'''BizHawk''' is an open-source [[Multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]], as well as a [[libretro]] frontend designed predominantly around the production of Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS).


It is written in C# and requires .NET Framework 4.0 (in 1.X releases) or .NET Framework 4.6.1 (in 2.X releases) to run. BizHawk focuses on core accuracy and power user tools while still being an easy-to-use emulator for casual gaming.

For tool-assisted speedruns, BizHawk is king. Since 1.11.4, it has support for [[libretro]] cores, making it a good alternative for RetroArch, and adds TAS support for all compatible cores. Also supports [https://retroachievements.org/download.php#bizhawk RetroAchievements].

LUA scripting support has pretty unique utilities. For example [https://github.com/authorblues/bizhawk-shuffler-2 Bizhawk Shuffler 2] is a popular script that randomly shuffle between games played in Bizhawk, with plugins to enhance the experience.
