;UNZ
:The only FM Towns/Marty emulator with very high compatibility, last updated in 2010. Despite the website and documentation being in Japanese, the emulator is available in English. It cannot run ISOs directly: images must be either burnt , instead choosing to a CD and read game data from an optical drive that's attached to the disc or host system (thankfully, ISOs can easily be mounted to a as virtual driveoptical drives on most modern OSes, even Windows 10). Floppy disk images, however, can be loaded directlyinto the emulator itself. The emulator requires a number of ROM files, which can be found [http://emuz0n3.tripod.com/townsbios.zip here]. The only noteworthy thing UNZ isn’t yet capable to run is Windows 95.
;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>.
;Tsugaru
:A new FM Towns emulation project, started in January 2020. Within a year of development, over 95% of software achieved [http://ysflight.in.coocan.jp/FM/towns/Tsugaru/e.html compatibility] - check release logs under Revisions far down the main GitHub page. 80386 CPU type is fine; but (WIP) 80486 emulation needs a strong late 2010's PC CPU. Various audio chips/generators still WIP. Early release builds started popping up in [https://github.com/captainys/TOWNSEMU/releases late August 2020].
;MAME
:Preliminary driver. It’s not a skeleton anymore, but it’s far from being up to snuff. ;Tsugaru:A new FM Towns emulation project, started in January 2020. See this [httphttps://ysflightwiki.inmamedev.coocanorg/index.jpphp/FM/towns/Tsugaru/e.html CompatibilityDriver:FMTowns official guide] is preliminary, but some games like Afterburner II boot and run. Early release builds started popping up in (Source: [https://githubwiki.mamedev.comorg/captainysindex.php/TOWNSEMU/releases late August 2020System-Specific_Setup_and_Information System-Specific Setup and Information]under MAMEDev Wiki) on installing TownsOS on MAME.
