BizHawk is an open-source 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.
