;FM Towns/Bochs
:A patch of [[Bochs]] that makes it somewhat compatible with FM Towns, deemed to be the first working emulator for the system. Just like regular Bochs, its configuration file needs a lot of tweaking to work (rough documentation [https://illusioncity.net/Towns/bochs%20config.txt here]). It has been long abandoned, compatibility is very spotty and emulation is remarkably slow, so don’t hold your breath.
→Emulators: Thank you to new editors for making this essential page (And Sharp X1 page too). Added open-source column. Updated releases page link for "Tsugaru". Downgraded "FM Towns/Bochs" emu.

;Xe
:An old multi-system emulator for Linux (x86 and PowerPC) with decent FM Towns Marty support. Windows port requires [https://sourceforge.net/projects/gladewin32/files/gtk%2B-win32-runtime/ GTK+ Runtime]. It requires a very odd BIOS file to work, obtained by concatenating the two MAME-ready ROMs into a single file named ‘marty.rom’, then placed into a subfolder titled ‘bios’. On Windows, this can be achieved using the command <code>copy /B mrom.m36 + mrom.m37 marty.rom</code>.

:A new FM Towns emulation project, started in January 2020. [http://ysflight.in.coocan.jp/FM/towns/Tsugaru/e.html Compatibility ] is preliminary, but some games like Afterburner II boot and run. Currently available as source only, but the author is interested in offering binaries in the future. Early release builds started popping up in [https://github.com/captainys/TOWNSEMU/releases/tag/v20200628 late June 2020]. ;FM Towns/Bochs:A patch of [[Bochs]] that makes it somewhat compatible with FM Towns, deemed to be the first working emulator for the system.
