==Overview==
Visual Boy Advance-M is the best emulator for the GBA. RetroArch's VBA-Next is based off an older revision of VBA-M with added speedhacks and tweaks, making it a bit less accurate in some respects, though it fixes a few games such as Advance Wars 2. Higan's GBA core is cycle-accurate, but is otherwise very much a WIP and not as compatible as either version of VBA.

microM8 is unusual amongst Apple II emulators in that in can render Apple II video output as voxels, creating a 3D effect. It provides various options to offset pixels by color, remap colors, add overlays and backdrops, background music and so forth. Users can also run 'control programs' that interact with the emulated game or application. microM8 also has recording and rewind support.
 +
 
 +
microM8 also contains Applesoft and Integer BASIC interpreters with additional commands and access to 3D video modes, and a vectorised version of Apple Logo.

Because it is written in Go, it is multi-threaded, with various emulated components operating independently rather than having a central loop.  
  
The last official release of gpSP was version 0.9 by Exophase. There are, however, two superior forks: [http://dl.qj.net/psp/emulators/gpsp-mod-20090720.html gpSPmod] and [http://filetrip.net/psp-downloads/homebrew/download-gpsp-j-12-06-16-f29570.htmlgpSP-J gpSP-J]. gpSP-J has superior compatibility, while gpSPmod has more options for customization (full screen, cheats, etc). Both are superior to Kai.

Overview

microM8 is unusual amongst Apple II emulators in that in can render Apple II video output as voxels, creating a 3D effect. It provides various options to offset pixels by color, remap colors, add overlays and backdrops, background music and so forth. Users can also run 'control programs' that interact with the emulated game or application. microM8 also has recording and rewind support.

microM8 also contains Applesoft and Integer BASIC interpreters with additional commands and access to 3D video modes, and a vectorised version of Apple Logo.

Because it is written in Go, it is multi-threaded, with various emulated components operating independently rather than having a central loop.
