==Overview==
PolyBlast is was a closed-source fork of [[ares]], featuring an alternative user-interface and additional emulation cores that are were not present in either ares or higan.
==Compared to ares==
PolyBlast contains contained all the same emulation cores as ares does, with the addition of ZX Spectrum emulation, but allows allowed for complex customisation options (nested peripherals, computer expansion slots/devices, etc) that are unavailable from the simple ares user interface.
==Compared to higan==
PolyBlast includes included emulation cores that are not available in [[higan]], and retains retained higan's high level of configurability, presenting it in a simple menu-driven user-interface, rather than the tree system. ==Hiatus and Termination==As of July 06 2021, PolyBlast was on indefinite hold as its author is now the new maintainer of ares upstream. As of September 2021, the PolyBlast website was taken down.
