Forum member Mike Chambers has informed us an emulator he has recently re-worked on and completed in C when it was originally worked on in Basic and abandoned.

It's open-source, supports all 8086 and 80186 instrutions, emulates most of the standard PC hardware, uses image files for floppy/hard drive (like QEMU), runs on windows/linux (and OS X with a little tweaking of the source)..

It runs every version of DOS.

feature overview:
-complete 8086/80186 CPU emulation
-intel 8259 interrupt controler emulation
-hercules/CGA/MCGA/VGA emulation (lacks EGA and 640x480 4-bit VGA currently)
-adlib emulation
-disney sound source emulation
-in windows, it can use winpcap to emulate a network card... theres a special DOS packet driver designed for it that is on the fd-fake86.ima floppy image that comes with the windows download (PD.COM)

(no DMA controller or sound blaster emulation yet, but eventually...)

more info, downloads, screenshots, etc:
http://fake86.rubbermallet.org

video of it playing Wolfenstein 3D:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgcIgz-EQ4

^youtube's encoding messed up the audio pretty nicely for some reason. it sounds better than this. the video there sounds like its underwater or something.

it's also very fast, it rivals DOSBox for speed. depending on what's being emulated, it'll emulate between 25 million and 70 million instructions/sec on my 3.2 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 955.

PCSX-Reloaded is a fork of PCSX for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that has been around for some time and has been noted at this site in the description for PCSX, but until now did not have its own page. This has now been fixed.

1.9.92 was actually released some time ago from what I can see, but here's the latest whatsnew regardless:


  • Many fixes/changes to the core and Internal HLE BIOS.
  • Root counters code has been rewritten.
  • Use GTE code from PCSX-Revolution Project which improved accuracy.
  • Added netplay plugin for *NIX (based on netSock).
  • Native support for FreeBSD and Solaris.
  • Replaced HIDInput and CDDeviceInterface plugins with dfinput/dfcdrom for Mac OS X.
  • PPF patching support.
  • Other minor bugfixes/tweaks.

Binary and source downloads are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are available at their new pages here or at the official site. Thanks to Rezo for reporting this news.

gbpablog is another Game Boy emulator we didn't have on this site until now. It's written in C++, using WxWidgets and SDL. Little information seems available on the actual features, but savestate and sound support are mentioned in the latest changelog, and the screenshots show gameplay of commercial games, so I presume compatibility is at least half-decent. However, only classic Game Boy games are shown, so I don't think this emulator has GBC support as of yet.

Binaries are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, but the source code is only available via a Mercurial repository.

The current version is 0.9, and here's what's new in that version:


  • Added sound
  • Added support for savestates
  • Improved the way the frames are drawn
  • Fixed bug in MBC
  • Implemented serial port interruption (needed by some games)
  • The SDL library is no more needed to be installed in MacOSX, is included in the app bundle
  • Improved accuracy
  • Improved compatibility

The author has also posted about the following problems with this version:

  • Choppy sound with the package libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio.
  • Delayed sound with the package libsdl1.2debian-alsa but with some games can be acceptable.
  • The emulator hangs with the package libsdl1.2debian-esd.

It seems the emulator has fairly serious issues with both PulseAudio and ALSA, though I have not yet tested it myself.

Binaries for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are now available at their respective download pages. The official site has the binaries for all platforms as well as the aforementioned Mercurial repository for source code download.

CrystalBoy is a Game Boy emulator for Windows written in C# that has evaded our attention until now. It has high compatibility, emulates both the classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and has a graphical debugger. However, it's still missing sound and has some remaining compatibility issues.

The current version is 1.3 but the downloads page for the emulator only has source code for the initial release. Fortunately, it seems the latest source code is available via a Subversion repository. The changes for 1.3 are as follows:


  • More accurate CPU emulation (according to the tests, all instructions now compute 100% exact… Only HALT and STOP may need reworking)
  • Direct2D render method with SlimDX (March 2011)
  • More accurate graphics emulation (dynamic color palette changes, correct sprite priority emulation)
  • \"Perfect\" RTC emulation
  • Bugfixes in Mapper emulation (generic mapper bugfixes and some MBCx specific ones)
  • Enhanced various areas dealing with game information
  • Added support for saving the RAM for games with battery (finally !)
  • Saving the RAM also saves the RTC information for games using the RTC
  • UI is now localizable
  • Added fr-FR localization
  • Better detection of invalid plugins, which should prevent crashes.
  • Hardware Type can now be changed using UI (Menu items previously did nothing…)
  • Various chanegs in emulation for hardware type switching. (Quite logically, changing hardware now requires the emulation to be reset)

The binary for the latest version (as well as the source code for the initial release) is available from our CrystalBoy page, while the latest binary and the Subversion repository for the source code is at the official site.

BGB, a rather high quality Game Boy emulator for Windows, has been updated to version 1.3.2. Here's what's new:


  • more accurate SGB color scheme.
  • improved detection of non-working vsync.
  • fixed: bootroms don't load if read only.
  • fixed: \"load rom dialog on startup\" not working.
  • fixed: \"game controller works only if focus\" not working.
  • fixed: setting borderless window, and switching to fullscreen, if using directdraw, the \"window\" can still move, and cause graphical glitches and crash.
  • fixed: GBC accurate initial WRAM values as left by bootrom (fixes the menu in baby felix - halloween).
  • fixed: a sprite on X = 0 uses more time in mode 3, too.
  • fixed: inconsistent timing if resetting in the debugger.

You can download BGB from either the official site or our BGB page.
