Multi-system emulators focus on emulating many different systems under one program. They can be focused on a single company's systems because of the similarity of the systems or may have systems from many different companies. To be defined as "multi-system" an emulator has to emulate two or more distinct systems. Although, for simplicity reasons in this wiki (not just this page), the term, "multi-platform", in the OS column fields can come to mean three or more covered platforms. For the purpose of this list, Add-ons (eg. Sega CD, 32X) are not counted as a separate system. ==Emulators==<div style="max-width:100%; overflow:auto;">{| borderclass="0wikitable" cellpaddingstyle="1text-align:center;" cellspacing! scope="1col" class|Name! scope="col"|Platform(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|[https://retroachievements.org/download.php <abbr title="articleMulti-table articlesystem emulators supporting RetroAchievements">Retro<br/>Achievements</abbr>]! scope="col"|[[libretro|Libretro Core]]! scope="col"|# of Emulated systems! scope="col"|<abbr title="Free/Libre and Open-table-selectedSource Software">FLOSS</abbr>! scope="col" style|Active! scope="width: 500px;col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]
