EMULATORS
libraries, tools, and documentation

by Marat Fayzullin

Nintendo Entertainment System, Famicom, GameBoy, Super GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Pocket Printer, GameLink, and DiskSystem are trademarks of Nintendo. SEGA SG-1000, SC-3000, SF-7000, Mark II/III, Master System, and GameGear are trademarks of SEGA. While programs presented at this site attempt to create "compatible" environment for the gaming software, they are not equivalent to the original hardware.

Emulators are programs that make old software "think" that it is running on the original hardware, while it really runs on your smartphone or in a window on your desktop. I am creating emulators since 1993 and have made quite a few of them. Below, you will find the complete collection of my emulators.

For those who would like to try making an emulator on their own but do not know where to start, I have written a short introduction into the craft and provided free libraries, tools, and documentation. To get help, report a bug, or suggest a new feature, use the EMUL8 discussion group. To ask me a personal question, discuss licensing my works, or offer me a job, email me.
