The '''Amiga''' is a series of computers released by [[wikipedia:Commodore_International|Commodore]] starting in 1985. It was a very powerful and capable machine for its time, featuring a [[POS (Pong Consoles) CPUs and Other Chips#68k CPUs|Motorola 68000]] and custom chips dedicated to IO, sound, graphics and more. This family of computers became quite popular, especially in Europe, spawning a huge library of games over time. Due to its superior graphics capabilities compared to its contemporaries, it was widely used in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to video editing systems such as the Video Toaster. It was even used by skate companies to edit their videos.
The later Amigas failed to advance vastly on the old models, and the family lost its gain to newer video game consoles and other PC architectures. Eventually, Commodore went bankrupt, and production of Amiga hardware and games has been on the decline since. Despite this, there are still a handful of loyal Amiga users today. Software continues to be developed for the classic machines, as well as a newer line of [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]]-based Amigas released in the 2000s and beyond.

The Amiga was a tremendously complex machine, with multiple revisions to its hardware and system software. This can make emulation quite tricky, as figuring out the requirements for any specific game can be fairly difficult.

A commercial package exists, "Amiga Forever", from Cloanto, which elides past many of the complexities of Amiga emulation. It includes fully licensed ROMs, system disks, and (for applicable machines) hard drive OS images for every model that Commodore shipped. The package itself is effectively a very sophisticated frontend for WinUAE and WinFellow but comes with pre-configured setups for many games. If you have sufficient expertise, you can manually do everything it's doing, but it's pretty convenient even for experts. It's also the easiest way to get legal copies of the original system ROMs.

=== Descriptions ===

; [[WinUAE]]
: The most accurate and fully-featured Amiga emulator, but it is Windows-only and complicated to set up. Able to be configured into almost any Amiga configuration imaginable, including the PowerPC acceleration boards via [[QEMU]] and the PC Sidecar via [[PCem]].

; [[FS-UAE]]
: Incorporates the latest and most accurate emulation code from WinUAE and supports most of its features, but is cross-platform and with a much simpler user interface oriented towards common gaming configurations. It has built-in support for direct loading of the WHDLoad format, which greatly simplifies playing games.

; PUAE
: A continuation of E-UAE that is the port of UAE to Unix-like operating systems. It was made into a libretro core and is the primary version of UAE for this purpose.

; WinFellow
: Another emulator with a long history, being initiated shortly after the original UAE. It is Windows-only, as the Linux version XFellow has not been updated since 2003. It primarily focuses on the earliest Amiga models, specifically aiming to run most demoscene from these machines on the modest computers of the time. While it is still usable for this purpose, it is less accurate than UAE and is only recommended if you need the performance boost.

; Denise
: Primarily a C64 emulator, but later versions added support for early Amiga models. It only supports the Amiga 500/1000 but does claim cycle accuracy and has a simple user interface that "just works" for playing games.

=== Console-focused ===

==== [[wikipedia:Commodore_CDTV|Commodore CDTV]] ====
The Commodore CDTV was an Amiga 500 but for the console market. It was released in March of 1991 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|999|1991}}.

==== [[wikipedia:Amiga_CD32|Amiga CD32]] ====
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_CD32 Amiga CD32] is an Amiga 1200-based console that came with a CD-ROM drive and was first released in September 1993. It could also be upgraded to mimic an Amiga 1200 PC by equipping it with third-party add-ons like a keyboard, floppy drive, hard drive, RAM and a mouse. A hardware MPEG decompression module for playing Video CDs was also released.

== Emulation of PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4 ==
PowerPC-based Amiga computers were made by a few different enterprises under the license of Commodore International after its demise. They come with a new version of AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4.x, which only runs on PowerPC-based Amiga hardware or Motorola 68K-based Amiga computers with extra PowerPC acceleration boards.

[[QEMU]] supports emulation of [https://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=5 Sam460ex] motherboard manufactured by ACube Systems, which is officially supported by AmigaOS 4.1, but usability is yet to be determined.

[[FS-UAE]] and [[WinUAE]] can emulate the PowerPC acceleration board, so it could also run AmigaOS 4.x if a compatible PowerPC acceleration board such as [http://8bitplus.co.uk/articles/amiga-blizzard-ppc/ Blizzard PPC] has been properly configured. Extra ROM files are required to emulate these acceleration boards.

== 68K Amiga emulation on PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4 ==
AmigaOS 4.x comes with 2 68K Amiga emulators: BlackBox and Petunia, and they will automatically start when trying to run old 68K-based Amiga programs.

BlackBox is an interpretive emulator. Thus the emulation speed is mediocre but provides lower input latency and better compatibility; Petunia uses dynamic recompilation to speed up emulation but consumes more memory and with less compatibility.

Petunia could be disabled entirely on boot to save memory or only for certain programs that are not compatible with it. Check [https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:How_AmigaOS_Works#Motorola_680x0_Emulators AmigaOS 4 Documentation] for more information.

AmigaOS 4.x never make use of real 68K hardware, even when running on an actual 68K-based Commodore Amiga with the PowerPC acceleration board.

On emulated PowerPC-based Amiga, both emulators run quite slow as it's running an emulator inside an emulator, causing great performance loss.

The later Amigas failed to advance vastly on the old models, and the family lost its gain to newer video game consoles and other PC architectures. Eventually, Commodore went bankrupt, and production of Amiga hardware and games has been on the decline since. Despite this, there are still a handful of loyal Amiga users today. Software continues to be developed for the classic machines, as well as a newer line of [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]]-based Amigas released in the 2000s and beyond.

The Amiga was a tremendously complex machine, with multiple revisions to its hardware and system software. This can make emulation quite tricky, as figuring out the requirements for any specific game can be fairly difficult.

A commercial package exists, "Amiga Forever", from Cloanto, which elides past many of the complexities of Amiga emulation. It includes fully licensed ROMs, system disks, and (for applicable machines) hard drive OS images for every model that Commodore shipped. The package itself is effectively a very sophisticated frontend for WinUAE and WinFellow but comes with pre-configured setups for many games. If you have sufficient expertise, you can manually do everything it's doing, but it's pretty convenient even for experts. It's also the easiest way to get legal copies of the original system ROMs.

=== Descriptions ===

; [[WinUAE]]
: The most accurate and fully-featured Amiga emulator, but it is Windows-only and complicated to set up. Able to be configured into almost any Amiga configuration imaginable, including the PowerPC acceleration boards via [[QEMU]] and the PC Sidecar via [[PCem]].

; [[FS-UAE]]
: Incorporates the latest and most accurate emulation code from WinUAE and supports most of its features, but is cross-platform and with a much simpler user interface oriented towards common gaming configurations. It has built-in support for direct loading of the WHDLoad format, which greatly simplifies playing games.

; PUAE
: A continuation of E-UAE that is the port of UAE to Unix-like operating systems. It was made into a libretro core and is the primary version of UAE for this purpose.

; WinFellow
: Another emulator with a long history, being initiated shortly after the original UAE. It is Windows-only, as the Linux version XFellow has not been updated since 2003. It primarily focuses on the earliest Amiga models, specifically aiming to run most demoscene from these machines on the modest computers of the time. While it is still usable for this purpose, it is less accurate than UAE and is only recommended if you need the performance boost.

; Denise
: Primarily a C64 emulator, but later versions added support for early Amiga models. It only supports the Amiga 500/1000 but does claim cycle accuracy and has a simple user interface that "just works" for playing games.

== Emulation of PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4 ==
PowerPC-based Amiga computers were made by a few different enterprises under the license of Commodore International after its demise. They come with a new version of AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4.x, which only runs on PowerPC-based Amiga hardware or Motorola 68K-based Amiga computers with extra PowerPC acceleration boards.

[[QEMU]] supports emulation of [https://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=5 Sam460ex] motherboard manufactured by ACube Systems, which is officially supported by AmigaOS 4.1, but usability is yet to be determined.

[[FS-UAE]] and [[WinUAE]] can emulate the PowerPC acceleration board, so it could also run AmigaOS 4.x if a compatible PowerPC acceleration board such as [http://8bitplus.co.uk/articles/amiga-blizzard-ppc/ Blizzard PPC] has been properly configured. Extra ROM files are required to emulate these acceleration boards.

== 68K Amiga emulation on PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4 ==
AmigaOS 4.x comes with 2 68K Amiga emulators: BlackBox and Petunia, and they will automatically start when trying to run old 68K-based Amiga programs.

BlackBox is an interpretive emulator. Thus the emulation speed is mediocre but provides lower input latency and better compatibility; Petunia uses dynamic recompilation to speed up emulation but consumes more memory and with less compatibility.

Petunia could be disabled entirely on boot to save memory or only for certain programs that are not compatible with it. Check [https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:How_AmigaOS_Works#Motorola_680x0_Emulators AmigaOS 4 Documentation] for more information.

AmigaOS 4.x never make use of real 68K hardware, even when running on an actual 68K-based Commodore Amiga with the PowerPC acceleration board.

On emulated PowerPC-based Amiga, both emulators run quite slow as it's running an emulator inside an emulator, causing great performance loss.

The '''Amiga''' is a series of computers released by [[wikipedia:Commodore_International|Commodore]] starting in 1985. It was a very powerful and capable machine for its time, featuring a [[POS (Pong Consoles) CPUs and Other Chips#68k CPUs|Motorola 68000]] and custom chips dedicated to IO, sound, graphics and more. This family of computers became quite popular, especially in Europe, spawning a huge library of games over time. Due to its superior graphics capabilities compared to its contemporaries, it was widely used in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to video editing systems such as the Video Toaster. It was even used by skate companies to edit their videos.
The later Amigas failed to advance vastly on the old models, and the family lost its gain to newer video game consoles and other PC architectures. Eventually, Commodore went bankrupt, and production of Amiga hardware and games has been on the decline since. Despite this, there are still a handful of loyal Amiga users today. Software continues to be developed for the classic machines, as well as a newer line of [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]]-based Amigas released in the 2000s and beyond.

The Amiga was a tremendously complex machine, with multiple revisions to its hardware and system software. This can make emulation quite tricky, as figuring out the requirements for any specific game can be fairly difficult.

A commercial package exists, "Amiga Forever", from Cloanto, which elides past many of the complexities of Amiga emulation. It includes fully licensed ROMs, system disks, and (for applicable machines) hard drive OS images for every model that Commodore shipped. The package itself is effectively a very sophisticated frontend for WinUAE and WinFellow but comes with pre-configured setups for many games. If you have sufficient expertise, you can manually do everything it's doing, but it's pretty convenient even for experts. It's also the easiest way to get legal copies of the original system ROMs.

=== Descriptions ===

; [[WinUAE]]
: The most accurate and fully-featured Amiga emulator, but it is Windows-only and complicated to set up. Able to be configured into almost any Amiga configuration imaginable, including the PowerPC acceleration boards via [[QEMU]] and the PC Sidecar via [[PCem]].

; [[FS-UAE]]
: Incorporates the latest and most accurate emulation code from WinUAE and supports most of its features, but is cross-platform and with a much simpler user interface oriented towards common gaming configurations. It has built-in support for direct loading of the WHDLoad format, which greatly simplifies playing games.

; PUAE
: A continuation of E-UAE that is the port of UAE to Unix-like operating systems. It was made into a libretro core and is the primary version of UAE for this purpose.

; WinFellow
: Another emulator with a long history, being initiated shortly after the original UAE. It is Windows-only, as the Linux version XFellow has not been updated since 2003. It primarily focuses on the earliest Amiga models, specifically aiming to run most demoscene from these machines on the modest computers of the time. While it is still usable for this purpose, it is less accurate than UAE and is only recommended if you need the performance boost.

; Denise
: Primarily a C64 emulator, but later versions added support for early Amiga models. It only supports the Amiga 500/1000 but does claim cycle accuracy and has a simple user interface that "just works" for playing games.

== Hardware variants ==

=== Console-focused ===

==== [[wikipedia:Commodore_CDTV|Commodore CDTV]] ====
The Commodore CDTV was an Amiga 500 but for the console market. It was released in March of 1991 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|999|1991}}.

==== [[wikipedia:Amiga_CD32|Amiga CD32]] ====
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_CD32 Amiga CD32] is an Amiga 1200-based console that came with a CD-ROM drive and was first released in September 1993. It could also be upgraded to mimic an Amiga 1200 PC by equipping it with third-party add-ons like a keyboard, floppy drive, hard drive, RAM and a mouse. A hardware MPEG decompression module for playing Video CDs was also released.

== Emulation of PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4 ==
PowerPC-based Amiga computers were made by a few different enterprises under the license of Commodore International after its demise. They come with a new version of AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4.x, which only runs on PowerPC-based Amiga hardware or Motorola 68K-based Amiga computers with extra PowerPC acceleration boards.

[[QEMU]] supports emulation of [https://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=5 Sam460ex] motherboard manufactured by ACube Systems, which is officially supported by AmigaOS 4.1, but usability is yet to be determined.

[[FS-UAE]] and [[WinUAE]] can emulate the PowerPC acceleration board, so it could also run AmigaOS 4.x if a compatible PowerPC acceleration board such as [http://8bitplus.co.uk/articles/amiga-blizzard-ppc/ Blizzard PPC] has been properly configured. Extra ROM files are required to emulate these acceleration boards.

== 68K Amiga emulation on PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4 ==
AmigaOS 4.x comes with 2 68K Amiga emulators: BlackBox and Petunia, and they will automatically start when trying to run old 68K-based Amiga programs.

BlackBox is an interpretive emulator. Thus the emulation speed is mediocre but provides lower input latency and better compatibility; Petunia uses dynamic recompilation to speed up emulation but consumes more memory and with less compatibility.

Petunia could be disabled entirely on boot to save memory or only for certain programs that are not compatible with it. Check [https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:How_AmigaOS_Works#Motorola_680x0_Emulators AmigaOS 4 Documentation] for more information.

AmigaOS 4.x never make use of real 68K hardware, even when running on an actual 68K-based Commodore Amiga with the PowerPC acceleration board.

On emulated PowerPC-based Amiga, both emulators run quite slow as it's running an emulator inside an emulator, causing great performance loss.

{{NEL}}
Before the smartphones we know today were staples of mainstream culture, mobile phones, and their technology were pretty rudimentary and often relied on apps made in Java seeing as the language was designed to be portable (though Windows Mobile and Symbian were also somewhat popular as proto-smartphone platforms of choice). This didn't keep games from being developed for these platforms. Casual simplistic games and rip-offs of retro franchises thrived, but it attracted some genuinely fun games that forever remained obscure, such as those from Gameloft.

The situation is quite different in Japan where mobile hardware was much more developed, and major video game developers were much more invested in creating unique and high-quality content that's most obscure and unpreserved, let alone emulated, today. Those are the very different [[wikipedia:Galapagos syndrome|Galapagos mobile phones]] (like NTT DoCoMo i-mode, KDDI ezWeb, SoftBank...). Some of these games got ported to the inferior Western hardware but these are in the tiny minority.

=== Monochrome mobile phones (S30/S40) ===
Earlier black & white cellphone games (both in Japan and worldwide) didn't get as much love either when it comes to emulation and preservation of game binaries. There were, however, recreations of Snake and Space Impact for Nokia phones on their website at one time, along with remakes of the aforementioned games for Android and iOS. There are several Nokia phone models with MAME support, though they are preliminary at best with most models displaying a <code>"CONTACT SERVICE"</code> error if not a white screen.

There however exists an SDK for the Nokia 3410, an enhanced variant of the infamous 3310 with a higher-resolution screen and support for MIDP applications. A fixed rip of the simulator can be downloaded on the Internet Archive, though it may have some issues especially on later Windows versions.

=== Execution Engine ([[ExEn]]) ===
ExEn was a freeware solution developed by French company In-Fusio around 2000 and later the company re-developed the ExEn V2 engine in 2002, which further improved the speed and expressiveness of mobile. It was first Java-based game engine entirely dedicated to mobile devices itself as an alternative to the limitations of J2ME's game development (offering missing feautures like sprite zooming, parallax scrolling, rotations).

The API is based on Java and is very similar to J2ME, but is optimized for game development and deployment instead. Even the programming style is almost the same. Its significance is very similar to the Mophun platform. The ExEn API has various gaming specific classes that are absent from J2ME. ExEn was the first mass market downloadable game engine to be made available in Europe. It achieved relative success and widespread hardware support in Europe, and was also used in China. It's not as widely distributed though, and according to In-Fusio's website, it isn't available on Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung or Motorola handsets.

: Only compatible with 13 games, all of which use the 3D engine and were released for Symbian S60 and UIQ devices.

; 4Mophun
: Does not work with games that are locked (e.g. have a predefined IMEI recognition algorithm) or do not use the 3D engine.

; Wolphun
: An open-source Mophun emulator written in Java. It reimplements the Mophun PIP2 virtual machine along with its 2D/3D SDK, and includes built-in DRM decryption so commercial titles run directly. Games such as Honey Cave 2 are fully playable, with MIDI/PCM sound, save states and multi-language support. Originally built for Java SE (desktop), it also has an Android port.

; [[mophun]]
: An official emulator, designed for development and demos. As such, encrypted or compressed games do not boot. However, this has been worked around, both by decrypting the files and decompressing them (except for compressed resources), and modifying the emulator to perform decryption on the fly, albeit only when opening them via the Open menu. Exile is not known to work in any found version of the emulator.

; MoRePhun
: A new, open source emulator by Luca91. It is only a proof of concept, as only a few opcodes and a couple of SDK APIs are emulated, and there is no heap. There is sprite and input support, as well as support for the collision API. It is compatible with a few small homebrews. Luca91 mentions the SDK API handler needs to be better organized.

== Japanese cellphones ==
Several Japanese-centric mobile game technologies spawned during the 2000's as part of convoluted all-in-one technological solutions, mostly based on Java.

* NTT DoCoMo released '''DoJa''' (later renamed to Star), based on Java ME CLDC, but not MIDP. Applications come in the form of .JAR files accompained by a .JAM descriptor.

* KDDI released '''ezplus''' (later renamed to "EZ-appli (Java)"), based on Java ME extended with proprietary APIs. Applications come in the form of .KJX files. It was later replaced with a BREW-based solution called "EZ-appli (BREW)"

* J-PHONE released '''J-SKY''', based on standard J2ME MIDP extended with several proprietary 3D/sound/gfx APIs. It was later renamed to "Vodafone Live!" and "Yahoo! Keitai" as the company got purchased by Vodafone and SoftBank, respectively. Applications come in the form of .JAR and .JAD files.

It is possible to develop applications that work both under ezplus, J-SKY and standard J2ME devices by using only MIDP1.0 APIs

=== i-mode (DoJa/Star) ===
Japanese mobile manufacturer NTT DoCoMo released [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoJa DoJa] (DoCoMo's Java) as part of their i-mode set of standards for mobile telephony. It is based on Java ME CLDC, but not MIDP. The profile received several updates, being later renamed to "Star". It was used on DoCoMo's mova and FOMA series of mobile phones, being first featured on the mova 503i from 2001.

While i-mode phones were made available in a limited fashion in Europe, with various games for DoJa "Overseas Edition" seeing release, the services didn't prove popular enough and were shut down in a matter of years. The main reason for the limited support was the fierce push back by Nokia and other western mobile hardware manufacturers refusing to support the DoJa software standard until very late.

DeNa (Mobage), Namco (Tales of Mobile) and Level-5 (RoiD) set up Steam-like game distribution portals specific to some cell-phone models yet i-mode based.

Applications were denominated "i-αppli" (Japanese: iアプリ) and come in the form of <code>.JAR</code> files accompained by a <code>.JAM</code> descriptor text file.

=== KDDI EZplus ===
Japanese carrier KDDI/Au released ezplus as part of their EZweb set of standards for mobile telephony. It is based on Java ME extended with proprietary APIs. The first device supporting it was released on 2001 (Hitachi C451H). ezplus was later renamed to "EZ-appli (Java)" (Japanese: "EZアプリ (Java)") and gradually replaced with a BREW-based solution called "EZ-appli (BREW)" until 2004 when the last ezplus device was released.

In 2006 an Open Application Player (Japanese: オープンアプリプレイヤー) feature was added allowing to run MIDP 2.0 Java apps on the BREW devices, which were often denominated as オープンアプリ. It lacks support for the original proprietary extensions of ezplus. On 2011, Open Application Player was updated and renamed to "EZ-appli (J)" along EZ-appli (BREW) which became "EZ-appli (B)"

Applications were denominated "ezplus アプリ" (during the ezplus name era) and come in the form of <code>.KJX</code> files.

=== J-SKY ===
Japanese service provider 'J-PHONE' released the J-SKY platform as part of their set of standards for mobile telephony. It was based on J2ME and MIDP extended with several proprietary 3D/sound/gfx APIs called JSCL. J-PHONE had been purchased by Vodafone on 2001, which two years later took over the original branding renaming the carrier to Vodafone KK. The J-SKY technology became then known as "Vodafone Live!" and it was extended with the VSCL set of APIs. On 2006, Vodafone KK was purchased by SoftBank Group, getting this technology rebranded again as "Yahoo! Keitai".

Applications were called "Java™ App" (Japanese: Java™アプリ) during the J-SKY era, "V-Appli" (Japanese: Vアプリ) during the Vodafone era and "S! Appli" (Japanese: S!アプリ) during the SoftBank era. They come in the form of <code>.JAR</code> accompained by a <code>.JAD</code> descriptor text file.

== Korean cellphones ==
'''SKT (Sunkyong Telecom)''' provided two development platforms: GVM and SK-VM. GVM based on Mobile C, and SK-VM based on Java. SK-VM was a Java-based development platform, but the execution speed was slower than GVM due to the nature of Java. SK-VM is a J2ME (Java 2 Micro Eidtion) Java execution environment developed

'''GVM (General Virtual Machine)''': GVM1X, GVM2X Mobile platform created based on Mobile C (modified to fit the mobile environment, such as reduction of pointer and union functions in the existing C language) developed by Shinji Soft.

'''GNEX (General & Next Multimedia Player)''': GVM3X A mobile platform that eliminates the limitations of the existing GVM and further strengthens functions such as file system, network, and graphics. GNEX is an upgraded version of GVM, and has the advantage of having few capacity restrictions and fast speed, but its penetration has fallen significantly compared to GVM. Therefore, when releasing a GNEX version of a game, we developed both the GVM version and the GNEX version to support phones that do not support GNEX

'''KTF (Korea Telecom Freete)''' provided Qualcomm's BREW. The biggest advantage is that it is based on C/C++, and unlike other development platforms, it is executed in the form of a native binary rather than being executed based on a VM. it is an integrated platform, but it has been divided into SKT-WIPI, KT-WIPI, and LGT-WIPI. For example, SKT-WIPI and LGT-WIPI supported C/C++, while KTF-WIPI supported only C. Aside from that, many other aspects differed from carrier to carrier.

'''LGT (Lucky Goldstar Telecom)''' - MIDP [JAVA] A mobile platform that adds additional functions such as sound to J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) of LG MIDP JAVA SUN. LGT's platform is sometimes called MIDP and JAVA

- SKT's WIPI-JAVA

- SKT's WIPI-C

- KTF's WIPI-JAVA

- KTF's WIPI-C

- LGT's WIPI-JAVA (LGT does not support WIPI-C)

=== Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability (WIPI) ===
WIPI a national middleware platform standard in South Korea. Almost all cellphone games released in South Korea from 2002 to 2009 were developed as WIPI. SKT (GNEX, SKVM), KTF (BREW), LGT (MIDP-JAVA), etc. are these, and they are currently converting to an integrated platform called WIPI. After conversion to an integrated platform called WIPI, mobile games have higher quality graphics and game ability than before.

=== HarmonyOS ===
Huawei's operating system. Has very controversial advertising.

Older HarmonyOS (<4.0.0 ?) has compatibility with Android applications (and is commonly doubted as nothing more than an Android fork due to architecture similarities) while newer Harmony OS NEXT removed native Android support (instead Android applications are run in containers similar to [https://www.docker.com Docker]) and is supposed to have a different OS kernel and architecture.

[https://openharmony.io OpenHarmony] is the open-source fork of Harmony OS NEXT.

HarmonyOS applications are written in ArkTS programming language which is a fork of [https://www.typescriptlang.org/ TypeScript]. Applications packages are in <code>.hap</code> format.

DevEco Studio is the official tool for developing HarmonyOS applications, which comes with an emulator.

== Qualcomm ==

=== Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) ===
A mobile development platform by Qualcomm, originally intended for CDMA handsets such as those sold by Verizon. Unlike Java ME, applications and games for BREW use native code as opposed to running in a virtual machine in the case of Java ME. Also, BREW development has a higher barrier to entry due to stringent certification requirements, which led it to be significantly less popular than Java ME even in markets where CDMA has a significant market share, such as in North America. To top it all off, downloaded BREW apps are tied to an individual handset via a digital signature, making piracy or sideloading difficult; it is however possible to unlock certain BREW-enabled CDMA phones to run backups and pirated apps, though downloads for BREW apps and games are rare and hard to find compared to Java ME.

''Zeebo'' is a Brazilian and Mexican video game console and online distribution platform developed and released with developing markets in mind, also runs on BREW. [https://myrient.erista.me/files/No-Intro/Zeebo%20-%20Zeebo/ Dumps of the Zeebo and its games exist,] and gameplay footage of them have been uploaded on YouTube.

== Danger ==

=== Danger OS ===
Developed by Danger Incorporated. Danger OS was a Java-based OS used on phones that Danger designed themselves. These devices were sold under many names such as Hiptop, Mobiflip, Sharp Jump, and (most notably) T-Mobile Sidekick. While it could run some J2ME apps (from version 2.3 onward), it also used its own proprietary J2SE-based APIs and SDK; for this reason, anything built using these APIs won't run on a standard J2ME emulator. To aid third-party software design, Danger has released a comprehensive SDK that contains a Hiptop simulator, development installation utilities, and Danger API information.

Danger OS uses special files called "bundles". Bundle files have the extension <code>.bndl</code>. Bundles have inside a custom resource format for storing assets and code which is converted from Java bytecode into a custom bytecode format. Each bundle file is linked to a specific operating system version and build number. For example, a bundle file for v3.4/155053 (T-Mobile Sidekick 3) would be denied installation on a v3.3/149695 device (T-Mobile Sidekick iD). Installation of bundles require a developer key to be installed on your device if you are using a Production OS. Internal OS builds do not require developer keys.

== TTPcom ==

=== Wireless Games Engine ([[WGE]]) ===
WGE (Wireless Game Engine) was a proprietary mobile gaming engine developed by TTP Communications Ltd. (TTPCom) around 2001 and discontinued in 2003. Unlike J2ME, WGE executed native C/C++ binary code without a virtual machine, allowing much faster performance and lower memory usage on early mobile phones.

The engine supported high-quality 2D graphics, basic 3D, sound, networking, and multiplayer, and enabled secure OTA downloads with DRM. Its WGI API exposed device features through modular components such as graphics, sound, input, and networking, and could be accessed via C++ or Java. WGE also included J-WGE, which accelerated Java games using native code.

WGE saw limited adoption on devices from Innostream, Panasonic, LG, and TTPCom, with around 22 known games, many of which are now lost.

=== Fire OS ===
Fire OS is a mobile operating system developed by Amazon for their Fire line of devices. It is basically a heavily-modified [[Android]] distribution with extensive dependency on Amazon services. Apps sold on the Amazon App Store should run fine on any Android emulator with little to no issue. (Stock) Windows Subsystem for Android is recommended as it includes Amazon-exclusive frameworks.

The '''Intel-based PC''' architecture originated from the 1981, IBM PC / model 5150. Due to being designed with off-the-shelf hardware, clone manufacturers could produce compatible hardware and was only limited by the copyright on the PC's BIOS. To circumvent this, competitors such as Compaq created their own compatible BIOSes using clean-room reverse engineering. See, [https://www.quora.com/How-did-Compaq-reverse-engineered-patented-IBM-code Compaq reverse-engineered patented IBM BIOS code].

IBM PC is also the basis for the IBM PC-compatible de-facto standard. IBM PC-compatible computers are technically similar to the original IBM PC, XT, and AT, all from computer giant IBM, that are able to use the same software and expansion cards. Such computers were referred to as PC clones, IBM clones or IBM PC clones. The term "IBM PC compatible" is now a historical description only, since IBM no longer sells personal computers after it sold its personal computer division in 2005 to Chinese technology company Lenovo. The designation "PC", as used in much of personal computer history, has not meant "personal computer" generally, but rather an x86 computer capable of running the same software that a contemporary IBM PC could. The term was initially in contrast to the variety of home computer systems available in the early 1980s, such as the Apple II, TRS-80, and Commodore 64. Later, the term was primarily used in contrast to Apple's Macintosh computers. During the 1990s, IBM's influence on PC architecture started to decline. "IBM PC compatible" becomes "Standard PC" in 1990s, and later "ACPI PC" in 2000s. An IBM-brand PC became the exception rather than the rule. Instead of placing importance on compatibility with the IBM PC, vendors began to emphasize compatibility with Windows.

While the PC is technically capable of running many different operating systems, most of the emulators on this page are intended for [[POS (Pong Consoles) CPUs and Other Chips#x86 CPUs|x86]] computers running DOS software, [[DOS-based, Windows 1.0x/2x/3x series|some kind of DOS-based Windows]] and [[Windows 95/98/ME emulators|Windows 9x]] (see [[Intel-based PC emulator comparisons#Operating systems|operating systems section]]). If you wish to run software intended for [[Windows NT 5.x emulators|Windows 2000 and Windows XP]] or even a [[Windows NT 6.x emulators|newer version of Windows]] it is suggested to use a "recommended solution" mentioned in their dedicated pages. Most emulators on this page requires an operating system to run, exceptions to this are DOSBox forks and DREAMM, with the former having its own DOS implementation and the latter implementing both DOS and Win32 APIs. If you want to run Windows software in DOSBox fork you still need a Windows install though.

Keep in mind that due to DOS and Windows running on a range of [[Intel-based PC emulator comparisons#Hardware.2C peripherals.2C and features|different hardware]], cycle accuracy is less crucial than for most systems covered by this wiki, as software could not rely on cycle timing of a particular chip without excluding a large part of the market.

These emulators provides an excellent compatibility and [[Intel-based PC emulator comparisons#Hardware features and peripherals|hardware and peripheral support]] for DOS-based operating systems such as Windows 3.x, [[Windows 95/98/ME emulators|Windows ME/98/95]] (and even NT-based [[Windows NT 5.x emulators|XP]], [[Windows NT 6.x emulators|Vista or Windows 7]] supported but not recommended) that is beyond what "DOSBox forks" can offer but unlike "DOSBox forks" these emulators usually requires modest to top-notch [https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html single-thread performance of CPUs]. As of June 14, 2021, PCem's original developer, Sarah Walker, has stopped working on the project. It has now been taken over on December 18, 2021, by a new maintainer, Michael Manley. 86Box ([https://github.com/OBattler/PCem-X?tab=readme-ov-file#pcem-x- formerly known as PCem-X]) is a fork of PCem which is [https://github.com/86Box/86Box/issues/3577 developed more actively], while PCBox and VARCem are forks of 86Box.

:: PCem v15 introduced a rewritten dynamic recompiler (dynarec), which was primarily aimed at improving emulation performance in games; however, it also caused minor to severe performance regressions in certain cases. The default 86Box build (a.k.a ODR) uses the pre-v15 PCem dynarec, with optimizations performed by the devs, as they have determined that the new one causes too many regressions to be adopted as the default. The NDR builds of 86Box use the new dynarec. ARM builds use only the new dynarec.
:: PCem’s emulation of some core system components, such as the Programmable Interval Timer (PIT), takes certain shortcuts to improve performance. These shortcuts are mostly fine for games, which is what PCem targets, however, they have caused issues with the software preservation side of things. In addition to taking fewer shortcuts, 86Box also tries to follow the specifications of these components, rather than implement the minimum viable feature set, which is - once again - mostly good enough for games, but not for some other applications. Generally speaking, the more accurate a component’s emulation is, the more host CPU horsepower is required.

: [[DOSBox]] is another option for emulating many older computer games specially for pretty good performance with low-end computers but compatibility, accuracy and [[Intel-based PC emulator comparisons#Hardware features and peripherals|hardware support]] aren't as good as [[PCem]] or [[86Box]]. [[DOSBox]] is no longer updated but it has many "DOSBox forks" over the years. Windows 95/98/ME can be installed in "DOSBox forks" and also supports 3DFX Voodoo emulation. Even more forks are listed in the [https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/wiki/DOSBox-forks "DOSBox forks" page of DOSBox Staging's GitHub wiki] or [[DOSBox#Forks|here]].
:: [https://dosbox-x.com/ DOSBox-X] is vastly different from other "DOSBox forks" in that it aims to be a complete emulation package that covers all pre-2000 DOS and Windows 9x based hardware scenarios. It features more flexibility by way of config options and an accompanying frontend to customize the DOS VM further, and beyond games it also supports standard software for DOS, as well as DOS-based Windows including Windows 3.x and 9x/ME with 3D acceleration via 3dfx emulation. The project also has its own [https://dosbox-x.com/wiki wiki] which contains extensive documentation on DOSBox-X, and a summary of notable added features can be seen [https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/DOSBox%E2%80%90X%E2%80%99s-Feature-Highlights here]. While DOSBox-X currently supports emulation of [[Intel-based PC emulator comparisons#Intel CPUs|IBM PC/XT/AT]], Toshiba AX/J3100, IBM PCjr/Tandy, and [[NEC PC-9800 series]] architecture, the maintainer, Jonathan Campbell, does not plan to add any other MS-DOS system. This limitation is mainly done to prevent bloating of the codebase, keeping it at a manageable level for himself while also staying organized. However, the codebase does contain stubbed source files for [[FM Towns emulators|FM Towns]] emulation in the event that other programmers want to add that functionality.
:: [https://docs.libretro.com/library/dosbox_pure/ DOSBox Pure] is a new DOSBox fork originally built specifically for RetroArch/Libretro, but now available as a standalone emulator. According to its project description, it aims for simplicity and ease of use just like DOSBox Staging. On top of that, it has an advantage over other "DOSBox forks" because of libretro features ({{YouTubeVideo|W8zCEf9prmQ|EmuVR support}}, [[Shaders, filters, and sound#Shader presets|Shader presets/Overlays]] and configs etc). Some of the other advantages are save-states, wider platform support (including Switch and Vita) and input auto-configuration fetched from the game database. It's good for users who want to experience their DOS games without too much hassle with settings, in a simple way akin to how console emulators deal with ROMs.

:: [https://github.com/realnc/dosbox-core DOSBox-core] is an alternative core for RetroArch/Libretro, which focuses on being as close in use as upstream DOSBox. Its advantages include using .conf files to run games, ability to use external MIDI synths (like the Roland Sound Canvas VA, the Yamaha S-YXG50, or whatever else) so that you can get much higher quality MIDI music in dosbox-core, and has more configuration options befitting more advanced users. Its disadvantages are slightly worse input lag (like half a frame), lack of save-states and runs on less platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS and Android; consoles like Vita and Switch are unavailable)

A 85c496/7 chipset is also supported.) and seperate CMOS settings like the other architectures) emulator(with various, configurable hardware), with up to 80386 timings (80486SX and Pentium using 80386 timings or 1 cycle for newer/unknown timings/instructions, both having no floating point unit)).

In basic CPU's, all generations in between are supported (8086/8088, 80186/80188, 80286, 80386sx/dx, 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium II. All without FPU emulated, other than software FPU emulation support using drivers).
It can run many IBM PC XT games, and also various 286(*) up to Pentium II games. Support for ATAPI CD-ROM (using VIDE-CDD.SYS, OAKCDROM.SYS or compatible ATAPI drivers) also works. Many graphics cards and sound cards can be used (MIDI using a Soundfont renderer inside UniPCemu (recordable by UniPCemu's sound recording functionality) or passthrough(passthrough on Windows only, which is not recordable by the emulator's own recording functionality)), from PC speaker up to Sound Blaster 2.0 and from IBM Monochrome Display Adapter up to ET4000/W32 SVGA(up to 16M colors (in True Color mode) using it's SC15025 DAC)!
EMS is available using the Lo-tech 2MB EMS board on the XT and various EMM emulation software(e.g. JEMM386, EMM386) on IBM AT and up. For more information about UniPCemu [https://superfury.itch.io/unipcemu use this link].

|[https://github.com/dbalsom/martypc MartyPC]:
It's an open source emulator written in rust that aims to be cycle accurate for IBM PCs. Compared to other (also great) PC emulators like PCem/86box/DOSbox forks etc, MartyPC focuses on ultra accurate CGA and DMA emulation. It requires pixel perfect and cycle accurate CGA emulation as well as emulation of CRT properties like overscan.<ref>[https://int10h.org/blog/2023/07/martypc-pc-xt-emulator-raising-the-bar Raising the Bar for IBM PC/XT Emulation: MartyPC]</ref> Developer "[https://old.reddit.com/user/Glorious_Cow Glorious_Cow]" said;
Of course my next target is the 286, I think it would be interesting to try to make a cycle-accurate 286. The biggest challenge is the microcode for 286 hasn't been decoded yet, but there is a high resolution 286 die shot I'd love to get my hands on... My hope is that the 286 is a more 'regular' chip than the 8088. The 8088 turned out to have a lot of odd, poorly documented behavior. I guess we'll find out.
386 is sort of a long-term goal. I'll get there when I get there, but it might take another year for 286 I estimate before I tackle it. Now that I've accomplished Area 5150 I don't really have a "goal target" in mind other than running DOOM :) My 386 will not be slavishly cycle-accurate, after all, there were many variations of the 386 and clones, so which one would be accurate to? Besides the fact it's hard to write a cycle-accurate CPU at 40MHz...
At that point I think MartyPC will be done chasing the hardware, I have no interest in following the CPU generations up into the Pentiums - that's probably best left to 86box - and I think I will probably turn my eye just to seeing what kind of interesting debugging features I can add. Save states and rewinding, an inline assembler or scripting language would be cool.
With most end-users probably best served by using 86box, I figure my best niche going forward is being a 'retro-developer's' emulator of choice, so I am motivated to add any debug features people might request.<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/14sb24i/raising_the_bar_for_ibm_pcxt_emulation_martypc/jr10nya/ Glorious_Cow's comment about MartyPC emulator].</ref>

|[[MAME]]:
The emulation of various CPU types seen here regarding MAME are all over the place in the changelogs and seem confusing. However, MAME has preliminary support for the families of 286, 386/i386, 486/i486, and almost the entire range of Pentium CPUs. However, only the 286/386/486 emulation is acceptable at the moment. According to [http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/sysset.php ProjectMESS], many [http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/system.php?machine=ibm5170 IBM PC/AT 5170] family PCs running the 286 CPU have preliminary support. MAME [https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.146u3 0.146u3] (Jul 2012) added CPU types for Pentium MMX, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4, but don't expect miracles.

|[[Bochs]]:
A full x86 PC emulator with a focus on development and test operating systems and other low-level software. Its lack of proper timing emulation makes it not useful, and it is often too slow for newer systems to be playable. It is thus not recommended to use Bochs. [https://sourceforge.net/p/bochs/discussion/39592/thread/17049d4e/#6bdd Bochs is not timing but functional emulator, it's emulates time in very trivial way] - one guest instruction emulated equal to one guest cycle. By tuning "IPS" setting you not anything in the way it emulates time - in opposite, you only giving a hint about emulation speed to Bochs which helps it to emulate devices like mouse or keyboard.
|-
|[[QEMU]]
Similarly to Bochs, QEMU with [[Windows NT 5.x emulators#Hypervisors|TCG acceleration]] may not be the perfect x86 emulator, but its versatility, [[Hypervisors|hypervisor]] capabilities, and vast platform support make it a powerful tool for anyone interested in exploring the world of [[Hypervisors|virtualization]]. While QEMU is versatile and great for [[Hypervisors|virtualization]] with [[Windows NT 5.x emulators#Hypervisors|KVM acceleration]], but if your focus is precise, reasonable and compatible x86 emulation, it’s better to stick with dedicated emulators like 86Box, PCem or even DOSBox forks. That said, if raw performance is your top priority (especially for 3dfx graphics), QEMU 3dfx build with the SoftGPU drivers is currently the fastest option available. See the [[Windows NT 5.x emulators#Comparison|QEMU 3dfx note section]] for details and setup instructions.

But it is possible to implement specific techniques to [[POS (Pong Consoles) CPUs and Other Chips#x86 CPUs|these emulators]] for achieving and improving Windows NT-based operating system emulation experience. See DOSBox-X: [https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1089 KVM and Hyper-V] issue page, also [https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/5040 DOSBox-X: 3D Graphics cards feature request] page.

* 86Box supports [https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings/hdd.html#speed-profiles speed profiles] for hard disk (only IDE and ESDI) images. Speed emulation takes the rotation speed, physical layout and cache size of an average period-correct drive into account. The RAM Disk profile runs the drive as fast as the host can manage.

A template for shorthand platform listing. To reduce the amount of effort needed to add new images (and thus, platforms), the actual values are passed to [[Template:Icon/File|Icon/File]] that selects the icons. To add new images, edit the sub-templates, not this one. To scale up the number of platforms that can be listed, edit this article; currently up to 45 platforms can be listed though more can be added with relative ease.

Virtual GPU Adapter Compatibility List

2026-09-02T00:55:12Z

Yoelhgo2008: /* List */

{{WIP}}
{{Main|Windows NT 5.x emulators}}
{{Main|Windows NT 6.x emulators}}
{{for|page for Mac OS X PPC era|MacOS emulators}}

Recommended to use [[Windows_NT_5.x_emulators#Virtualization_Pack|this virtualization pack]], which includes the latest 3D acceleration-supported versions of VMware and VirtualBox for Windows XP guest, along with scripts for [[Frontends|LaunchBox]] integration, [[wrappers]], various patches and other convenient tools.
==Guidelines==
*It's recommended to use [[PC_emulator_comparisons|IBM-PC compatible/standard PC/ACPI PC emulators]] for [[DOS-based,_Windows_1.0x/2x/3x_series|MS-DOS, Windows 3.x]] or [[Windows_95/98/ME_emulators|Windows 9x]] operating systems ('''[[Wrappers|Glide, DirectX 3 to 7 or DirectDraw]]'''), see [[Windows 9X Compatibility List]] for that. This list focuses on 2K NT-based Windows operating systems such as [[Windows_NT_5.x_emulators|Windows XP]] and [[Windows_NT_6.x_emulators|Windows Vista]] ('''[[Wrappers|DirectX 8.1 to 10.1]]'''). Only guest operating systems that can be emulated or virtualized are included, covering everything would result in an endless list, please do not bloat the table with modern operating systems or GOG version of the games.
*Please refer to the '[[Hypervisors#Hypervisor_issues|hypervisor issues]]' section for guidance on addressing known persistent, unresolved, specific issues in hypervisor software (e.g., VirtualBox, VMware).
*Add the [[Hypervisors|virtualization]] software version in the relevant Virtual GPU Adapter column with {{t|Green}}, {{t|Yellow}} or {{t|Red}} templates if you test the game. Remember; Parallels 17 and VirtualBox 6.0.24 are the most recent versions that provide 3D acceleration for legacy 2K Windows operating systems running within a virtual machine, see [[Windows NT 5.x emulators#Hypervisors]] section for detailed information about this.
*Refer to the [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/ pcgamingwiki]'s #API sections on each dedicated game page for what API's used for the correct Video API and Sound APIs information before adding them to this table.
*Use the Notes column for:
**Mentioning the usage of [[Wrappers]] for compatibility reasons (e.g., VMware issues: 15.5.7 has "problem A" but WineD3D 1.1.14 fixes it)
**Mentioning the differences due to different version of virtualization software (e.g., VirtualBox issues: use 6.0.24 version of VirtualBox for perfect experience, 5.2.44 or older have problem A and problem B)
**Timing, [[Hypervisors#Virtualization_Detection_Mechanisms|protection mechanisms against VMs]], or other issues with the software.
**The [[Copy_protection|NoCD/NoDVD situation]].
**Using [[Preservation_projects#Private_game_servers|revived private servers]] and other tricks.

|VirtualBox issues: The game crashes immediately when selecting Singleplayer from the main menu. There is a high chance the game becomes playable if you use an older version of VirtualBox, such as 5.2.44. VMware issues: Severe texture flickering occurs, and there is no audio output at all during gameplay. There is a high chance the game becomes playable if you use an older version of VMware, such as 12.5.1.

| VMware issues: Use NoCD 1.1 (Deviance) executable if you encounter white screen issue during 3D rendering scenes. Some models exhibit rare texture corruption or flickering. 2D elements on loading screens may draw incorrectly. Career championship races load slowly or may hang indefinitely. If the game hangs: Terminate the game executable via Task Manager. Restart the game, which typically loads the career stage immediately (Note: "Test your car" stages load instantly without issues.)

See {{YouTubeVideoTime|lYKtheYXtSw|580|here}} and {{YouTubeVideo|jpW-3jgXvho}}. This is unrelated to FPS drops or overall system performance. After testing timing hooks and Wine registry tweaks, switching from Mesa to the AMDGPU-PRO driver significantly resolves the problem. See {{YouTubeVideo|3RiFDqGvUCE|here}}. With [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] 4.12.1, this problem has disappeared, the guest clock is always synced.

|I installed the DirectX package that came with the disc. VirtualBox issues: Use 6.0.24 version of VirtualBox for perfect visual experience, no need for any [[Wrappers|wrapper]]. If you are using version 5.2.44 of VirtualBox or older, during launch, a prompt may appear stating that; '2006 FIFA World Cup requires hardware graphics acceleration.' [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] version 1.7.5.2 resolves this, but in-game graphics could broken. Version 1.1.14 fixes all of the issues.[https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11651] VMware issues: Some UI elements in the menu causing slowdowns, in-game graphics are broken.

| VirtualBox issues: Occasionally exhibits minor wrong color artifacts on some shaders/textures, particularly during in-game intro cinematic sequences, some could consider playable. There are no major in-game graphical issues, performance is better compared to VMware. Using [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] 1.7.44 doesn't fix color artifact issue, decreases performance. VMware issues: Ensure you press the "Esc" key twice when in the intro video section before the game menu appears, as it may experience video decoding issues. In-game real-time rendering cinematic sections run smoothly but may have minor graphical glitches. While there are no major in-game graphical issues, performance is mediocre.

| v1.4.3.0
| VirtualBox issues: The default executable may trigger Windows Error Reporting (WER). To prevent this, use a NoDVD patch or update to patch 1.7.5.7. Set reduce_mouselag=0 in game.cfg to avoid severe stuttering. Enable mouse integration or use USB passthrough in VirtualBox to resolve virtual pointer tracking issues. Minor graphical problems, such as terrain rendering incorrectly beneath water surfaces, may occur due to z-buffer precision limitations in emulated 3D acceleration qemu-3dfx issues: It has the same minor terrain problem, regardless of the graphical options used. Tested with KJ Liew's [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] versions 2.0.5, 6.0.4 and 7.0.2. [https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3249 WineD3D has no fix for this problem at this time].

| VirtualBox issues: Textures flicker in-game. This can be easily fixed by decreasing the "Special Effects" setting in the graphics options. Using [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] version 1.7.46 resolves the flickering but introduces minor new visual glitches and significantly reduces performance. Otherwise, the game is playable. VMware issues: The game crashes immediately on launch. Neither [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] nor Patch 2.4 combined with a NoCD executable resolves this issue. However, the latest version of VMware appears to fix this problem. See {{YouTubeVideo|hXvIqALV97o|here}}.

|VirtualBox issues: There is a noticeable audio delay and some minor graphical issues with the default settings. In particular, the inner wheel arch (fender liner) is rendered incorrectly; instead of being shaded, it appears as a bright white area. Using [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] is not recommended, killing the performance completely. VMware issues: Performance is mediocre but acceptable. The only graphical issue is constant flickering of the map (UI element). Using [[Wrappers|WineD3D]] 1.3.10 resolves this flickering, but introduces a new issue where ground textures become corrupted.

VirtualBox issues: Game immediately crashes upon launch; unable to test it further. VMware issues: Game launches successfully without requiring any special configurations or workaround. Performance is mediocre but surprisingly, increasing the graphics options, particularly Shadows, seemed to marginally improve performance (not sure). Reflections, especially mirror reflections, appear to be broken or rendered incorrectly; should be turned off in the graphics/performance options to avoid visual glitches.

Compatibility layers

2025-09-10T22:09:26Z

Yoelhgo2008: /* Compatibility layers */

While not strictly emulation ''per se'' (hence why [[Wine]] stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"), '''compatibility layers''' allow software written for one operating system to run on a different OS, often by translating system calls made by an application to their equivalent calls in the host operating system. In theory, this should allow for near-native performance since no processor emulation takes place, but in practice some software such as games will tend to run a bit slower due to other bottlenecks that occur as a result of [[Emulation accuracy|replicating the correct behavior]]. Compatibility layers may also make use of [[wrappers]], which translate a specific API to another because accounting for graphics APIs like Direct3D that aren't supported on non-Microsoft platforms. Additionally, compatibility layers may also use emulation in order to run software built for a different [[wikipedia:Comparison_of_instruction_set_architectures#Instruction_sets|architecture]], see [[Emulation Accuracy]] page for more information about terms like "[[Hypervisors|hypervisors]]", "[[Simulators|simulators]]", "[[Compatibility_layers|compatibility layers]]", "[[Wrappers|wrappers]]", "[[FPGA]]" and "[[:Category:Emulators|software emulators]]".

*[[Wine]] is a free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow computer programs (application software and computer games) developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems, primarily Linux and macOS. Since late 2017 there is also an experimental build for Android. Wine is almost as old as the Linux project, starting in the summer of 1993. Today it's widely used, very popular and sponsored by companies such as CodeWeavers and Valve, and has even received some support from Microsoft themselves who donated the Mono implementation of the .NET Framework to the Wine project. The core Wine development aims at a correct implementation of the Windows API as a whole. In this regard it's similar to the [[MAME]] project in its focus on correctness over usability. There are a lot of versions/forks of Wine which focus of different goals, such as usability, compatibility, gaming, office applications, etc. A few are listed below, Wikipedia has [[wikipedia:Wine_(software)#Other_versions_of_Wine|a more complete list]].
**[[Proton]]: is Valve's one-click solution to play Windows games on Linux. It's included in the Steam Linux client by default. Simply click on a whitelisted game and it will launch without any configuration, or enable it for all games in the settings. Proton is based on a fork of Wine in combination with other components such as [[Wrappers|DXVK]] (which is a wrapper explained below) and FAudio.
**[https://www.codeweavers.com/products/ CrossOver] is a commercialized, supported version of Wine from CodeWeavers. It uses additional patches on top of Wine to make it easy to use. They contribute all of their work on CrossOvers back to Wine and make up about two thirds of the commits made to Wine. CrossOver is available on macOS, Linux and Chrome OS.
**[[Wineskin]] is an open-source compatibility layer which allows users to easily convert Windows software to macOS. The ports are in the form of Mac .app bundles with a self-contained Wine instance which are wrapped around the application to be converted.
**[[Winlator]] is an Android application that lets you to run Windows (x86_64) applications with Wine and Box86/Box64.

* [[TeknoParrot]] is a compatibility layer for Windows PCs to run games originally made for Windows-based arcade systems. Has since version 1.51 also support for some games running on Linux.
* '''Rosetta''' was a compatibility layer for running PowerPC apps on x86-based Macs on OS X versions prior to 1.07. '''Rosetta 2''' is a comptibility layer on Apple silicon Macs allowing x86-64 apps to run on ARM-based Macs. Note that Rosetta 2 is not strictly limited to MacOS apps as software such as Crossover is able to call it to emulate x86 code in Windows binaries.
* '''Prism''' is the built-in compatibility layer in Windows on ARM to run traditional x86 (also x64 in Windows 11) Windows programs.
* [[Box86/Box64]] lets you run x86 Linux programs (such as games) on non-x86 Linux systems, like ARM (the host system needs to be 32bit little-endian).
* [[Darling]] is a translation layer that allows you to run unmodified macOS binaries on Linux. In its nature, it is similar to the well-known [[Wine]] project. At this point, does not yet run macOS application with a GUI.
* [https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/ Minecraft Bedrock Launcher] is a compatibility layer made specifically to run the Android version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Linux and macOS. It is not compatible with any other Android apps.
* Windows Subsystem for Linux 1 is a compatibility layer and shouldn't be confused with WSL2. WSL2 introduced important changes such as a real Linux kernel, through a subset of '''Hyper-V features''', so it's not a compatibility layer like WSL1.
* Berberis, libhoudini, libndk and nb-qemu are Android [https://android.googlesource.com/platform/art/+/refs/heads/main/libnativebridge/README.md Native Bridges] used to run apps made for other architectures. libhoudini was made by Intel and Google with its most notable use being on WSA for Windows 11, libndk was made by Google to expand Android compatibility on Chromebooks, there's no official source to download them other than online reuploads or extracting them from those systems yourself.
* KMRE is a compatibility layer and it's the official solution to run Android applications on computers with Chinese homegrown Phytium/KunPeng ARM processors and NeoKylin Linux operating system, though later also available on x86-64 on [https://www.ubuntukylin.com/index-en.html Ubuntu Kylin]. KMRE is not designed with third-party applications outside its app store and in fact, force installing third-party apps breaks older versions of KMRE. It's the go-to solution if you are restricted to working with these kinds of computers due to national security reasons. See [[Android_emulators#KMRE|KMRE section]] for more information.
* Vita2hos is an early compatibility layer for Nintendo Switch that runs PlayStation Vita applications natively. Only able to load simple test homebrews such as vita-8 as of December 2022. Appears to only be developed every once in a while.

==Shims==
Shim is a library that transparently intercepts API calls and changes the arguments passed, handles the operation itself or redirects the operation elsewhere. Shims can be used to support an old API in a newer environment, or a new API in an older environment. Shims can also be used for running programs on different software platforms than they were developed for. [[Windows_2000/XP/Vista_emulators#Recommended_solutions|the EmulateHeap compatibility shim broke on Windows 11 22H2, and Win32 API changes in 24H2 have messed up games that rely on quirky behavior]].

Compatibility layers

2025-09-10T22:09:00Z

Yoelhgo2008: /* Compatibility layers */

While not strictly emulation ''per se'' (hence why [[Wine]] stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"), '''compatibility layers''' allow software written for one operating system to run on a different OS, often by translating system calls made by an application to their equivalent calls in the host operating system. In theory, this should allow for near-native performance since no processor emulation takes place, but in practice some software such as games will tend to run a bit slower due to other bottlenecks that occur as a result of [[Emulation accuracy|replicating the correct behavior]]. Compatibility layers may also make use of [[wrappers]], which translate a specific API to another because accounting for graphics APIs like Direct3D that aren't supported on non-Microsoft platforms. Additionally, compatibility layers may also use emulation in order to run software built for a different [[wikipedia:Comparison_of_instruction_set_architectures#Instruction_sets|architecture]], see [[Emulation Accuracy]] page for more information about terms like "[[Hypervisors|hypervisors]]", "[[Simulators|simulators]]", "[[Compatibility_layers|compatibility layers]]", "[[Wrappers|wrappers]]", "[[FPGA]]" and "[[:Category:Emulators|software emulators]]".

*[[Wine]] is a free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow computer programs (application software and computer games) developed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems, primarily Linux and macOS. Since late 2017 there is also an experimental build for Android. Wine is almost as old as the Linux project, starting in the summer of 1993. Today it's widely used, very popular and sponsored by companies such as CodeWeavers and Valve, and has even received some support from Microsoft themselves who donated the Mono implementation of the .NET Framework to the Wine project. The core Wine development aims at a correct implementation of the Windows API as a whole. In this regard it's similar to the [[MAME]] project in its focus on correctness over usability. There are a lot of versions/forks of Wine which focus of different goals, such as usability, compatibility, gaming, office applications, etc. A few are listed below, Wikipedia has [[wikipedia:Wine_(software)#Other_versions_of_Wine|a more complete list]].
**[[Proton]]: is Valve's one-click solution to play Windows games on Linux. It's included in the Steam Linux client by default. Simply click on a whitelisted game and it will launch without any configuration, or enable it for all games in the settings. Proton is based on a fork of Wine in combination with other components such as [[Wrappers|DXVK]] (which is a wrapper explained below) and FAudio.
**[https://www.codeweavers.com/products/ CrossOver] is a commercialized, supported version of Wine from CodeWeavers. It uses additional patches on top of Wine to make it easy to use. They contribute all of their work on CrossOvers back to Wine and make up about two thirds of the commits made to Wine. CrossOver is available on macOS, Linux and Chrome OS.
**[[Wineskin]] is an open-source compatibility layer which allows users to easily convert Windows software to macOS. The ports are in the form of Mac .app bundles with a self-contained Wine instance which are wrapped around the application to be converted.
**[[Winlator]] is an Android application that lets you to run Windows (x86_64) applications with Wine and Box86/Box64.

* [[TeknoParrot]] is a compatibility layer for Windows PCs to run games originally made for Windows-based arcade systems. Has since version 1.51 also support for some games running on Linux.
* '''Rosetta''' was a compatibility layer for running PowerPC apps on x86-based Macs on OS X versions prior to 1.07. '''Rosetta 2''' is a comptibility layer on Apple silicon Macs allowing x86-64 apps to run on ARM-based Macs. Note that Rosetta 2 is not strictly limited to MacOS apps as software such as Crossover is able to call it to emulate x86 code in Windows binaries.
* '''Prism''' is the built-in compatibility layer in Windows on ARM to run traditional x86 (also x64 in Windows 11) Windows programs.
* [[Box86/Box64]] lets you run x86 Linux programs (such as games) on non-x86 Linux systems, like ARM (the host system needs to be 32bit little-endian).
* [[Darling]] is a translation layer that allows you to run unmodified macOS binaries on Linux. In its nature, it is similar to the well-known [[Wine]] project. At this point, does not yet run macOS application with a GUI.
* [https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/ Minecraft Bedrock Launcher] is a compatibility layer made specifically to run the Android version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Linux and macOS. It is not compatible with any other Android apps.
* Windows Subsystem for Linux 1 is a compatibility layer and shouldn't be confused with WSL2. WSL2 introduced important changes such as a real Linux kernel, through a subset of '''Hyper-V features''', so it's not a compatibility layer like WSL1.
* Berberis, libhoudini, libndk and nb-qemu are Android [https://android.googlesource.com/platform/art/+/refs/heads/main/libnativebridge/README.md Native Bridges] used to run apps made for other architectures. libhoudini was made by Intel and Google with its most notable use being on WSA for Windows 11, libndk was made by Google to expand Android compatibility on Chromebooks, there's no official source to download them other than online reuploads or extracting them from those systems yourself.
* KMRE is a compatibility layer and it's the official solution to run Android applications on computers with Chinese homegrown Phytium/KunPeng ARM processors and NeoKylin Linux operating system, though later also available on x86-64 on [https://www.ubuntukylin.com/index-en.html Ubuntu Kylin]. KMRE is not designed with third-party applications outside its app store and in fact, force installing third-party apps breaks older versions of KMRE. It's the go-to solution if you are restricted to working with these kinds of computers due to national security reasons. See [[Android_emulators#KMRE|KMRE section]] for more information.
* Vita2hos is an early compatibility layer for Nintendo Switch that runs PlayStation Vita applications natively. Only able to load simple test homebrews such as vita-8 as of December 2022. Appears to only be developed every once in a while.

==Shims==
Shim is a library that transparently intercepts API calls and changes the arguments passed, handles the operation itself or redirects the operation elsewhere. Shims can be used to support an old API in a newer environment, or a new API in an older environment. Shims can also be used for running programs on different software platforms than they were developed for. [[Windows_2000/XP/Vista_emulators#Recommended_solutions|the EmulateHeap compatibility shim broke on Windows 11 22H2, and Win32 API changes in 24H2 have messed up games that rely on quirky behavior]].

Game engine recreations and source ports

2025-09-09T05:34:31Z

Yoelhgo2008: /* Sandbox */

{{for|List of Demakes|List of notable ports#Demakes}}

'''Game engine recreations''' and '''source ports''' can be better than emulation on a game-by-game basis, adding improvements to the original, better performance and ports to less powerful systems were emulation is impractical/slow. This is especially true when a developer only wants to get one game (or a number of games that use the same engine) working. In that case, re-implementing that game alone would save more time than implementing the platform it runs on. These kinds of projects are common when abandonware has large communities; when the original developer has disbanded and can no longer support or update it, an effort is then made to get it running natively on newer versions of-- and/or entirely different-- operating systems and platforms. Examples are OpenMW for Morrowind.

* '''[[wikipedia:Game engine recreation|game engine recreations]]''' (AKA '''game engine re-implementations'''), when the developer only has a binary to work with (and not the [[source code]]), they recreate the engine rather than port it, hence the term. How the developers go about this process depends on their philosophy; they may opt to de-compile the original executable and have their own program rely on the original until all of its functions have been remade, at which point the original binary is no longer needed. Alternatively, they can be remade based on a clean room design, in which the project implements the abstract features without having to disassemble the original, going by how components are expected to be used rather than how the game uses them. Some engines come about simply because they were inspired by the original game, and the programmer felt confident enough that no reverse engineering was necessary to make an engine that does the same thing.

* '''source ports''', in rare cases, games release the source code by the publishers themselves, allowing developers to perform a port of the source code. This skips the step of figuring out how the game works. The most common example that is often used is id Software's release of Doom in 1997. It led to [[wikipedia:List of Doom source ports|so many ports being released]] that the community began to joke about what devices haven't gotten it running yet (see [https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Source_port#List_of_source_ports_for_Doom_engine_games the Doom Wiki] for a list). Examples are GZDoom, vkQuake, Kex Engine.

* '''disassemblies''' - a type of reverse engineering that turns machine code language into Assembly code language. It's more common on pre-fifth generation consoles. A disassembler is needed.

* '''decompilations''' - another type of reverse engineering that turns machine code language from an existing program (in this case, a game) into human-readable code language (like C). However, it's tricky, due to the fact that you don't get the same code extracted, and every line needs to be painstakingly translated via guesstimates and trials-by-fire. This type takes a long time to get it done 100%, just to match code with non-matched code (or linking code with data). A decompiler is needed.

* '''(static) recompilations''' - even another type of reverse engineering where the existing machine code language gets instantly translated into a targeted platform/architecture code language. While it might sound like an "end-all be-all" method to make old games run on platforms without having to rely that much on emulation, it's still considered just as hard as decompilations, because in order to make the game fully run on the platform, every instruction needs to be identified, applied and executed to do so. Supposedly, this method is considered less time consuming than decompilations, however, if said completed decompilation exist, it also helps out quite a lot in the progress of a recompilation. A recompiler is needed.

* '''collections''' - these collect different engine types, an example being ScummVM that contains many recreations and source ports.

Some projects are implemented in ways that the original developer did not intend; for example, for a platform other than which publishers marketed it for. And they're not just limited to game engines either; [https://webamp.org/ Webamp] is a JavaScript application that re-implements Winamp in the web browser. These projects are almost always open-source, which also allows new programmers to fix bugs that could have been difficult to track down during development (alternatively, the bugs may be emulated to allow old mods to continue to safely exploit them). When most of the effort is on programming, the project will usually require the original game's assets (such as files in the installation directory or ROMs) until those ever get remade. This lets the developers claim they aren't infringing the game's copyrights since the player must obtain the original to use it; if the game is still being sold, this could allow the publisher to even earn revenue from the project. This aspect is debatable however, as some source code recreations did result in cease-and-desist letters and even [[Legal_Status_of_Emulation#Rockstar|lawsuits from companies such as in the case of re3 and reVC for the 3D-era ''Grand Theft Auto'' games]], with Take-Two Interactive alleging that the source ports were made to facilitate piracy and that "the work is not licensed in any way"; some have speculated that the suit among others was to keep fan-made mods from getting in the way of their much-maligned ''Definitive Edition'' remasters.

For the sake of brevity, most of these projects often refer to themselves under some variety of '''fan remakes'''. The [[#External links|External links]] section has lists for a number of known and available projects.

On Linux downloading and using game engines is easy with [https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda Luxtorpeda] - a Steam Play compatibility tool (like [[Proton]]) that allows you to run games from Steam using various different game engines and re-implementations. Alternatively some package managers/app stores, such as [https://flathub.org/ flatpak] and [https://snapcraft.io/ snap] include source ports.

For macOS, [https://macsourceports.com Mac Source Ports] provides many of the games below but built for Apple Silicon (or as a Universal Binary where possible), with the apps signed and notarised. For the majority of the games, you will have to provide your own game data. The data for most of the games can be purchased on GOG or Steam (The game data from Windows versions usually work ok).

For a work-in-progress list of source ports that work on macOS see the [[Source_Ports_on_macOS|Source Ports on macOS]] page.

|Super Mario Bros. X<ref group="N">The Super Mario Bros. X fan game project was written in VB6 originally and being a closed source for a long time. It was founded in 2009 and supported up to 2011, later abandoned by its author. For a long time, various people hacked it and attempted to reverse-engine and make clones. After 11 years, the source code was finally open. Later, by an independent developer, it was ported from VB6 into C++ with the SDL2 library and released as "TheXTech". The TheXTech, unlike the original game engine, is cross-platform and lightweight. It's able to work on a variety of operating systems and processor architectures.</ref>

Worth mentioning utilities for those who want to create their own port or recreation. Useless for those who just want to play, as they still require a lot of extra work to run games. If the latter fact is suddenly no longer true, such a project will be moved to a more appropriate part of the list.

Game engine recreations and source ports

2025-09-09T05:15:27Z

Yoelhgo2008: /* Point & Click Adventure */

{{for|List of Demakes|List of notable ports#Demakes}}

'''Game engine recreations''' and '''source ports''' can be better than emulation on a game-by-game basis, adding improvements to the original, better performance and ports to less powerful systems were emulation is impractical/slow. This is especially true when a developer only wants to get one game (or a number of games that use the same engine) working. In that case, re-implementing that game alone would save more time than implementing the platform it runs on. These kinds of projects are common when abandonware has large communities; when the original developer has disbanded and can no longer support or update it, an effort is then made to get it running natively on newer versions of-- and/or entirely different-- operating systems and platforms. Examples are OpenMW for Morrowind.

* '''[[wikipedia:Game engine recreation|game engine recreations]]''' (AKA '''game engine re-implementations'''), when the developer only has a binary to work with (and not the [[source code]]), they recreate the engine rather than port it, hence the term. How the developers go about this process depends on their philosophy; they may opt to de-compile the original executable and have their own program rely on the original until all of its functions have been remade, at which point the original binary is no longer needed. Alternatively, they can be remade based on a clean room design, in which the project implements the abstract features without having to disassemble the original, going by how components are expected to be used rather than how the game uses them. Some engines come about simply because they were inspired by the original game, and the programmer felt confident enough that no reverse engineering was necessary to make an engine that does the same thing.

* '''source ports''', in rare cases, games release the source code by the publishers themselves, allowing developers to perform a port of the source code. This skips the step of figuring out how the game works. The most common example that is often used is id Software's release of Doom in 1997. It led to [[wikipedia:List of Doom source ports|so many ports being released]] that the community began to joke about what devices haven't gotten it running yet (see [https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Source_port#List_of_source_ports_for_Doom_engine_games the Doom Wiki] for a list). Examples are GZDoom, vkQuake, Kex Engine.

* '''disassemblies''' - a type of reverse engineering that turns machine code language into Assembly code language. It's more common on pre-fifth generation consoles. A disassembler is needed.

* '''decompilations''' - another type of reverse engineering that turns machine code language from an existing program (in this case, a game) into human-readable code language (like C). However, it's tricky, due to the fact that you don't get the same code extracted, and every line needs to be painstakingly translated via guesstimates and trials-by-fire. This type takes a long time to get it done 100%, just to match code with non-matched code (or linking code with data). A decompiler is needed.

* '''(static) recompilations''' - even another type of reverse engineering where the existing machine code language gets instantly translated into a targeted platform/architecture code language. While it might sound like an "end-all be-all" method to make old games run on platforms without having to rely that much on emulation, it's still considered just as hard as decompilations, because in order to make the game fully run on the platform, every instruction needs to be identified, applied and executed to do so. Supposedly, this method is considered less time consuming than decompilations, however, if said completed decompilation exist, it also helps out quite a lot in the progress of a recompilation. A recompiler is needed.

* '''collections''' - these collect different engine types, an example being ScummVM that contains many recreations and source ports.

Some projects are implemented in ways that the original developer did not intend; for example, for a platform other than which publishers marketed it for. And they're not just limited to game engines either; [https://webamp.org/ Webamp] is a JavaScript application that re-implements Winamp in the web browser. These projects are almost always open-source, which also allows new programmers to fix bugs that could have been difficult to track down during development (alternatively, the bugs may be emulated to allow old mods to continue to safely exploit them). When most of the effort is on programming, the project will usually require the original game's assets (such as files in the installation directory or ROMs) until those ever get remade. This lets the developers claim they aren't infringing the game's copyrights since the player must obtain the original to use it; if the game is still being sold, this could allow the publisher to even earn revenue from the project. This aspect is debatable however, as some source code recreations did result in cease-and-desist letters and even [[Legal_Status_of_Emulation#Rockstar|lawsuits from companies such as in the case of re3 and reVC for the 3D-era ''Grand Theft Auto'' games]], with Take-Two Interactive alleging that the source ports were made to facilitate piracy and that "the work is not licensed in any way"; some have speculated that the suit among others was to keep fan-made mods from getting in the way of their much-maligned ''Definitive Edition'' remasters.

For the sake of brevity, most of these projects often refer to themselves under some variety of '''fan remakes'''. The [[#External links|External links]] section has lists for a number of known and available projects.

On Linux downloading and using game engines is easy with [https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda Luxtorpeda] - a Steam Play compatibility tool (like [[Proton]]) that allows you to run games from Steam using various different game engines and re-implementations. Alternatively some package managers/app stores, such as [https://flathub.org/ flatpak] and [https://snapcraft.io/ snap] include source ports.

For macOS, [https://macsourceports.com Mac Source Ports] provides many of the games below but built for Apple Silicon (or as a Universal Binary where possible), with the apps signed and notarised. For the majority of the games, you will have to provide your own game data. The data for most of the games can be purchased on GOG or Steam (The game data from Windows versions usually work ok).

For a work-in-progress list of source ports that work on macOS see the [[Source_Ports_on_macOS|Source Ports on macOS]] page.

Those ports were only in a state of demonstration and were not fully playable, having incomplete A.I., gameplay, and missing screens. Download links to the latest version of these 3DS ports and the PS Vita port can be found on the [https://discord.gg/w7WcSGt old Discord server].</ref>

|Super Mario Bros. X<ref group="N">The Super Mario Bros. X fan game project was written in VB6 originally and being a closed source for a long time. It was founded in 2009 and supported up to 2011, later abandoned by its author. For a long time, various people hacked it and attempted to reverse-engine and make clones. After 11 years, the source code was finally open. Later, by an independent developer, it was ported from VB6 into C++ with the SDL2 library and released as "TheXTech". The TheXTech, unlike the original game engine, is cross-platform and lightweight. It's able to work on a variety of operating systems and processor architectures.</ref>

The '''Amiga''' is a series of computers released by [[wikipedia:Commodore_International|Commodore]] starting in 1985. It was a very powerful and capable machine for its time, featuring a [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#68k_CPUs|Motorola 68000]] and custom chips dedicated to IO, sound, graphics and more. This family of computers became quite popular, especially in Europe, spawning a huge library of games over time. Due to its superior graphics capabilities compared to its contemporaries, it was widely used in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to video editing systems such as the Video Toaster. It was even used by skate companies to edit their videos.

The later Amigas failed to advance vastly on the old models, and the family lost its gain to newer video game consoles and other PC architectures. Eventually, Commodore went bankrupt, and production of Amiga hardware and games has been on the decline since. Despite this, there are still a handful of loyal Amiga users today. Software continues to be developed for the classic machines, as well as a newer line of [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]]-based Amigas released in the 2000s and beyond.

The Amiga was a tremendously complex machine, with multiple revisions to its hardware and system software. This can make emulation quite tricky, as figuring out the requirements for any specific game can be fairly difficult.

A commercial package exists, "Amiga Forever", from Cloanto, which elides past many of the complexities of Amiga emulation. It includes fully licensed ROMs, system disks, and (for applicable machines) hard drive OS images for every model that Commodore shipped. The package itself is effectively a very sophisticated frontend for WinUAE and WinFellow but comes with pre-configured setups for many games. If you have sufficient expertise, you can manually do everything it's doing, but it's pretty convenient even for experts. It's also the easiest way to get legal copies of the original system ROMs.

===Comparisons===
;[[WinUAE]]
:The most accurate and fully-featured Amiga emulator, but it is Windows-only and complicated to set up. Able to be configured into almost any Amiga configuration imaginable, including the PowerPC acceleration boards via [[QEMU]] and the PC Sidecar via [[PCem]].

;[[FS-UAE]]
:Incorporates the latest and most accurate emulation code from WinUAE and supports most of its features, but is cross-platform and with a much simpler user interface oriented towards common gaming configurations. It has built-in support for direct loading of the WHDLoad format, which greatly simplifies playing games.

;PUAE
:A continuation of E-UAE that is the port of UAE to Unix-like operating systems. It was made into a libretro core and is the primary version of UAE for this purpose.

;WinFellow
:Another emulator with a long history, being initiated shortly after the original UAE. It is Windows-only, as the Linux version XFellow has not been updated since 2003. It primarily focuses on the earliest Amiga models, specifically aiming to run most demoscene from these machines on the modest computers of the time. While it is still usable for this purpose, it is less accurate than UAE and is only recommended if you need the performance boost.

;Denise
:Primarily a C64 emulator, but later versions added support for early Amiga models. It only supports the Amiga 500/1000 but does claim cycle accuracy and has a simple user interface that "just works" for playing games.

==Emulation of PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4==
PowerPC-based Amiga computers were made by a few different enterprises under the license of Commodore International after its demise. They come with a new version of AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4.x, which only runs on PowerPC-based Amiga hardware or Motorola 68K-based Amiga computers with extra PowerPC acceleration boards.

[[QEMU]] supports emulation of [https://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=5 Sam460ex] motherboard manufactured by ACube Systems, which is officially supported by AmigaOS 4.1, but usability is yet to be determined.

[[FS-UAE]] and [[WinUAE]] can emulate the PowerPC acceleration board, so it could also run AmigaOS 4.x if a compatible PowerPC acceleration board such as [http://8bitplus.co.uk/articles/amiga-blizzard-ppc/ Blizzard PPC] has been properly configured. Extra ROM files are required to emulate these acceleration boards.

==68K Amiga emulation on PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4==
AmigaOS 4.x comes with 2 68K Amiga emulators: BlackBox and Petunia, and they will automatically start when trying to run old 68K-based Amiga programs.

BlackBox is an interpretive emulator. Thus the emulation speed is mediocre but provides lower input latency and better compatibility; Petunia uses dynamic recompilation to speed up emulation but consumes more memory and with less compatibility.

Petunia could be disabled entirely on boot to save memory or only for certain programs that are not compatible with it. Check [https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:How_AmigaOS_Works#Motorola_680x0_Emulators AmigaOS 4 Documentation] for more information.

AmigaOS 4.x never make use of real 68K hardware, even when running on an actual 68K-based Commodore Amiga with the PowerPC acceleration board.

On emulated PowerPC-based Amiga, both emulators run quite slow as it's running an emulator inside an emulator, causing great performance loss.

===Comparisons===
;[[WinUAE]]
:The most accurate and fully-featured Amiga emulator, but it is Windows-only and complicated to set up. Able to be configured into almost any Amiga configuration imaginable, including the PowerPC acceleration boards via [[QEMU]] and the PC Sidecar via [[PCem]].

;[[FS-UAE]]
:Incorporates the latest and most accurate emulation code from WinUAE and supports most of its features, but is cross-platform and with a much simpler user interface oriented towards common gaming configurations. It has built-in support for direct loading of the WHDLoad format, which greatly simplifies playing games.

;PUAE
:A continuation of E-UAE that is the port of UAE to Unix-like operating systems. It was made into a libretro core and is the primary version of UAE for this purpose.

;WinFellow
:Another emulator with a long history, being initiated shortly after the original UAE. It is Windows-only, as the Linux version XFellow has not been updated since 2003. It primarily focuses on the earliest Amiga models, specifically aiming to run most demoscene from these machines on the modest computers of the time. While it is still usable for this purpose, it is less accurate than UAE and is only recommended if you need the performance boost.

;Denise
:Primarily a C64 emulator, but later versions added support for early Amiga models. It only supports the Amiga 500/1000 but does claim cycle accuracy and has a simple user interface that "just works" for playing games.

=====CD32 emulation=====
Worthwhile emulators to try for emulating Amiga CD32: 
* [[WinUAE]]
* [[FS-UAE]]
* Akiko
* Amiga Forever (CD collection)

==Emulation of PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4==
PowerPC-based Amiga computers were made by a few different enterprises under the license of Commodore International after its demise. They come with a new version of AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4.x, which only runs on PowerPC-based Amiga hardware or Motorola 68K-based Amiga computers with extra PowerPC acceleration boards.

[[QEMU]] supports emulation of [https://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=5 Sam460ex] motherboard manufactured by ACube Systems, which is officially supported by AmigaOS 4.1, but usability is yet to be determined.

[[FS-UAE]] and [[WinUAE]] can emulate the PowerPC acceleration board, so it could also run AmigaOS 4.x if a compatible PowerPC acceleration board such as [http://8bitplus.co.uk/articles/amiga-blizzard-ppc/ Blizzard PPC] has been properly configured. Extra ROM files are required to emulate these acceleration boards.

==68K Amiga emulation on PowerPC Amiga and AmigaOS 4==
AmigaOS 4.x comes with 2 68K Amiga emulators: BlackBox and Petunia, and they will automatically start when trying to run old 68K-based Amiga programs.

BlackBox is an interpretive emulator. Thus the emulation speed is mediocre but provides lower input latency and better compatibility; Petunia uses dynamic recompilation to speed up emulation but consumes more memory and with less compatibility.

Petunia could be disabled entirely on boot to save memory or only for certain programs that are not compatible with it. Check [https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:How_AmigaOS_Works#Motorola_680x0_Emulators AmigaOS 4 Documentation] for more information.

AmigaOS 4.x never make use of real 68K hardware, even when running on an actual 68K-based Commodore Amiga with the PowerPC acceleration board.

On emulated PowerPC-based Amiga, both emulators run quite slow as it's running an emulator inside an emulator, causing great performance loss.

Virtual Console

'''Virtual Console''' (Not to be confused with the emulator used for the service's successor, [[Nintendo Switch Online]], and the NES/SNES classic microconsoles, Canoe) was a service created by Nintendo that allows users to purchase and emulate games.

==Overview==
Games played through Virtual Console are usually free of accuracy issues.

In terms of functionality, the Virtual Console emulator is very bare-bones compared to unofficial emulators, but the 3DS version has restore points (save states) and screenshot saving. The Wii U version has both plus controller customization (Game Gear and PC Engine on 3DS also support it), Off-TV Play, Pixel smoothing, and scaling changes. Despite this, usually, only the bare functionality is emulated: there is no way to save ghost data in ''Mario Kart 64'' due to a lack of a Memory Pak emulated.

The different regions of Virtual Console (Japan, North America, Europe/Australia, and South Korea) have different games and update them on different schedules. At times, North America gets games that were exclusive to Japan while Europe/Australia gets games that were exclusive to the previous two regions. These imported games were priced a little higher than normal and tend to be straight ports with no translation (exceptions include ''Monster World IV'' and ''Sin & Punishment''.). Other games that could be priced higher than normal are games based on externally-licensed properties, one example being the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' and ''Hokuto no Ken'' games.

Virtual Console games can be retired from the shop, though purchased games can be redownloaded.

Some Game Boy Advance games from the 3DS Virtual Console were available to Ambassadors only, that is, buyers of the Nintendo 3DS before Nintendo announced a price drop.

The pricing of Virtual Console games was ludicrous. If you didn't want to pay for VC ROMs on your Wii, you can just install them as .wad files through WAD Manager. You can even install .wads from other regions, though you need to watch the PAL/NTSC divide.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> A "New" 3DS is necessary if you want to play SNES games through the 3DS Virtual Console. Technically, some have managed to get it to boot in normal 3DS mode, but its emulation suffers from huge slowdowns.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> Ten GBA games were released exclusively to 3DS "ambassadors", who bought the system before its price was dropped. They are unavailable to those who did not purchase the system before its price drop.

<nowiki>***</nowiki> 3DS is fully backward compatible with DS and DSi games and cartridges

<nowiki>****</nowiki> Wii U is fully backward compatible with Wii and WiiWare Games

==Game Injection==
VC releases consist of the emulator and the included ROM image, but it's possible to replace that ROM image with another one and load it using various homebrew tools out there. Of course, compatibility isn't that high, especially for games with custom hardware, but it's a start.

===Wii===
* FriishProduce: Allows injections of every official system featured, but Commodore 64. It also supports the injection of Flash games.
* ShowMiiWads

===Wii U===
* UWUVCI AIO: Allows injections of every official system featured, but Famicom Disk System. It also supports the injection of Wii discs, WiiWare (as long as installed on the vWii NAND), Wii homebrew, and GameCube discs ([[Nintendont]] setup required).
* DS VC: The roms are stored in regular DS ROM format (.nds), in a zip archive. There's also a config file with a brightness setting, and an option to change internal 3D resolution that Nintendo didn't use for some reason. Just change the line '''"RenderScale": 1''' to have the value 2 instead.

===3DS===
* [https://gbatemp.net/threads/discussion-new-super-ultimate-injector-nsui.500376/ New Super Ultimate Injector] (there are also other alternative tools, but this can do injections for multiple systems)

==Compatibility List==
{{Main|Virtual Console/Compatibility List|Compatibility List (Virtual Console)}}

==Input Key==
Virtual Console games come from many different systems and have to be mapped to those on the supported console, sometimes having to be mapped to different controllers. Even then, at times (notably emulated Nintendo 64 games), mappings may not be consistent.

Wii games in the Virtual Console support the Classic Controllers (which were made with the purpose of the Virtual Console) and GameCube controllers. Some games also support the lone Wii Remote. PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 games that support 5-player mode require that the users connect a combination of GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes (with or without Classic Controllers attached to the Wii Remotes).
