- For software that can run BSD variants on other Operating Systems, see Hypervisors.
BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) was originally developed by the University of California, Berkeley where the Berkeley in BSD comes from. there are many BSD descendents. such as the ones focused here, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. And ones not focused here due to due to BSD's permissive licensing. BSD code has been used in macOS, PS3, PS4, PS5 and the Nintendo Switch.

- Before diving in;
- This list is currently taken from console specific pages. If you want to add to this list test emulators work on BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.) and add them to this list and add BSD to the console specific list of supported platforms. Some emulators that target Linux might have community made instructions/ports for some variants of BSD. Like Linux, Windows programs might run under Wine on FreeBSD. FreeBSD has the widest support for emulation software currently, because of this fact this article has a bias towards FreeBSD. See this page for recommended specifications.
- See each Wiki Category Consoles, Computers and Arcade for individual dedicated system pages to see provided up-to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, compatibility and also enhancements features etc.
- Some games have Game engine recreations and source ports that run on BSD, which can be the better than emulators for their specific games.

Notes
- ↑ The Original BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) was discontinued in 1995 but still has active descendents
- ↑ Main branch is dead, but the libretro core is still alive.
- ↑ Due to using a non-commercial license. Source code is still publicly available.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ SameBoy's libretro core supports Link Cable, standalone does not.
- ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 Only available on PC as a libretro core (e.g. RetroArch).
- ↑ The Game Gear emulation doesn't work.
- ↑ As of Version 0.251, NEC PC-8801MA, NEC PC-8801MH, and NEC PC-8801mkIISR, and the clones: NEC PC-8801FA, NEC PC-8801MA2, NEC PC-8801mkIIFR and NEC PC-8801mkIIMR have been promoted to working status and is considered playable
- ↑ Only libretro core is still active.
- ↑ 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.
