===Comparisons===
 
;CreatiVEmu
 
:Emulator by Roberto Ventura, coded in may 2001 for use with MS-DOS and then made Windows-compatible a few months later. It supports all existing ROMs with accurate video and audio emulation. Complete cassette tape player emulation, allowing to load/save BASIC listings through custom "binary log" format.
 
:Unfortunately it's never been publicly released and it's marked as "discontinued" since 2002.
 
;creatiVision emulator
 
:The most recently developed emulator of the creatiVision, also featuring full compatibility with the Laser 2001 and Salora Manager home computers through a self-developed version of the BIOS. Great overall emulation quality and an useful option to load programs from cassette dumps. Programmed with C and SDL. Source code available. No user interface (command-line operated).
 
;CvEmu2
 
:Emulator by Giovanni Ortu, supporting all existing ROMs (except the new formats for 6 and 18KB) with full video emulation, no audio emulation. Featuring a preliminary in-game menu. Programmed with C and SDL, compiled for Windows and Linux. Source code available.
 
;FunnyMu
 
:Emulator by Paul Hayter, supporting 4, 8, 10 and 12KB ROMs with full video and audio emulation, unfortunately has no in-game menu and can't be configured. Programmed with C and SDL, based on MAME and ColEm source codes, compiled for Windows and Linux. Source code available.
 
;FunnyMu (unofficial)
 
:MADrigal's personal revision of FunnyMu, with a few additions:
 
* fully compatible with all currently dumped ROMs (also 6, 10, 16 and 18KB ROM formats)
 
* correct colour palette (matching the one in MAME)
 
* support for right controller emulation and complete keyboard emulation
 
* mathematics bug-fixes here and there
 
* screenshot save
 
* load/save BASIC listings in plain text format
 
* settings stored to .ini file
 
* windowed and fullscreen modes available
 
:Windows version is fully compatible with the new CreatiVe-UI graphics interface, also featuring a quite detailed games database with screenshots.
 
:Amiga version also available by Amigan Software.
 
:Wii version also available by Wiimpathy.
 
;MAME (formerly MESS)
 
:Since version 0.135 (released on November 7th, 2009), MESS includes MADrigal's revision of the CreatiVision driver, with a few additions and bug-fixes to previous releases.
 
:Emulation accuracy is very high, though there's still much work to do in order to add several missing features and to make input management a little bit more user-friendly.
 
:As of 2017, MESS is incorporated in MAME.
