Mednafen jest bardzo udanym multiemulatorem, który powstał przede wszystkim z myślą o linuksie, jednak dzięki portowi pod win32, możemy pobawić się nim także pod okienkami. Jest na tyle dobrym udawaczem, że na podwalinie jego kodu powstały takie emulatory jak VBjin (VirtualBoy) i PCEjin (PCEngine) Delikata.
Już emulowane platformy to Atari Lynx, GameBoy (Color), GameBoy Advance, NES, PC Engine(TurboGrafx 16), SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket (Color), PC-FX i WonderSwan (Color)) i PSX,
Mednafen 0.9.27-WIP 21.12.2012
Especially notable end-user-visible changes with this release:
- Improved PS1 emulation.
- Linux joystick code is now less strict about proper device permissions.
- Reduced SNES/SFC input latency by 1 video frame.
- Added optional CD disc image memory caching feature, controlled by the "cd.image_memcache" setting.
- Resolved a problem with the NES/Famicom sound emulation code that could cause extreme CPU usage under certain conditions when emulating a game that has expansion chip sound(for example, FDS games).
The following settings have been added:
- nes.correct_aspect
- cd.image_memcache
