Notes

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Main branch is dead, but the libretro core is still alive.
↑ Due to using a non-commercial license. Source code is still publicly available.
↑ Available exclusively as a libretro core.
↑ Requires the Triforce branch to work. It is very old and unsupported.
↑ At Alpha release and has bugs that are not present on standalone Dolphin.
↑ Pokémon mini core available not yet available in binary releases (source only).
↑ SameBoy's libretro core supports Link Cable, standalone does not.
↑ Pretty buggy but sometimes works.
↑ Full GBC, GBA and GB support since version 2.1.3.
↑ The developers are currently treating version increments as milestones, not as stables.
↑ As 0.153 (2014), 0.139 (2010), 0.78 (2003)
↑ Source only, pass '--enable-x64' to configure
↑ Supports the Conroe model.
↑ As calculated by Carlo Delhez's clkfreq, originally distributed with his XTender emulator. The ZX81 has relatively complicated timing mechanics, depending on signalling of WAIT during NMI; relative speed is a measurement of how closely an emulator matches a real machine in terms of clock cycles spent processing within a frame. 100.0% denotes the same execution speed as a real machine.
↑ After turning off the simulated hardware improvements that were not standard in the original computer.

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 Only available on PC as a libretro core (e.g. RetroArch).
↑ The Game Gear emulation doesn't work.
