==Overview==
+
[[Category:Emulators]]
ares began development on October 14th, 2004. It is available under the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) license, which is a permissive license that is functionally similar to the BSD and MIT licenses. It used to be under the terms of the Creative Commons (CC) BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, which it made the ares emulator a non-commercial software that does not permit publishing modifications (forks) online. The reason for this was to prevent splintering development between higan and ares. The change from the Creative Commons license to the ISC license was made before Near tragically passed away.

Bochs is an open-source 386, 486 and Pentium emulator written in C++ geared around emulating the full x86 architecture. It's designed to emulate every x86 instruction and device, prioritising accuracy at the cost of speed.

Bochs has very rudimentary support for emulation of FM Towns, which development was abandoned long time ago, so this can be used as an "FM Towns emulator" purely only for curiosity sake. UNZ/MAME/Tsugaru are much better for FM Towns emulation nowadays.
