psOff - PlayStation 4 Emulation (Windows)​

In development. Does it run ...? No!

Runtime and rendering part is private currently. Target is to have a standalone framework for shader reconstruction, command buffer translation and managing the GPU memory, for others to use. This project uses it to run "Linux" binaries on windows.

NVIDIA users still have graphic issues, especially with the now supported tomb raider remaster

Fixes are planned for the next release.

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.
