Emulation & ROMs

"There's so many ways to play the N64. You do not need to support Palmer Luckey's little project."

After two long months, MAME 0.289 is ready, and it’s an undeniably massive update! But before we talk about emulation, there are a few more mundane things to mention. Our Windows binary releases now include the SDL sound output and joystick input modules. The sdljoy joystick input module now supports game controllers with up to 128 buttons. The Win32 debugger module handles dynamic UI scaling changes. Finally, outputs have been overhauled, improving performance and fixing issues, but you may need to update your configuration if you’ve got external programs hooked up, and some artwork files may need updating.

You’ll notice a number of systems and coprocessor cards based around NS32000 family CPUs are now working. If you aren’t familiar with it, the NS32000 architecture was one of the first single-chip CPU families with a 32-bit ALU. It used a highly orthogonal instruction set with clear influences from Digital Equipment Corporation’s earlier work. In retrospect, it didn’t have enough registers, the instruction encoding was too complex, it took them too long to overtake Motorola’s 68k family’s performance, and bugs in the initial implementation hurt early adopters. But now you can relive its glory days in MAME, running contemporary 32-bit System V UNIX! David Rand, the mastermind behind these NS32000 emulation advances, has also turned his attention in other directions. He’s brought the Xerox 820 and Big Board families up to working status, emulated Toshiba CP/M systems, and added the hard disk controller to the Kaypro 10, and more!

If you’re a fan of Sega arcade games, you’ll have lots to enjoy. For the groundbreaking Model 1 platform, there are numerous fixes for graphical issues, better collision detection in Virtua Fighter, and the bad bits in the DSP program that were breaking Wing War have been identified and patched. Even NetMerc is in better shape. The very unconventional Flash Beats game is now playable. It has basic internal artwork, but someone sufficiently motivated could have it looking spectacular by creating suitable external artwork. There are also some fixes for games that use the SCSP sound chip.

MAME has emulated the EACA Colour Genie EG2000 for quite some time now, but this release adds support for the EACA Genie III, which was released in the same year. There are lots of fixes for issues with the widely-used PowerPC and 68k CPU families, which will benefit a wide range of emulated systems. In particular, more versions of classic MacOS are now running happily on MAME’s emulated PowerMacs, and A/UX (Apple’s early attempt at merging MacOS and UNIX) boots and runs. Numerous games using NES-like SoCs from V.R. Technology have been promoted to working, including several from Lexibook’s Compact Cyber Arcade line. NEC’s PC-6001 family have had numerous issues fixed, as well as receiving a substantial update to their software lists. The steady progress on emulating electronic musical instruments hasn’t stopped, either.

As always, there’s far more in this release than we have time to talk about here, but you can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file. You can find the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages on our download page.

An experimental PlayStation 5 emulator built in C# — PS5-faithful dashboard UI, native CPU execution, HLE syscall layer, and Vulkan rendering. Based on SharpEmu by par274. - Release CraziiEmu v0.27-alpha · craze1pirate/craziiEmu

[Note: This a WIP build. Crashes may occur]

Changelog:

• Unity engine game 'New Super Lucky's Tale' now successfully progress past ELF/SELF loading and render their splash images.
• (Log: [LOADER][INFO] Vulkan VideoOut presented splash: 3840x2160).
• Vastly improved Vulkan initialization and VideoOut implementation for better fullscreen presentation and swapchain management. Now games are forced to boot in Fullscreen mode (Press F11 to get back to windowed mode)
• [Patched some work from SharpEmu] Optimized the Direct Execution backend, slashed runtime overhead, sped up module loading, and completely eliminated previous memory leak bottlenecks.
• Restored and improved controller/keyboard mapping, alongside ongoing development of core kernel services (thread scheduling, memory management, and sync primitives).
• Major overhaul to settings. Removed several unimplemented features that were present in previous build (Thought of adding it later but seems it is miles away to implement actually)

Known Bugs:

• A known memory management issue prevents certain titles from launching successfully after the first execution. Restarting the emulator is currently required before attempting another launch (will be fixed in next build)
• Certain Unity-based titles progress beyond ELF/SELF loading, module initialization, and Vulkan VideoOut initialization, but may enter repeated unresolved NID/HLE call loops. This results in excessive verbose logging, significantly increased log sizes, and eventual application termination (actively working on it for potential fix to boot).

I'm thinking of buying an AYN Thor soon but having second thoughts about it because I can't find any information about making instant save states when running programs like Citra. Can anyone confirm that the console supports save states like most desktop PC emulators can? Thanks.

The 4 OG Xbox releases for Win11 seem to be emulated indeed and XWine1 already found a way to play more games with the embedded emulator

Nitter bridge: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/XWineOne/status/2080172284422029742

On a side note, I guess this answers my previous post. But now it makes me wonder how to rebuild the ROMs from the provided files. e.e"

Are the games for the OG Xbox on Win11 emulated?

#xbox #emulation

Saw someone post this article elsewhere: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/22/xbox-backward-compatibility-on-pc/

In short, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy were made available to "purchase" (likely a glorified rental considering Microsoft's history, thus the quotation marks).

But also saw someone commenting "will be interesting to see if they're native ports or if this is the emulation thing that was rumored", this rumor of which I am not familiar with.

Still, in the possibility of that, I ask, is it?

I don't have Win11 myself to check. But if someone's digging to do it, from my experience with the Microsoft Store on Win10, people may need to mount the Windows install as a file partition on Linux to see the files Microsoft Store installs, so it may be needed on Win11 too.

As tittle suggests, we got another open source PS5 emulator. Key differences are targeting games compatability and a cross-platform support: currently emulator supports and builds for MacOS, Windows and Linux. As I understand, this project also relays on Kyty, similarly to KytyPS5 fork.

Current progress includes loading Demon Souls up to it's menu ( image source)

In case anyone is wonder why progress on the emulator appears slow or feature requests feel ignored, we are currently still understaffed and have, in addition to new bugs reported every day that have to be fixed, a backlog of items on our internal TODO list such as:

• EISA;
• Turbo Button for XT PCs;
• Emulation of the ESS Solo-1;
• PD (Phase-change Dual) and DVD-RAM support;
• IBM Expanded Memory Adapter (XMA);
• Passthrough of real CD/DVD drives to the emulator on macOS;
• Support for cloneCD and TOC CD-ROM image files;
• Mitsumi CD-ROM emulation (it would also allow eventual emulation of the Tandy VIS).

In addition, we are currently in severe need of developers and/or maintainers for the following:

• New dynamic recompiler;
• macOS support;
• Emulation of the NEC PC-98 family of computers;
• A potential built-in non-GDBSTUB debugger to replace the current GDBSTUB implementation;
• Our SDL backend;
• The ImGui OSD;
• The Qt UI.

We would also appreciate anyone who could help the fixing of issues that get reported to our GitHub or in our Discord server.

Sega Saturn emulator. Contribute to StrikerX3/Ymir development by creating an account on GitHub.

This is a small maintenance release that fixes a regression with Akumajou Dracula X (#904), improves autodetection of the Asia NTSC region (Korea and Taiwan), adds some missing theme colors introduced in recent ImGui updates, and corrects some documentation oversights. It also implements the VDP2 color gradation effect, fixing the background in Saturn Bomberman's Egg Birdon boss fight.

Changes
New features and improvements

• GUI: Specify missing ImGui style colors.
• System: Add Europe PAL and Asia NTSC (in that order) to default preferred regions after North America and Japan.
• VDP2: Implemented color gradation effect. Fixes background in the Egg Birdon boss arena of Saturn Bomberman.

Sega Genesis / Sega CD / SNES / Master System / Game Gear emulator - Release v0.13.0 · jsgroth/jgenesis

ow with cheat code support for Sega systems, support for the XE-1 AP analog controller for Genesis, and lots of smaller fixes and improvements.

This release includes preliminary support for emulating the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16, although the CD-ROM add-on is not yet supported so a huge chunk of the library doesn't work yet. All HuCard-based games should work, barring potential bugs.

Save states are not compatible with previous versions.

SUPER ZSNES - A GPU-powered SNES emulator rewritten from scratch with hi-res Mode 7, per-game enhancements, and a modernized classic UI.
What's new in v0.230:

• Optimized GPU memory allocations & texture upload routines
• Initial SuperFX emulation (note: Not enhanced yet, still some work to be done)
• Fixed windowing off by 1 line issues
• Fixes to dual window shader logic
• Fixes to BG latch routines
• Forced blank fixed color issues fixed
• Added separate volume control for MSU1 audio
• Added CRC check for DSP1 rom, improved message for persistent data folder location
• Added disable '.szsnes' folder saves checkbox
• Fixed audio glitch when loading new game
• SRAM and main menu settings now saved more frequently
• Optimized enhancement data loading speed
• Added HEX editing of GUI colors, multiple default settings (Default, Classic ZSNES, Red)

Note: The PC version may trigger a false trojan warning in certain virus scanners. It's pretty common as emulators have a certain pattern in them that scanners find similar to how trojans sometimes work.
