<div>[[File:Sinclair_spectrum.jpg|thumb|The Sinclair ZX Spectrum]]The '''[[wikipedia:ZX Spectrum|ZX Spectrum]]''' (Pronounced ZED-ex) is an 8-bit home computing platform developed by Sinclair in 1982. It was one of the three major home computer platforms that dominated the market in the United Kingdom during the 1980's, along side the '''[[Commodore 64 emulators|Commodore 64]]''' and the '''[[Amstrad CPC|Amstrad Colour Personal Computer]]'''. The "Spectrum" is in reference to its color display, an innovation from the previous model, the '''[[wikipedia:ZX81|ZX81]]'''. The Spectrum was released as eight different models, ranging from the entry level model with 16 KiB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KiB RAM and built in floppy disk drive in 1987; together they sold in excess of 5 million units worldwide, not accounting for the numerous clones. The device was highly significant in British culture, so much so that its creator, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Sinclair Clive Sinclair], was knighted for services to the British industry, in 1983. Spectrum game development continues to this day, with over 100 new releases since 2012.<br />

===Dolphin===<br />
You might have read about an unofficial branch of [[Dolphin]] with Wii U support - don't get your hopes up. While the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC PowerPC] architecture family in the WiiU is the same as the Wii and GC (this fact alone was the reason why Wii emulation was added to Dolphin, originally GC-only), this support is nothing more than the file viewer features (region, internal name, various info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a way to extract them) being expanded to Wii U disc images. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front as far as Dolphin is concerned, and the Dolphin developers have said that they're not going to add Wii U support to Dolphin.<br />

==Versions==<br />
There have been several versions of Yabause released, including a [https://github.com/libretro/yabause currently work-in-progress] core for [[RetroArch]]. There is also a Wii version, linked above; note that this is an unofficial release and support from the Yabause developers cannot be provided for it.<br />
==Review==<br />
Yabause has a very decent rate of compatibility, around 70% of the games run well or perfectly.<br />
<br />
Yabause has many advantages over [[SSF|SSF.]] If you use the OpenGL video driver, games can be rendered in higher resolutions, unlike SSF which can only render in the game's native resolution. It is multi-platform and open-source, unlike SSF, which is closed-source and Windows-exclusive. SSF only lets you run games via mounted/burned disks, while Yabause lets you open ISO files as well as run burnt/mounted disks. The UI, despite not being perfect, is also better than SSF. What matters is compatibility, and SSF is far ahead in that regard. Yabause is recommended for its features for the games it is compatible with. Use SSF for everything else.<br />

'''RPCS3''' is a PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PS Vita emulator that is in very early development. Currently usable only for light homebrew and a ''very'' small number of commercial games, with heavy glitches. It aims to one day eventually emulate the PS3 fully. Recent efforts have allowed it to also begin emulating the PS Vita in a basic manner; do note that no games are currently playable however.<br />
<br />
==Download==<br />
[http://www.emunewz.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=199 GIT Builds]<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
Development of RPCS3 is early, but promising. As of 22 Mar 2014, it can play the intros to some games with sound<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcUcD9y51w</ref>. It can also play some of Disgaea 3 and The Guided Fate Paradox, but with heavy graphical glitches and no sprites.<ref name="Disgaea3 video">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQEv6B6fIgA</ref><br />
<br />
Even on a relatively modern machine, it gets very low framerate. In Disgaea 3's menus it averages less than 3 frames per section<ref name="Disgaea3 video"/>. Gameplay usually averages <1 frame per second. The emulator has yet to implement a dynarec ([[Dynamic recompilation]]) – instead relying entirely on an interpreter, which means that it runs much slower than what will be possible in the future. <br />
<br />
It will be a while before it can play complex PS3 games. However – if the devs keep going at this rate, the wait might be shorter than anticipated.<br />

<div>[[File:Nes.png|thumb|250px|The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)]]The '''[[gametech:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]]''' (NES) is an 8-bit, 3rd generation console released in 1983 in Japan, where it was known as the '''Famicom'''.<br />
<br />
The Famicom Disk System (FDS) is a Japan-only add-on which played special versions of games. It featured an extra FM sound channel, which allowed for richer sounds and music than is possible on the regular console.<br />
<br />
Emulation for the NES is robust, with several high quality emulators for various systems.<br />

===Comparisons===<br />
*[[PuNES]] is the most accurate NES emulator according to tests.<ref name="nestas">http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref> These test ROMs used for determining accuracy in tests unfortunately, don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So just because an emulator has high ratings doesn't mean it is free of issues.<br />
*[[Nestopia]] has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> Nestopia has issues with The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and doesn't display the status bar in Mickey's Safari in Letterland correctly among other problems. Nestopia Undead Edition (abv. Nestopia UE) is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive and fixes the aforementioned bugs. This is generally the recommended standalone version. The libretro core for Nestopia fixes all known graphical glitches with the emulator.<br />
*[[FCEUX]] scores fairly low in the same tests, despite being a recommended emulator on TAS Videos. The New PPU is more accurate than the Old PPU, however. The emulator is still useful, though, thanks to its robust Lua scripting features and incorporating FCEUmm into its feature set.<br />
*For official emulation, use [[Virtual Console]]. It is very accurate and has the backing of many of the developers, including Nintendo, Capcom, Square Enix and Namco. The Wii has a significantly larger library of NES games to choose from than the 3DS or Wii U, especially from third-party publishers.<br />
<br />
There are many NES emulators not listed here, as the NES has more emulators than any other system, plus new ones are started all of the time. Only the ones that are well known or stand out in some way will be listed.<br />

==Emulation Issues==<br />

<br />
[[File:Retroarch_2013-08-16_06-32-24-62.png|thumb|250px|Example of faulty visuals that are exposed when no overscan is cropped. Note the blank blue area to the left and the green garbage on the right. On NTSC CRT TVs, these areas may or may not be visible]]Several NES games need the overscan to be cropped to look proper. There is however, seemingly no standard level of overcropping. Many games seem to require different levels of overcropping. SMB3 requires a lot of cropping, however the same level of cropping will obscure of the letters in the status bar in Castlevania games. It did not seem that there was standardization until the next generation of consoles.<br />

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Only available as an option on the [[libretro]] port of Nestopia.<br />
<br />
Unlike consoles like the SNES, which natively generate the image in pure RGB, the Famicom normally generates and outputs an encoded NTSC video signal, which must then be decoded by the TV's built-in NTSC decoder. This means the resulting color palette often varies depending on the display's decoder. This is why NES games appear to have different colors on different TV sets.<br />
<br />
NES emulators are similarly afflicted by this issue, as they each have their own algorithms for generating the NES color palette, meaning they all have slightly to wildly varying palettes. As such, there isn't really a "true" NES color palette, and which emulator has the "best" palette often comes down to preference, or whichever looks closest to how the real console looks on a user's own particular TV. FCEU based emulators come with a load of different preset palettes based on different people's perceptions of the NES colors, while emulators such as Nestopia have the ability for the user to edit the color palette to their liking, including the use of custom palettes that define the NES palette in any way the user wishes, such as [https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxpbnNlY3RkdWVsfGd4OjUyNmRmMDIzMzA3ZTQyN2U this palette used in Mega Man 9].<br />
<br />
Some arcade machines based on the NES hardware, such as the PlayChoice-10 and the Versus series of cabinets, did generate a native RGB signal, however. The colors on these cabinets tend to be very vibrant and saturated, giving games a very distinct look compared to how they would look on the real console. Nestopia gives the user the choice to use the RGB palette featured in these cabinets, though it is not usually considered to be the definitive or "real" NES palette.<br />
<br />
The [[libretro]] port of Nestopia has the option to output the raw chroma, level, and emphasis from the PPU through the RGB color channels. This by itself produces an image with completely bizarre colors, but this can be decoded by [[shaders]] to generate actual colors, the main example being [https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders/tree/master/crt/shaders/GTU-famicom GTU-Famicom].<br />
<br />
==Hardware Variants==<br />
===Famicom Disk System===<br />
A Japan-only peripheral using the disk format instead of cartridges, with unique games made for it, some of which were later ported to the regular NES/Famicom cartridge format with significant downgrades (especially the loss of enhanced FDS hardware audio). <br />
<br />
You'll need the fdsbios file to emulate games made for this peripheral. Switching disk sides will require using "Eject/Insert Disk", "Switch Disk Side", then "Eject/Insert Disk" again. <br />
<br />
===VS System===<br />
An arcade system based on the NES released for the US. Most emulators have an option to let you "Insert Coin(s)".<br />
<br />
ROMs made with VC system in mind played in the emulator's NES mode, or playing a NES ROM in the emulator's VS mode, will cause the colors to be totally garbled. This is either an issue with the emulator's configuration or the ROM's iNES header.<br />
<br />
===Famicom Box===<br />
Also rereleased later as Sharp's FamicomStation. It's a bulky metal cube with a slot to insert money and tons of locks, which was distributed in select hotels and stores. It can hold at once up to 15 select Famicom releases, which much more lockout chips and pins with different behavior than usual, and support for only mapper 0 games. It also has unique boot screen for both models.<br />
<br />
Neither the cartridges nor the BIOS have been dumped or tested if they work with an emulator, unlike with the Super Famicom Box which had its BIOS and most ROMs dumped.<br />
<br />
===Dendy===<br />
A pirate NES Famicom clone which was sold in Russia and Eastern Europe, with the blueprint reused for other Famiclones. Here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kne6AKyYUuM a link] to a CC-subtitled Kinaman video for more details. It's a very quirky NTSC NES optimized for 50Hz, with other changes from the official PAL NES - though those differences break compatibility of Dendy-specific releases with most emulators.<br />
<br />
MESS supports this console, and FCEUX introduced support for it in r3134, with the already included support for iNES 2.0 ROM headers (which include the option to mark a ROM region as PAL Dendy). The carts themselves can be played as long as the emulator supports broken cards.<br />
<br />
Setting the "Family Keyboard" under "Input" might be needed for some of these Famiclones.<br />

<div>[[File:Wii U.png|thumb|The Nintendo Wii U]]The '''Wii U''' is an eighth-generation console released by Nintendo in 2012. It is the first console by Nintendo to output to high-definition (HD) resolutions, such as 720p and 1080p. It includes a tablet-like controller, known as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U_Gamepad Wii U GamePad], to provide certain additional gameplay. Notably, it can play all [[Wii emulators|Wii]] games, as well as supporting the Wii Remote controllers for native Wii U games.<br />

===Comparisons===<br />
* Cemu can launch and play commercial titles, but is at an extremely early stage of development, having no performance optimization, no audio emulation, numerous bugs, and very little stability. It is also closed source.<br />
* decaf-emu is a research project for Wii U emulation. It cannot play any commercial games. That said, it's on track and development is pretty fast, and basic rendering with even some texture implementation is already there. This emulator is, however, open source.<br />
<br />
===Emulation Issues===<br />
The disc dump format needs to be uncompressed for current builds. However the method to make these dumps hasn't been made public yet outside of a few developer circles.<br />
===Dolphin===<br />
You might have read about an unofficial branch of [[Dolphin]] with Wii U support - don't get your hopes up. While the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC PowerPC] architecture family in the WiiU is the same as the Wii and GC (this fact alone was the reason why Wii emulation was added to Dolphin, originally GC-only), this support is nothing more than the file viewer features (region, internal name, various info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a way to extract them) being expanded to Wii U disc images. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front as far as Dolphin is concerned, and the Dolphin developers have said that they're not going to add Wii U support to Dolphin.<br />

==Review==<br />
In addition to the standard [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators#Color_Palette|color palettes]] used by most NES emulators, puNES uses a color palette derived from an actual TV.<br />
The emulator also allows custom palettes wich can be made [http://drag.wootest.net/misc/palgen.html here]<br />
<br />
It is ranked as the [http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html most accurate NES emulator]. However these test ROMs, unfortunately, don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So the test results may be a bit misleading, but that does not mean it is not a high accuracy emulator.<br />
<br />
In addition to its high accuracy, puNES also has some very nice, standard emu options, including a very good input configuration UI.<br />

* [[DEmul]] has the highest compatibility and is the most accurate Dreamcast emulator, but there may be some games that work better on NullDC or reicast, so it's a good idea to try them all.<br />
<br />
* Makaron is the only Dreamcast emulator that can properly play games which use Windows CE.<br />

==Emulation issues==<br />
Dreamcast emulation is okay, but nothing great. Some games work well, but many have problems and glitches.<br />

*XQEMU is an LLE emulator which is slowly advancing. As of now, it can emulate the BIOS and many games at very slow speeds. Nothing playable yet.<br />
*Xeon can emulate Halo CE to the point where the first stage is semi-playable. The walls and ground are pitch black and the game crashes after you complete first stage (or right after you select the difficulty on modern versions of Windows.)<br />
<br />
Consoles<br />
*Xbox 360 is backwards compatible, but it is not 100% like the [[Wii emulators|Wii]] is with the [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]]. While some work off the bat, some need patches downloaded and even then there are still issues with many games from graphical glitches and slowdown to errors that can make gameplay impossible.<br />
<br />
==Emulation issues==<br />
Due to a lack of interest, or in some case very toxic behavior or potential legal threats towards devs, the Xbox emulation scene is almost dormant at the moment. <br />
<br />
Compounded to this is the high level entry for the effort involved: emulating a complex (and partially undocumented) x86 CPU from scratch, undocumented NVIDIA graphical and sound components (the Nouveau project for Linux may be of help, but the GeForce architecture is notoriously complicated), and obscure BIOS for each hardware revision posing problems with many things, including video rendering. ([http://ngemu.com/threads/why-is-xbox-emulation-premature.132032/ More]) There's progress nevertheless, but it's very slow.<br />

=== Comparisons ===<br />
* [[MAME]] is very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's supported. Do not expect support for more recent boards, such as atomiswave. MAME focuses on [[accuracy]] and archiving arcade games, which means it does not always focus on usability for the end user. Only the most up to date romdumps will work in the latest MAME. There are many MAME front-ends available.<br />
<br />
* [[Final Burn Alpha]] supports a many boards, such as Neo Geo, Capcom CPS1-3 and others. It is very good for the boards it supports. The Neo-Geo X system in fact uses FBA. It offers much better speeds on lower end hardware than MAME and has been ported to many different devices, such as Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Original XBox, Sega Saturn, Android, Wii, Dingoo, and many others.<br />
<br />
* DICE is made for emulating old arcade machines from the early 1970's at a very high level of accuracy. Since these machines had no CPU, the emulator instead emulates discrete logic components in the circuit board. This method is very system-intensive, and getting full speed requires at least a mid-range gaming PC along with the 64-bit version of the emulator.<br />
<br />
* Supermodel emulates Sega's Model 3 arcade platform focusing in accuracy. Presently, Supermodel is in a very early "alpha" stage of development, meaning it lacks many planned features. It does not yet have a user-friendly graphical interface, game compatibility remains low, and all CPUs are emulated using straightforward (and slow) interpretation rather than fast just-in-time translation.<br />

==Review==<br />
In addition to the standard [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators#Color_Palette|color palettes]] used by most NES emulators, PuNES uses a color palette derived from an actual TV.<br />
The emulator also allows custom palettes wich can be made [http://drag.wootest.net/misc/palgen.html here]<br />
<br />
It is ranked as the [http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html most accurate NES emulator]. However these test ROMs, unfortunately, don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So the test results may be a bit misleading. That does not mean it is not a high accuracy emulator.<br />
<br />
In addition to its high accuracy, PuNES also has some very nice, standard emu options, including a very good input configuration UI.<br />

==Overview==<br />
Stella is also available as a [[libretro]] core for [[RetroArch]], albeit an older version (3.4.1).<br />
<br />
Some may say that emulating an Atari has no point, since the games were so simplistic due to hardware limitations of the time that gaming has far surpassed them. However, if you have a curiosity for Atari despite not being born in the era, or if you just want to re-live some nostalgic memories, this emulator is great. It also has some television filters to up the nostalgia factor.<br />
<br />
==Links==<br />
[http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php SDL 2.0.] You need this as it's required to run Stella (and some versions aren't packaged with it.) It's easy to install. It's just a .dll that you drop into your Stella folder.<br />

<div>[[File:1676971-ms_pac_man_arcade_machine.jpg|thumb|156px|Example of a Ms. Pac-Man arcade cabinet.]]Arcades are not a single console, but rather hundreds of separate arcade system boards. Most arcade emulators focus on emulating many systems in one program, with some focusing on a few systems, and others attempting to emulate every system.<br />

=== Comparisons ===<br />
* [[MAME]] is very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's supported. Do not expect support for more recent boards, such as atomiswave. MAME focuses on [[accuracy]] and archiving arcade games, which means it does not always focus on usability for the end user. Only the most up to date romdumps will work in the latest MAME. There are many MAME front-ends available.<br />
<br />
* [[Final Burn Alpha]] supports a many boards, such as Neo Geo, Capcom CPS1-3 and others. It is very good for the boards it supports. The Neo-Geo X system in fact uses FBA. It offers much better speeds on lower end hardware than MAME and has been ported to many different devices, such as Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Original XBox, Sega Saturn, Android, Wii, Dingoo, and many others.<br />
<br />
* DICE is made for emulating old arcade machines from the early 1970's at a very high level of accuracy. Since these machines had no CPU, the emulator instead emulates discrete logic components in the circuit board. This method is very system-intensive, and getting full speed requires at least a mid-range gaming PC along with the 64-bit version of the emulator.<br />
<br />
* Supermodel emulates Sega's Model 3 arcade platform focusing in accuracy. Presently, Supermodel is in a very early "alpha" stage of development, meaning it lacks many planned features. It does not yet have a user-friendly graphical interface, game compatibility remains low, and all CPUs are emulated using straightforward (and slow) interpretation rather than fast just-in-time translation.<br />

<br />
==Review==<br />
In addition to the standard [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators#Color_Palette|color palettes]] used by most NES emulators, PuNES uses a color palette derived from an actual TV.<br />
The emulator also allows custom palettes wich can be made [http://drag.wootest.net/misc/palgen.html here]<br />
<br />
It is ranked as the [http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html most accurate NES emulator]. However these test ROMs, unfortunately, don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So the test results may be a bit misleading. That does not mean it is not a high accuracy emulator.<br />
<br />
In addition to its high accuracy, PuNES also has some very nice, standard emu options, including a very good input configuration UI.<br />

Despite the intense marketing efforts by Atari, the Jaguar is in fact a 32-bit console rather than 64-bit, as a whole; only one part of its two CPUs were 64-bit. The console would prove to be the final home console release for Atari, before releasing plug-and-play versions of their older games.<br />

===Comparison===<br />
* Project Tempest was the first ever working Atari Jaguar emulator. It emulates some games, but most have issues. As it's name suggests it was primarily made for Tempest 2000, with other games as secondary goals. Project Tempest only supports two Jaguar CD games; Primal Rage and Baldies (the latter has sound distortion though). It has not been updated since 2004.<br />
<br />
* Virtual Jaguar Is an open source emulator based on the original by the same name. It has excellent support and framerate. It is the most compatible Jaguar emulator yet. Use the link given as "git" on this page and choose the most current version from there.<br />

<br />
The Famicom Disk System (FDS) is a Japan-only add-on which played special versions of games. It featured an extra FM sound channel, which allowed for richer sounds and music than is possible on the regular console.<br />
<br />
Emulation for the NES is robust, with several high quality emulators for various systems.<br />

===Comparisons===<br />
*[[PuNES]] is the most accurate NES emulator according to tests.<ref name="nestas">http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref> These test ROMs used for determining accuracy in tests unfortunately, don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So just because an emulator has high ratings doesn't mean it is free of issues.<br />
*[[Nestopia]] has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> Nestopia has issues with The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and doesn't display the status bar in Mickey's Safari in Letterland correctly among other problems. Nestopia Undead Edition (abv. Nestopia UE) is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive. This is generally the recommended version.<br />
*[[FCEUX]] scores fairly low in the same tests, despite being a recommended emulator on TAS Videos. The New PPU is more accurate than the Old PPU, however. Version 2.2.2 is promised to have brought improvements from Bizhawk, a more accurate emulator, but it is unknown how much is fixed.<br />
*For official emulation, use [[Virtual Console]]. It is more accurate than the unofficial emulators and has the backing of many of the developers, including Nintendo, Capcom, Square Enix and Namco.<br />
<br />
There are many NES emulators not listed here, as this system has more emulators than any other system and it would take pages to list all of them, plus new ones are started all of the time. It's best to just list the ones that are well known and stand out in some way.<br />
<br />
==Emulation Issues==<br />
===Overscan===<br />
<br />
[[File:Retroarch_2013-08-16_06-32-24-62.png|thumb|250px|Example of faulty visuals that are exposed due to crop overscan not working. Note the blank blue area to the left and the green garbage on the right.]]Several NES games need the overscan to be cropped to look proper. There is however, seemingly no standard level of overcropping. Many games seem to require different levels of overcropping. SMB3 requires a lot of cropping, however the same level of cropping will obscure of the letters in the status bar in Castlevania games. It did not seem that there was standardization until the next generation of consoles.<br />

<br />
Unlike consoles like the SNES, which natively generate the image in pure RGB, the Famicom normally generates and outputs an encoded NTSC video signal, which must then be decoded by the TV's built-in NTSC decoder. This means the resulting color palette often varies depending on the display's decoder. This is why NES games appear to have different colors on different TV sets.<br />
<br />
NES emulators are similarly afflicted by this issue, as they each have their own algorithms for generating the NES color palette, meaning they all have slightly to wildly varying palettes. As such, there isn't really a "true" NES color palette, and which emulator has the "best" palette often comes down to preference, or whichever looks closest to how the real console looks on a user's own particular TV. Emulators such as Nestopia have the ability for the user to edit the color palette to their liking.<br />
<br />
Some arcade machines based on the NES hardware, such as the PlayChoice-10 and the Versus series of cabinets, did generate a native RGB signal, however. The colors on these cabinets tend to be very vibrant and saturated, giving games a very distinct look compared to how they would look on the real console. Nestopia gives the user the choice to use the RGB palette featured in these cabinets, though it is not usually considered to be the definitive or "real" NES palette.<br />

==Review==<br />
For TAS purposes, this emulator is king. Otherwise, though, for multi-system emulators, [[RetroArch]] is a superior alternative, plus the fact that it is on a lot more platforms than this.<br />
