| − | ==Overview==
| |
| − | PolyBlast was a closed-source fork of [[ares]], featuring an alternative user-interface and additional emulation cores that were not present in either ares or higan.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Compared to ares==
| |
| − | PolyBlast contained all the same emulation cores as ares does, with the addition of ZX Spectrum emulation, but allowed for complex customisation options (nested peripherals, computer expansion slots/devices, etc) that are unavailable from the simple ares user interface.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Compared to higan==
| |
| − | PolyBlast included emulation cores that are not available in higan, and retained higan's high level of configurability, presenting it in a simple menu-driven user-interface, rather than the tree system.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Hiatus and Termination==
| |
| − | As of July 06 2021, PolyBlast was on indefinite hold as its author is now the new maintainer of ares upstream. As of September 2021, the PolyBlast website was taken down.
