==Overview==

The official website of the Cygne emulator was last updated on March 26, 2002, so this ~~was definitely a very~~ ancient emulator by ~~emulation~~ standards. The last version of Cygne, 2.1a, was updated on March 12, 2002. Cygne was originally developed in beta form for the DOS but has since ~~then~~ been improved and several issues fixed such as better timing and the SRAM. In the early ~~2000's~~, it was reputed to be one the best WonderSwan/Color emulators - but Cygne isn't recommended today in the advent of more advanced and better alternatives.

The NEC CPU emulator code was taken from the [[MAME]] project.

==Oswan==

It was, in the early ~~2000's~~, a very good WonderSwan emulator. It emulates WonderSwan Mono and Color, has a nice GUI, and good sound. It is based off the Cygne source code and authored by David Raingeard. This was an unofficial continuation of Oswan by PmHacks (Later called [https://github.com/Normmatt?tab=repositories Normmatt], who did several English translation patches for GBA games) that improved sound and performance. Oswan also features the ability to apply several video filters as well as color schemes to add color to WonderSwan Classic titles. The source code is also available.

The latest Oswan branch can be found at the [https://osdn.net/projects/oswan/devel/ OSDN webpage]. It says that it is written in the C++ programming language. However, that branch seems to be old as the latest version, [https://osdn.net/projects/oswan/releases/p5046 1.73], was uploaded on January 23, 2007, while [https://osdn.net/projects/oswan/releases/p11110 OswanJ r99] (Japanese language menus) was uploaded on June 08, 2010.
