MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.

New version of the unofficial continuation of the NINTENDO 8 emulator project (Famicon) - Nestopia. It is worth mentioning that at the moment Nestopia UE is being developed only as an application for Linux and as a library included in the project libretro, strangely 1.49 a version for Windows has been made available. The changelog has not been made available to the file, you need to make use of svn.

Supermodel emulates Sega's Model 3 arcade platform, allowing you to play a number of ground-breaking arcade classics on your PC. The aim of the Supermodel project is to develop an emulator that is both accurate and playable. As with virtually all arcade hardware, no public documentation for the Model 3 platform exists. What is known so far has been painstakingly reverse engineered from scratch. There is still plenty left to figure out and the emphasis at this early phase of development is toward accuracy rather than speed and usability.

You think, Vice, and you know that there will be talk of Commodore hardware emulation, you think how quickly to fire something on C64 you reach for Vice. Vice has the absolute status of the most recognizable CBM emulator on most platforms, as well as Altirra for ATARI equipment. After a year of new versions of the night, a new version of this emulator finally appeared - what's new is the tip of what you can find by tracking changes in the repository of this project.

Altirra is an 8-bit Atari emulator, thanks to which, on a computer with the Windows operating system, we will launch classic games available exclusively on Atari. The emulator has an internal core, allowing you to run selected games or programs without the need to install ROMs, the manufacturer does not recommend using this solution. He explains that the internal kernel implemented here has been written from scratch, so compatibility issues may occur. The emulator supports disk images saved in the following formats: ATR, DCM, ATX and PRO. You can also make use of Atari (.obx/.xex) executable files.

Emulator Amstrad CPC that is created by Frederic Coste which is in beta phase and from which a pre-release has been launched so that people can start to test their functionalities. The basic and most interesting functions that this emulator allows are the emulation of several Amstrad models (464,664 and 6128) with the QWERTY (English) and AZERTY (French) keyboards, the possibility of using 64kb of expanded memory in the 464 and 664, Use of OpenGL and emulation of the original discs thanks to the built-in FDC.

Raine (for Rainbow Islands Emulator) is an arcade multiemulator, it can handle games from CPS systems, Taito, Jaleco and it's run titles from NeoGeoCD (in last year project raine and neoraine was combined in one application).

Steem SSE is a new version of Steem based on that source release. It incorporates new features and emulation improvements, some of them based on the Hatari  and SainT emulators (this "emulation" goes both ways), some on various internet discussions technical documentation, like chip datasheets, and  tests on real hardware. Steem SSE aims to be the #1 STF/STE emulator. There's no limitation in the original Steem code structure (in C++) that would make that goal unreachable. 'SSE' stands for 'Steven Seagal Edition'. Steven Seagal is a well known Aikido grandmaster, action movie star, musician and playboy. It is rumoured he has a shadowy past working for some secret agencies.  

WinUAE is a 32-, 64-bit Windows version (XP/Vista/7/8/10) of the UAE Amiga Emulator. UAE is the collaborative effort of a number of Amiga enthusiasts to create a portable Amiga emulator under the GNU Public License.
