Bikers Emulator A single game emulator for Radikal Bikers to demonstrate the performance that can be achieved for this one particular game (compared to the MAME driver).	Windows	Aaron Giles
RAINE Originally the 'Rainbow Islands Emulator'. Faster than MAME for the games it does. Now an open source development at SourceForge. V0.41.0 added DX support!	DOS	Richard Bush (Antiriad)
RAINE for BeOS BeOS version of the wonderful RAINE emulator. There is no PPC version available (x86 only).	BeOS	Caz Jones
RAINE for Linux Linux version of the wonderful RAINE emulator. Now with DX support!	Linux	Emmanuel Anne (Tux)
RAINE for Linux First Linux port of the wonderful RAINE emulator.	Linux	Ulrich Hecht
RAINE32 Windows version of the wonderful RAINE emulator.	Windows	Emmanuel Anne (Tux)
Replay Support for new games can be added using KEG files (similar concept to Mimic). Linux version also available. Preliminary sound in two games.	DOS	Kevin Brisley
Retrocade Nice interface and although everything is covered by MAME it is far more efficient and takes much less of a system to run it. For example, I am informed that Retrocade can run Galaga with full sound on a 486/33 but MAME requires a Pentium 200.	DOS	Neil Bradley
Retrocade (OS/2) Nice interface but everything is covered by MAME	OS/2	Martin 'The Masked Mallard' Amodeo
S11Emu S11Emu emulates Namco System 11 games but does not have sound emulation yet.	Windows	Marcin Dudar (Duddie / TheD / The Author)
SEGA Model 2 Emulator A rewrite of the Nebula Model 2 emulator (includes a special version for dual core machines).	Windows	ElSemi
Sega System 24 Emulator The first emulator to emulate Sega System 24 games.	Windows	Charles Mac Donald
Sega System C2 Emulator The first emulator that emulated Sega C2 games. Discontinued on 8th Nov 2000 (almost immediately after MAME added the games). Also, the author requested that no sites provide his source anymore.	DOS	Charles Mac Donald
SNAME (Simulation and Non-Arcade Machine Emulator) Based on MAME v0.37 b15. Original version was by Rodimus Prime in Feb 2000.	DOS	BraiNKilleR
SNAMEW (Simulation and Non-Arcade Machine Emulator) Based on MAME v0.37 b15. Original version was by Rodimus Prime in Feb 2000.	Windows	BraiNKilleR
Tickle Tickle is an object oriented framework written to develop hardware emulators, but it can also used to write simple games and similar stuff. Tickle is composed by a portable library of functions and interfaces, and by an OS-dependent front end that provides access to system input and output devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick, sound, video and so on). The "Rebound" Edition contains a circuit emulator for Atari's Rebound (1973). It is far from complete and very CPU intensive but worth a look!	Windows	Alessandro Scotti
VAntAGE Intended to replace your old arcade boards. This is probably the last version that Brian will release.	DOS	Brian Lewis
Virtua Unfortunately Richard had to stop development due to other commitments but he released Virtua and it's source to the community. It emulates the games to a certain degree but there is no polygon support so games are not playable. If you feel like a challenge then finishing off Virtua might be just the thing. :)	DOS	Richard Mitton (Kayamon)
ZiNc Zinc emulates Sony ZN-1, ZN-2 and Namco System 11 games and supercedes both Impact and S11Emu. The last version of ZiNc from Duddie and Tratax was v0.9, after that they went on to created GCEmu (a Nintendo GameCube emulator) and R.Belmont / SMF took over ZiNc development.	Windows	Marcin Dudar (Duddie / TheD / The Author) Richter Belmont SMF Tratax (aka DynaChicken)
