"description": "Nintendo is a consumer electric company based in Japan. While they are best known for there hit video gaming consoles such as the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and the Nintendo Wii. Nintendo’s roots date back to 1889 where it originally produced handmade playing cards.\nIt wasn’t till 1974 that Nintendo finally made a foray into Video Games and the home video console market. Their first venture was obtaining the redistribution rights for the Magnavox Odyssey video game console in Japan, it would be another three years before Nintendo would finally begin manufacturing their own hardware. There first attempt was the Colour TV-Game, while 6 versions were released they were all variations of the same game, Light Tennis.\nNintendo’s success in the games industry however did not come till the 1980 with the launch of their first handheld video game console, the Game & Watch. These only featured one specific game that was tied to the hardware unlike Nintendo’s future handhelds that implemented to swap in and out cartridges. The next 20 years would see Nintendo further entrench themselves as a company to watch out for in the games industry with loveable franchises and hugely successful consoles.\nOver the 20 years consumers would see the release of several consoles that are firmly entrenched as a part of gaming history. 1985 saw the release of the Famicon which was also known as the Nintendo Entertainment System(NES). The Famicon was released alongside ports of Nintendo’s arcade games. They also introduced the practice of bundling games helping make Super Mario Bros as one of the best selling video games of all time.\n1989 was the year for the Game Boy to take the stage. The handheld console was born from merging the idea of the Game & Watch with the NES’s ability to interchange cartridges.The Game Boy managed to kick start Nintendo’s dominance over the handheld console market, a dominance that has managed to last many years to come. The success was again partly thanks to Nintendo’s bundling strategies, with the Game Boy’s bundling of 3rd party game Tetris being an instant success.",

"description": "Sony Corporation is a company that focusses on professional electronics, gaming, entertainment, and even financial service. Even though Sony was founded back in 1946, the company wouldn’t break into the gaming world for another 49 years.\nDespite its late start in the gaming industry, Sony has continually proven itself to be a dominant force in the industry.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons ps1_icon align-middle\"></span> PlayStation 1</h2>\nOn the 3rd of December, 1994 in Japan, Sony made a move into the gaming market with the release of its very first gaming console, the PlayStation 1 (Commonly referred to as the PS1, PS, and PSX).\nThe PlayStation proved to be both a critical and commercial success and paved Sony’s way to becoming one of the most dominant forces in the gaming industry. Sony is regarded as the largest game console business and one of the largest game publishers in the world.\nThe original PlayStation saw the release of numerous critically acclaimed games, such as the release of Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, and much more.\nThis wealth of games helped Sony position themselves in the gaming market as a force to be reckoned with.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons ps2_icon align-middle\"></span> PlayStation 2</h2>\nWith the release of the PlayStation 2 in the year 2000, Sony successfully solidified its dominance in the gaming market with the PS2 selling over 155 million units during its lifespan.\nThe console was so successful that Sony kept its production running well into the life span of the PlayStation 3 with the production ending in 2013.\nThe PS2’s growth was helped by the continual release of high-quality games such as God Of War, Ratched & Clank, Kingdom Hearts, and many more.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons PS3_icon align-middle\"></span> PlayStation 3</h2>\nSix years later, Sony released the PlayStation 3 as its successor to the widely successful PS2. The PS3 had a slow start due to it releasing later than its competitors and sporting a higher price tag.\nHowever, the PS3 still rallied to be a commercially successful release, selling over 87 million units during its lifespan.\nThis success was spurred on by a release of substantial new exclusive hits such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, the Uncharted series, The Last of Us, and many more.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons ps4_icon align-middle\"></span> PlayStation 4</h2>\nSony’s current latest offering is the PlayStation 4. Released in late 2013, the PS4 has been a massive success for the company, selling over 100 million units.\nThe PS4 saw Sony regain its market dominance in the console industry, thanks in part to the lackluster release of the Nintendo Wii U and the marketing nightmare that was the original release of the Xbox One.\nSony continued its strong lineup of exclusive first-party and third-party games for the PS4.\nThe PS4 saw the release of many critically acclaimed games such as the new Spider-Man game, God of War, Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Detroit Become Human, Bloodborne, and many more.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\">PlayStation 5</h2>\nSony hopes to continue its dominance in the gaming market with the release of the PlayStation 5 in 2020.\nWhile few details are known about this upcoming console, one thing is for sure is that Sony will ensure it releases with a solid lineup of games.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons psp_icon align-middle\"></span> PlayStation Portable</h2>\nWhile Sony has proven dominant in the console market, they didn’t successfully manage to translate this to the handheld game market.\nWith Nintendo’s Nintendo DS series selling incredibly well, Sony tried to get in on the market with the release of its handheld game console called the PlayStation Portable or PSP.\nEven though the PSP still managed to sell over 80 million units, this was small in comparison to that of the Nintendo DS, which sold over 288 million units over its four different models.\nThe PlayStation Portables sales suffered partly due to its game library. While there were a few notable games, it didn’t get the same first-party support that Sony showed its home video game consoles.\nThis lack of first-party support hurt Sony when going up against the DS, which had a constant stream of strong first-party games.",

"description": "Sega or also known as <strong>Se</strong>rvice <strong>Ga</strong>mes is a Japanese video game publisher, developer and hardware company that has their headquarters located in Tokyo, Japan.\nFounded back in 1940 the company use to develop and distribute coin operated games, jukeboxes and slot machines. After a few years of growth they started importing these machines to American military bases within Japan.\nAs they continued to grow they went from being an importer to a manufacturer and started to release some more arcade games. In 1979 as arcade gaming was booming Sega’s revenues shot to over 100 million.\nIn 1982 Sega’s revenues passed the $214 million mark and released their first 3D game for the market. It was not long after this that there was a video gaming crash that sent Sega’s revenue back down to $136 million. Not long after this Sega was purchased for $38 million by a group of investors led by Rosen, Robert Deith and Hayao Nakayama.\nThroughout 1989 to 2001 Sega started their console campaign. These shared both successes and failures to the eventual pull out of the console market in 2001. During this time Nakayama stepped down as chairman and Isao Okawa took over.\nAs of 2002 Sega had have 5 years of net loses had started to struggle with the Okawa giving the company $700 million in a private donation before his death in 2001.\nThe company suffered many setbacks with deals and mergers all falling through as they tried to pick themselves back up. In 2003 Sammy had bought out the outstanding 22% amount of shares that CSK had left. This put the Sammy Chairman Hajime Satomi as the CEO of Sega. After this things started taking a turn with Sammy buying a controlling share of the company in 2004 at a cost of $1.1 billion.\nSega has since been able to turn a profit releasing many successful franchises such as Sonic for all the consoles. The company is now making about $513 million in profit and over 4.9 billion in revenue.",

"description": "Microsoft has been involved with the gaming industry for quite some time. Before their push to the game console market, Microsoft published several popular game series such as Age of Empires, Links, and Microsoft Flight Simulator.\nThey made a huge leap into the game console market on November 15th, 2001, with the release of the original Xbox.\nSince their original console, Microsoft has become a dominant force in the gaming industry. They have quickly grown to be one of the largest game publishers in the world.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons xbox_icon align-middle\"></span> Xbox</h2>\nWith the Xbox, Microsoft brought a lot of their expertise with computers to the console market.\nThe Xbox was the first game console to feature a built-in hard disk. This new feature allowed people to save game data directly to the console and not having to rely on separate memory disks.\nA year into its release Microsoft made another big move with the release of Xbox Live. Xbox Live serves as a way of connecting players together.\nThe Xbox saw the release of a few stellar hits. The most notable of these is both the Halo and Fable series.\nEven though the Xbox didn’t sell as well as its main competitor, the PlayStation 2, it proved Microsoft was taking the game console market seriously and still managed to beat Nintendo’s GameCube in unit sales.\nIn terms of emulation, the Xbox has proven to be incredibly difficult. This difficulty may be in part due to the complexity of the CPU and GPU featured in the hardware.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons xbox_360_icon align-middle\"></span> Xbox 360</h2>\nIn 2005, Microsoft released there second console, the Xbox 360.\nThe Xbox 360 featured Xbox Live as a core component of the console.\nThe console proved quite trying for Microsoft thanks to various hardware issues with the original hardware revision. The “<strong>red ring of death</strong>” became a common occurrence due to the console overheating from a poorly designed heatsink.\nWhile Microsoft offered to fix any console that was afflicted with the issue, it did severely damage their reputation in the console industry.\nDespite the issues that Microsoft faced with the Xbox 360, they still stuck by it and released several iterations to fix the problem.\nDuring the lifespan of the Xbox 360, Microsoft introduced a new piece of technology. This piece of technology was called “Kinect”. Kinect allowed people to interact with games using their bodies.\nThe Kinect ended up selling insanely well and proved to be a huge commercial success for the company. This success may have been partly to blame for the Xbox One’s failures.\nThere have been recent attempts to emulate the Xbox 360 that has proved fruitful, mainly by the <a href=\"https://emulationking.com/xenia/\">Xenia team</a>.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\"><span class=\"console_icons xbox_one_icon align-middle\"></span> Xbox One</h2>\nIn 2013 Microsoft released its third video game console, the Xbox One. The original vision of the Xbox One was for it to be an entertainment hub for everything. It would play media, games, tv and everything else.\nTrying to do so much with the console, however, just confused the companies overall message. Many people felt like Microsoft was abandoning the games market to focus on things like TV shows rather than making a great game.\nIn addition to this, the original release of the Xbox One came with the Kinect sensor. The Kinect was not an optional extra and was required to be plugged in regardless of whether you were using it or not. Not only was the Kinect forced, but it also severely hindered the Xbox Ones already lacking system specifications.\nThis series of blunders led to several leads leaving the games division. Microsoft eventually appointed a new president for the gaming division, Phil Spencer.\nPhil Spencer focused the Xbox division back to gaming and made several sweeping changes such as dropping Kinect.\nOne of the most impressive improvements brought to the Xbox One under Phil’s leadership was the backward compatibility. The Xbox One can play numerous Xbox and Xbox 360 games. Some games can even be played at higher resolutions than originally intended.\nThe fact that both the Xbox and Xbox 360 have barely been emulated on the PC shows how big of a feat that would have been to pull off, especially with zero performance degradation.\nSo far, there have been no solid attempts to emulate the Xbox One on the PC.\n<h2 class=\"border-bottom\">Xbox Series X</h2>\nThe next game console from Microsoft is set to be released in 2020 with the name “Xbox Series X”. This console will feature full-backward compatibility with the Xbox One as well as other currently unannounced features.\nWe will update this section when we find out more about the console.",

"description": "Atari (The Japanese verb “to hit the target”) founded back in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney was a pioneer in video game consoles, home computers and those classic arcade games.\nA few of Atari’s greatest achievements was Pong and the Atari 2600, these helped define the industry back throughout the 1970-1980s.\nIn 1983 Atari had a massive setback due to its role in the video game crash. This prompted the company to split where the arcade division was turned in Atari Games. The consumer electronics division was sold to Jack Termiel’s Tramel Technology which then renamed themselves to Atari Corporation.\nIn 1996 The Atari cooperation was reverse merged with the hard drive disk manufacture J Storage becoming a division within the company.\nLater in 1998 Hasbro bought out the entire of Atari Corporation from JTS and created a new subsidiary known as Atari Interactive.\n\nAfter Infogrames Entertainment (IESA) bought out Hasbro Interactive in 2001 they eventually settled on the name Atari Inc and is still known under that name today.",

"description": "The Nintendo Switch is a ninth generation video game console developed by Nintendo and is the successor to the Nintendo Wii U.\nThe Switch was released in 2017 to substantial praise thanks to its fantastic launch titles and its ability to switch from console mode to handheld. Launching with a critical hit like Breath of the Wild gave the Switch the popularity boost that the Wii U never quite achieved.\nNintendo followed up the release of the Switch with several other hits such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and Super Mario Oddysee. The console has also had fantastic support from 3rd party developers, with a slew of well-optimized ports of high-profile games such as Skyrim.\nThe Nintendo Switch has a couple of unique features. First is the ability for the Switch to be used as both a handheld console and a video game console. This works by using a simple dock that connects to your tv.\nOne thing to note is that when the Switch in handheld mode, its performance is slightly limited to try to preserve battery life. This means most games will have their resolutions reduced to 720p.\nThe other is the ability of the controllers to also act as motion controllers. However, this ability is not available on the “Lite” version of the Switch.\nThe Nintendo Switch Lite is a handheld only version of the console with non-detachable controllers. It can run any game that has compatibility for the Switches handheld mode.\nSwitch emulation has made an astonishing amount of progress in just a few short years thanks to the effort of the Yuzu Emulator team. The emulator is able to emulate a large amount of the Switch’s library already successfully.\nConsidering the time it took for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U to be successfully emulated, the progress in developing an emulator for the Nintendo Switch has been surprisingly fast.",

"description": "The Nintendo Wii U is an eighth-generation video game console and the successor to Nintendo’s insanely successfully Nintendo Wii. The console was released worldwide in 2012 but sadly lacked the massive amount of hype and excitement that its predecessor had created, this was not helped by a fairly lacking library of launch day games.\nThe Wii U was a primary competitor to Microsoft’s Xbox One, and Sony’s PlayStation 4, sadly though despite those consoles releasing nearly a year after the Wii U’s release, the Wii U just couldn’t make the same level of sales, its hard to say whether this was due to a poor library of games or poor marketing, the name Wii U may of created confusion with some consumers due to its similarities with the Wii name.\nWii U emulation seemed to be something that was never going to happen for a period of time. Over the years there have been a few attempts to emulate the Wii U successfully but most of those projects were short lived or ran into problems due to the sheer lack of documentation on the inner working on the Wii U.\nIt was not until October 2015 when there was a big breakthrough in emulation, and a massive surprise to the emulation community and that was with the first release of Cemu. Cemu was the first Nintendo Wii U Emulator that started showing real promise. Despite Cemu being closed source there is now another promising emulator that is making progress, namely the open source Decaf emulator project.\nThe biggest hindrance to the Wii U is down to its poor library of games, not only was Nintendo incredibly slow in bringing their own superb IP’s to the console, many 3rd party companies abandoned the console altogether leaving it with a void of games despite some superb surprises like Bayonetta 2.",

"description": "The Nintendo 3DS was developed by Nintendo as a successor to the original Nintendo DS. While the design is very much familiar the underlying hardware is completely different. It features a more powerful CPU and GPU allowing the device to handle more complex scenes and also the new 3D functionality of the top screen.\nEmulation of the Nintendo 3DS seemed to be something that was never going to end up happening, after several failed attempts and a seemingly lack of real interest from developers there was a sudden surprise release of 3DS Emulator, Citra. Citra came out of nowhere and proved that 3DS Emulation could be done, and as years have gone, shown that it can be done fast and successfully. There was two other attempts but both of those ceased development before showing the amount of progress Citra did, those 3DS emulators being Tron 3DS and 3dmoo. In a way its a good thing as development now appears to be solely focused around Citra, allowing it the best chance to fully emulate the 3DS.\nAs Nintendo has done with the vast majority of its devices. They have introduced a new different feature to the handheld market, and not one people would of expected. This feature is that the top screen acts as a 3D display. This display is designed in a way so the user does not require 3D glasses to see the 3D effect. Though this has some draw backs in its original iteration. That being that if the screen was not looked at directly and at the right angle the 3D effect wouldn’t work properly and make the screen appear blurry. However this is a problem that was solved with Nintendo’s latest 3Ds iteration marketed as “New Nintendo 3DS”.\nThe console has faced two different iterations of its design to date. The first of these being the Nintendo 2DS. This took away the consoles clam shell design and made it a more flat design. It also removed a key feature of the Nintendo 3DS and that is the 3D screen, despite this the actual hardware inside the console remains relatively the same. It is believed that this iteration was aimed at younger children due to a couple of reasons. The first is the lack of a hinge to be damaged, and the second being the lack of the 3D, as it was believed it could put strain on younger eyes.",

"description": "The Nintendo DS was Nintendo’s successor to the Game Boy Advance. It introduced two very stand out unique features to the handheld market. While the Nintendo DS did make use of the Game Boy Advance’s SP clamshell design, the way it utilized it much differently.\n\nThe biggest and most obvious of these unique features is the inclusion of two LCD screens that work in tandem, the bottom screen also acts as a touch device allowing interaction with the images on screen. Something, that at the time was quite unusual and different to the standardized single screen and buttons.\nAnother feature the Nintendo DS was the addition of a microphone, this was another different feature games could tap into to use to offer unique game play elements, such as blowing smoke off the screen.\n\nThe other most noticeable feature is its Wi-FI ability that allows it to connect to other Nintendo DS’s, it also had online play through the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection service. However sadly that service was shut down in 2014 making online useless for all games designed for the Nintendo DS. This forces people to the 3DS if they want to enjoy games with online abilities.\nThe Nintendo DS would end up seeing three separate reiterations of its look and hardware, this is not include the extra large screen versions that were also relate for the DSi version. The first iteration was the Nintendo DS Lite, this retained all the features of the original fat DS but however was a lot slimmer, and included better screens. There was also slight improvement to the hardware inside the console, however this was mainly battery saving changes then performance increases. The DS Lite also retains the backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games that the original Nintendo DS allowed.\nAfter the Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo introduced the DSi. This made a few more changes to the formula, adding a camera to the console, improved Wi-Fi and again better screens. Alongside this it also came with iterations that featured a much larger screen. The underling hardware was also improved which meant there were a few games that were made for the DSi specifically. However most developers chose to make sure the game worked on all three iterations, not utilizing the improvements. Despite all these improvements the Nintendo DSi removed the backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance games that the fat DS and DS Lite had.",

"description": "The Nintendo Gamecube marked Nintendo’s 5th entry into the home Video game console market. It was Nintendo’s first move into using optical media as its primary storage. However instead of using the standard full-sized disc’s, Nintendo chose to use miniDVD, excluding the console from being able to play standard DVD’s or audio CD’s due to the smaller size. This made it lack a feature its two competitors of the time, the Xbox and the Playstation 2, and that is simply to also be able to act as a DVD player. While a simple feature, it did add an extra element to a consumers decision on what console to buy, especially during a period where DVD players were costly.\nThe system had the ability to expand its hardware functionality via a port on the bottom of the console. This would only ever end up being used for the consoles Broardband Adapter which gave the console its network functionality, and also the Game Boy Player which allowed Game Boy games to be played on the TV with a GameCube controller.\nWhile the GameCube was praised for having an extensive library of high-quality games, the console failed to gain the sales that its main competitors did. At the end of its lifetime, the Game Cube managed to make 21.74 million sales, falling short by 3 million sales to Microsofts newcomer, the Xbox. However both fell painfully short of the Playstation 2’s 155 million sales.\nDespite the GameCube’s shortfall in sales, it still left a legacy thanks to its high quality games.",

"description": "The Game Boy Advance, often abbreviated to GBA is the successor to the Game Boy Color. The hand held console managed to hold on to Nintendo’s reign as being the top hand held console seller. This is in part due to the Game Boy Advance selling over 81.51 million units.\nMuch like its predecessor, the Game Boy Advance retained backwards compatibility support, this allowed the console to support both Game Boy Color and Game Boy games. This gave the Game Boy Advance a superb library of high quality and well made games right off the bat. Making it an easy choice for those who have yet to buy a hand held or are thinking of replacing their Game Boy Colour they can still retain their library of games.\nThe Game Boy Advance saw two redesigns, the first of these was the Game Boy Advance SP. This saw the console move to using the clamshell design that is now present in the Nintendo DS. It also introduced a backlight to the consoles design allowing it to be played much better under different lighting conditions and also allow the colours to appear more vibrant.\nThe second of these was the Game Boy Micro. This was essentially a much smaller version of the Game Boy Advance. It however also meant that it lacked a major feature of the Game Boy Advance. This being its backwards compatibility. It however still had some of the feature improvements that the SP introduced such as the backlight.\nThe Game Boy Advance truly set Nintendo as the company to beat in the handheld console market, and has managed to remain king of the market ever since.",

"description": "The Game Boy Color, often referred to as the GBC is Nintendo’s fourth attempt at the handheld game console market. Specification wise it did not differ much from its predecessor the Game Boy. However it introduced one big new feature and that was the ability to display the picture in colour, rather than the Gray scale present in its predecessor. Thanks to largely having the same hardware, this enabled the Game Boy Color to remain backwards compatible with older games.\nThis backwards compatibility was a huge advantage when coming up against its competitors as it allowed the handheld to inherit a large game library right off the bat and not rely completely on a couple of games to generate sales.\nThe Game Boy Color proved to be a huge success, going on to sell over 118.59 million units. A number that far exceeded its competitors of the time, the Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan.",

"description": "The Nintendo 64 (Often abbreviated to N64) is Nintendo’s third attempt at a video game console. It was the world’s true first 64-bit CPU console.\nThe N64 saw the release of many games that are touted as being some of the best of all time. These games range from much raved Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time to the game touted with revolutionizing the FPS genre GoldenEye 007.\nGraphically the Nintendo 64 was the more powerful of the 5th generation consoles, its boost in power was helped in that it came in at the end of the 5th generation of consoles.\nThe N64’s graphics chip was capable of trilinear filtering, among other more advanced 3D techniques. However, the true power of the N64 console was inhibited by the smaller storage size of the ROM cartridges.\nThe smaller size made developers have to reduce the number of textures used and use other methods such as Gouraud shading or extremely simple textures.\nEmulation wise the N64 is still to be perfected. While the vast majority of games are playable, there are still a few that are completely unplayable. Most problems with N64 emulation and its compatibility doesn’t come from its CPU but from its GPU.\nThe GPU uses methods that are rather complicated to successfully emulate on modern GPU’s, while a modern GPU is far more powerful we simply don’t have the same access to it as developers on the original N64 would have to its GPU.\nIt is also not helped that there is a lack of documentation on the way the GPU operates for specific games. One of the most significant of these being Star Wars Rogue Squadron.\nBest compatibility emulator wise is Project 64. It offers full and fast support for the vast majority of games, video plugin wise, Glide64 is the go-to for best emulation of the GPU side. However, it does sacrifice speed.",

"description": "The Nintendo Entertainment System (often abbreviated as NES) is an 8-bit video game console that was designed, developed and manufactured by Japanese company, Nintendo. The NES is strongly associated with the revitalization of the US video game industry after the crash of the industry in 1983.\nNintendo used the NES to bring to life some of what are they most popular game series to date, these being Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda and Metroid. It also so the birth of Capcom’s Mega Man franchise, Konami’s Castlevania franchise, Square’s(Now Square Enix) Final Fantasy franchise and Enix’s(Now Square Enix) Dragon Quest franchise. All of these franchises are still highly popular and still exist today.\nWhile Nintendo’s NES brought to life some of the greatest game franchises it also gave console manufactures a new outlook in their relationship with third-party software developers by restricting developers from publishing software without licensed approval from the manufacturer. This led to the consoles having much more high quality software titles, and in turn better public outlook on the console.\nWhile the console is no longer being manufactured, the console has been emulated to the point where almost all hardware functionality has been replicated on the computer, with some emulators such as Nestopia providing cycle accurate emulation of the original hardware, meaning what is shown on screen should be exactly what the original console would of produced.",

Both of these technologies were only released in 2020, meaning that they were cutting edge at the time of the release.\nWhere Sony has made their most significant changes is their new PS5 DualSense controller. On the outside, it features a more refined shape with better button placements.\nOn the inside of the controller is where the real magic occurs. Thanks to the introduction of new haptic technology, the rumble has way more fidelity.\nAdditionally, the triggers have been reworked so that they can have a feel of tension as you press them. Games can configure these triggers so that they have different reactions depending on the task. For example, when pulling back a bow, you can feel the tension increase as you pull the trigger.\nOut of all the changes introduced by the new hardware, the controller is what helps set the console apart from previous generations.\nAt this stage there is <strong>no currently successful emulation projects for the PlayStation 5</strong>. Be wary of any projects claiming that they can emulate any part of the PS5 as it is a relatively new piece of hardware.\nWe will update this page and provide links to emulators as projects manage to get off the ground.",

It failed to get near the same amount of sales as its competitor with the estimated final sales sitting at about 16 million units worldwide.\nAnalysts primarily point to this failure being of Sony’s own making. During the PS Vita’s lifetime, there were barely any games produced by Sony for the device. Additionally, due to Sony’s lack of support, there was never any real big push from 3rd party studios to support the device.\nThe PS Vita is a popular device for running emulated games, thanks to the broader community’s great work. People choose it as a suitable handheld emulation device thanks to its decent power, built-in support for PSP and PlayStation 1 games, and overall design.\nHowever, emulation of the PlayStation Vita has had slow progress, primarily due to programmers’ lack of interest.

Leading to the console having some of the greatest video games of all time, such as the excellent Metal Gear Solid IV, the Uncharted series, and The Last of Us, this is among a plethora of other highly successful and highly regarded games.\nHowever the delayed launch was not the only negative point to the PS3, while it included much more powerful GPU and CPU then its two competitors, there was a significant flaw with the hardware. That being it was incredibly hard to program for with Sony choosing to make use of the powerful but complex Cell processors. This made it difficult for companies to develop for the console especially near the start of the generation as most companies didn’t have the chance to work out the best way to utilize the processor.\nThis cell processor is also what makes emulating the PS3 extremely difficult, many people thought it would make emulation of the PS3 unachievable. However these doubts were put to rest when PS3 Emulator RPCS3 was released by DH & Hykem, it proved that emulation of the complicated Cell architecture could be achieved. This was an extremely remarkable and impressive achievement. Over 5 years on from its initial release, RPCS3 is now even managing to emulate actual commercial games and get in game, and even be playable at some decent speeds.",

Going up against the Nintendo DS, the PlayStation portable was a commercial failure, despite being a console that was quite well regarded and had a fantastic brand name thanks to the sheer success of the PlayStation 2.\n\nThe PSP went on to sell over 80 million copies over its 10 year life span, a number that was poultry in comparison to Nintendo’s 152 million sold units for the Nintendo DS.\nPSP emulation started off not long after the consoles initial release in 2004. The first to try and tackle it was the PSP Emulator, PSPE. While PSPE could never actually emulate a commercial PSP game, it did prove that PSP emulation could be done. This was followed by numerous other emulators. The most modern PSP Emulator is PPSSPP, which has proven itself to be able to emulate basically all PSP games faithfully while offering numerous extra features so the games can be rendered in HD. PSP Emulation is regarded as now being fairly complete, large in thanks to the efforts of the PPSSPP team.\nThe PSP sported high end hardware for its time, boasting a more powerful processor and GPU then its competitor the Nintendo DS. It also featured an assortment of different features such as a tv tuner, media player and various other multimedia capabilities. The device was also meant to sport the capability to be able to connect directly the the PlayStation 3 as well.\nThe PSP had a weird way of storing its games, unlike Nintendo’s hand-held consoles and the various others who tried to beat Nintendo over the years, Sony chose to make use of a optical disc format, bucking the trend of using cartridges for games. The format that ultimately went with with was the Universal Media Disc (UMD).",

The PS2 went on to be the biggest selling console of all time, selling an incredible 155 million units throughout its extended lifetime from the year to 2000 right up to 2013.\nThe PlayStation 2 went up against some of the stiffest competition in gaming history, as well as having to go up against surprise entry from software giant Microsoft. It competed against Sega’s final console entry, the SEGA Dreamcast, Nintendo’s GameCube and Microsoft Xbox.\nA key feature to the PlayStation 2 was its ability to be fully backward compatible with the PlayStation 1 (PSX) games. This means a user who chose to buy the new console did not have to ditch there whole games library or retain the older console. This was in stark contrast to Sony’s competitors at the time, as a new console often meant all your games were rendered useless. The PS2 also managed to retain support for the previous generations’ Dualshock controllers.\nEmulation of the PS2 has been somewhat successful, largely in thanks to the PCSX2 emulation project. PCSX2 was originally started by the development team, who made the PlayStation 1 (PSX) Emulator, PCSX.\nPCSX2 proved that the emulation of the PS2 could be achieved. While it has taken a few years, the emulation of the PS2 has matured exceptionally well. Almost every single game now being playable and enough knowledge of the PS2 is now known to be able to emulate it while achieving great speed accurately.",

"description": "The PlayStation, which is sometimes refereed to as the PS, PS1 and PSX was Son’y first real foray into the video game console market. Releasing in 1994 in Japan and then 1995 in North America and the rest of the world, the PlayStation went on to become the biggest selling console of the fifth generation of video game consoles, and the first ever video game console to sell over 100 million units. It was the PlayStations and Sony’s jump start into becoming one of the most formidable opponents in the gaming world.\nThe PlayStation’s biggest competitors during the fifth generation of video game consoles was the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn. Despite going up against incredibly stiff competition with video game giants Nintendo and Sega dominating the market, the PlayStation managed to overcome both of them, overtaking that of the Nintendo 64 and leaving the Sega Saturn in distant third place. One of the biggest advantages of the PlayStation was that it relied on discs, though cartridges were an awful lot faster and didn’t suffer as many durability issues, they just didn’t have the same storage space that a CD could provide. CD’s were an awful lot cheaper to produce, something that appealed heavily to publishers as there wasn’t as significant of a risk to produce large quantities of a game.\nPlayStation (PSX) emulation is fairly complete, with the vast majority of games able to run flawlessly with no major issues, the focus of most PSX emulators have now turned to focus on increasing the accuracy and speed of their emulation over trying to increase compatibility. This is alongside increasing features such as being able to successfully render PSX games at higher internal resolutions. There is several great PlayStation emulators, though most are plugin based, ePXSE, PCSX-R are both highly capable emulators.",

The outcome of this decision was a console that was designed to be much more intelligent with subsystems working in parallel.\nThe console was originally very successful as the U.S launch was highly backed by a large marketing campaign but interest in the console rapidly declined once Sony started to build the hype for their upcoming console.\nThere were many factors to why Sega exited the console market but the Dreamcast was one of the leading issues with failing to meet sales expectations and the rise in tough competition such as the Playstation 2, Xbox and Nintendo’s latest console.\nEven though it had such as short lifespan and very limited support the console was still praised as being ahead of its time.\nThere were some pretty awesome games that were released for the Sega Dreamcast just to name a few Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and as well of some great high quality ports from the Naomi arcade system board.",

It was released on November 22, 1994 in Japan, May 11 1995 in North American and July 8, 1995 in Europe. It is the successor the successful Sega Genesis.\nThe North American launch was a surprise launch that caught many of the retailers by surprise as only a few retailers had been told about this. As a result few retailers refused to stock any of Sega’s products. The console boasted a dual-CPU setup with a total of eight processors. The games also were in a CD-ROM format.\nThe Saturn’s game library consisted mostly of the Arcade ports that included games such as Daytona USA, Last Bronx, Die Hard Arcade and many more. In 1998 surprisingly the system had more games than its competitor the Nintendo 64. The Saturn faced many problems in the American marketplace after selling well in Japan. The console was released 4 months prior and faced very shaky sales and to top it off the release of the Nintendo 64 in 1996 basically was the final nail in the coffin, with the SEGA Saturn being discontinued in 1998. The Sega Saturn sold a total of only 9.5 million units worldwide and was considered a commercial failure.\nAs there was a decline in the industry the failure of the Sega Saturn put a lot of financial strain onto the company. This caused departures within the company and for the discontinuation of the system leaving the Western Market without any Sega games for over a year.",

The games came in form of a ROM based cartridge. The console featured games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Disney’s Aladdin, Mortal Kombat and many more classics that we know and love.\nThere were a number of peripherals released for the consoles such as a light gun, a mouse, a foam covered bat and many more extra items to add extra functionality to the console. At the end of 1994 when the newer 32bit bit consoles were released the console became obsolete very fast. By the time the Sega Genesis was discontinued it had sold an estimated 40 million units.\nThe Sega Genesis still maintains a strong fan base with people collecting the old consoles and games.

(Only 256 Kbit)\nThe system had superior hardware when it was compared to NES containing twice as much memory. The CPU also ran at a much faster pace but this wasn’t enough to stop the NES and its strong franchise lines from outdoing them in sales.There was a few accessories developed for the system such as 3D glasses and a light gun both being designed to work with a range of specially developed games.\nThe console faced strong competition from Nintendo with the Sega Master System only selling about 10-13 million units over its life time which is far less than the NES that sold over 62 million.\n\nThe game library was criticised of being too small and needed to be more substantial. The Master System did feature the Sega’s flagship character at the time (The Alex Kidd franchise). Other games such as Street Fighter II and Dynamite Headdy were also released for the system.",

"description": "The Xbox Series S/X made up a part of Microsoft’s ninth generation of video game consoles and was released at the end of 2020. These consoles are the successor to the Xbox One and represent the companies fourth attempt at building its own video game console.\nLike the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series console sported some of the latest processing technologies from AMD. These processing technologies are AMD’s Zen 2 CPU architecture and their RDNA 2 GPU architecture.\nThe use of these architectures allows the Xbox’s processor to match that of what was a relatively high-end computer at the time of release.\nValue-wise this put the Xbox Series console in an excellent position. They boasted pretty high-end CPU and GPU performance at a fraction of what it would cost to build a PC of the same capabilities.\nWhen marketing their latest Xbox consoles Microsoft focused a lot on their backward compatibility capabilities.\nThe Xbox Series consoles are fully backward compatible with the Xbox One. They even support a large number of games from the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox.\nOn the hardware side, the Xbox Series consoles set out to achieve a few things. The first was to improve the storage speed of the device significantly. Game consoles for years have relied on slow hard drives. The Xbox Series made the jump to an NVMe drive. These drives are incredibly fast, allowing the console to load data almost instantly.\nThese gave rise to features such as Xbox’s Quick Resume. This feature stored the game’s current game state on the NVMe drive to quickly load back into memory.\nAs the Xbox Series consoles are relatively new, there have been no successful attempts at emulating the video game console. Be careful if you see any website claiming they have a fully working Xbox Series emulator.\nWe will update this page once there is progress on developing an emulator of the Xbox Series.",

"description": "The Xbox One was Microsoft’s entry into the eighth generation of Video Game Consoles. It perhaps had one of the most botched console releases of all time. This is can be attributed to a very poor marketing effort that left consumers confused.\nThe announcement conference of the Xbox One featured a large segment dedicated to non gaming features, and then the time that was left focused on policies that were never explained properly. Such as the apparent “always-online” feature, and the original policy of being unable to trade in games, replacing the normal console system with a system much like the extremely popular PC Gaming platform, Steam.\nThe next few weeks after the Xbox One’s announcement there was a few attempts to try and clarify there policies but those attempts just ended up throwing fuel on the fire and confusing the consumers even further. Eventually the two key policies of the console ended up being rolled back for the more traditional style. But it ended up with two high level Microsoft employees having to stand down, the most notable of these being the head of Xbox, Don Mattrick. Ultimately the Xbox One never recovered from the disaster that it was the announcement, Sony utilized the mess up to promote there console and appear to be the good guys helping them gain a majority early on in the consoles life.\nEmulation of the Xbox One is nothing but a pipe dream at this moment, there is no current effort to try and emulate the console, and there does not currently appear to be any real interest in a Xbox One emulator. Please note if you do find any supposed Xbox One emulators on the internet, steer clear of them as they are more then likely loaded with adware.\nIt is currently to difficult to find out how well the Xbox One is doing as Microsoft chose to cease disclosing the Xbox One Sold unit numbers.\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row_fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_2 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2>Xbox One Emulators</h2>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\nThere is currently <strong>no</strong> Xbox One emulator in development, or any Xbox One emulator released at all.\n\nPlease note that if you find any on the internet at this time, it is likely a <strong>fake, </strong>even more so if it claims to actually be able to one any games fully.\nPlease steer clear of any Xbox One Emulators.

The Xbox 360 managed to sell over 84 million units, an impressive feat despite suffering some serious setbacks. Initial versions of the Xbox 360 suffered from a severe hardware failure, often refereed to as the “Red Ring of Death”. This was caused by a poor heat sink and bracket that would over time cause the processor to bend and be lifted from the main board.\nEmulation of the Xbox 360 seemed like a very far fetched idea up considering the sheer difficulty developers had trying to emulate the original Xbox. There is one incredibly promising Xbox 360 emulator that has surfaced, and that is the surprising Xenia. it has already managed to get in game in a variety of different games and is already showing great promise that it will manage to successfully emulate the system.\nThe Xbox 360 was an impressive showing from Microsoft, boasting a much improved online service, something that ended up becoming a core pillar of the device thanks to its sheer success in the previous generation of consoles. The Xbox 360 also boasted a rather robust set of media center abilities, however unlike the PlayStation 3, Microsoft made the decision to only include a DVD drive. While Microsoft eventually brought out an addon that implemented the HD DVD, it ended up a failed effort as the HD DVD ultimately failed after Blu-ray gained significant support.\nUltimately the Xbox 360 was a very successful video game console, while not the top selling seventh generation video game console, it did bring with it some of the most memorable games of the generation. One of the most notable game series of those is the Gears of War series, which has now become a pillar of Xbox gaming alongside the fantastic open world racing game, Forza Horizon and the stellar Forza Motorsport series.",

It came in the sixth generation of video game consoles, going up against the Nintendo GameCube, the SEGA Dreamcast and the Sony PS2.\nThe Xbox was different to all of the consoles of its time, Instead of utilizing highly customized pieces of hardware like the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 did, the Xbox instead used hardware that was much more familiar to them. That being they utilized a PC style system and architecture for there console, bringing in the in-built hard drive to store save games directly to the console, removing the need to purchase memory cards.\nEmulation of the Xbox so far has not managed to get very far, despite a couple of attempts emulation has basically never gotten past managing to get in-game in a couple of games. Performance is not to great in the emulators either. The difficulty of Xbox Emulation is likely due to how much in common it has with the PC Architecture and the sheer lack of any real documentation on how everything works. There is currently only one real Xbox emulator project that is making ground, and that is the XQEMU project.\nIt also brought with it an Ethernet port, and was the first video game console to bring together a proper online gaming community with there console thanks to the introduction of Xbox Live. Xbox Live didn’t just let you play games with other people, it also let you add friends to a buddy list and interact with them. Xbox’s network prowess was helped by there better and more reliable services coupled alongside the fantastic online gameplay of Halo 2.\nUltimately the Xbox fared extremely well for there first video game console, coming distant second to the PlayStation 2. Ending with over 24 million units sold, it proved more popular then Nintendo’s GameCube and eclipsed that of the SEGA Dreamcast.",

It is widely recognised as the world’s first electronic game that has a colour LCD screen/\nThis handheld device has many several innovative features for its time such as the colour screen, a backlit display, and switchable right/left handed configuration and also the ability to network with up to 17 other unites.\nWhile the Atari Lynx started off as successful this eventually started to slow down as more competition came onto the market. Lifetime sales of the Lynx totalled out to be about 7 million units when combined with the game gear. The Gameboy had sold 16 million units by the same time.\nThe handheld console received good praise by the critics at the time with one critic claiming that it “throws the Gameboy into the prehistoric age” citing the built-in object scaling capabilities and the strong multiplayer system gave it a huge advantage over the Gameboy.",

"description": "The Atari 7800 or also known as the Atari 7800 ProSystem is a console that was released by Atari back in January 1986.\nIt is often seen that the release in 1986 is considered a re-release because it had originally been announced on 21, May 1984 to replace the aging Atari 5200 but was shelved due to the sale of the company producing it (GCC).\nDue to this delay it gave the NES time to build up and was dominating the market by the time 7800 was released into the market making it a very hard sell.\nThere were 13 games announced for the consoles launch this included some hits such as Centipede, Dig Dug and Ms. Pac-man. Also due to the strong feedback Atari received regarding not being able to play previous games on the 5200 they made sure this console was able to play almost all the games from the 2600.\nAlso as growing concerns from the community that a home PC was a better investment than a console the system was designed to be fully fledged home computer. You were able to plug in a keyboard and other peripherals such as disk drives and printers.\nThe console even though didn’t do nearly as well as the NES, but was still profitable for Atari, with it managing to sell over 3.8 million units worldwide. On January 1<sup>st</sup> 1992 Atari announced that the production of the Atari 7800 will end only being able to capture 12% while its rival Nintendo controlled 80%",

The console was based on Atari’s already existing 400/800 computer systems with the software being customized for the console.\nThe console did not do very well in the market when compared to its predecessor, the Atari 2600. There were many factors that contributed to this outcome such as initially not being able to play any of the games from the 2600. The Atari 5200 was discontinued only 2 years after being on market with a total of only 1 million units sold.\nIt wasn’t all bad news they did bring a revolutionary new controller with an analogue joy stick to market. As well as the first automatic TV switchbox that allows it to automatically switch from regular TV viewing to a game system signal. They also had 4 ports for controllers where almost every other device on the market at the time only had 2.",

The Atari 2600 wasn’t always under that name it was also sold as the Atari VCS butt was later renamed.\n\nThe console was released with nine games this included some classics such as Outlaw, Space War and Breakout. Throughout the consoles lifetime many games were developed for it by Atari. The game also had many hits such as pong, Pacman and many others that are still well known today.\nThe Atari 2600 came typically was bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers and a cartridge game that was firstly Combat and then later was changed to Pacman.\n\nThe console due its large game library and a low price continued to sell well into the late 1980s and wasn’t discontinued until 1992.\n\nThe console has sold over 30 million units with the bestselling game for the console being Pacman sitting at 7 million copies.\nThere is still a strong demand for the Atari 2600 but not easily accessible so many people have moved to emulators to be able to relive their childhood growing up with this fantastic console.",

"description": "Yuzu is a popular open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch and is the first to manage to emulate the video game console successfully. This Switch emulator is primarily written by the same team that created the popular 3DS Emulator, Citra.\nWhile still a relatively new emulator, Yuzu has managed to already successfully emulate numerous elements of the Nintendo Switch at speed comparable to the original hardware.\nThe team has even emulated the BCAT Switch service that is used to add content to games dynamically. Using the emulated service, the Yuzu team can replicate and create their own in-game events.\nAn example of the things this enables is giving you extra items when starting the game in Breath of the Wild or more ability chunks in Splatoon 2.\nIn addition to this, the emulator can even render Switch games at higher resolutions than the original hardware intended, meaning you can play games at resolutions higher than 1080p.\nWhile Yuzu can not currently run most commercial games, the team is making a tremendous amount of progress every day. The Yuzu team provides a list of all Switch games and how well they work with the emulator. You can view this list by checking out the compatibility list.\nRecent versions of Yuzu have added support for Vulkan. Vulkan allows faster rendering thanks to less CPU overhead and also giving a speed boost to those using AMD GPUs.\nYuzu has builds available for Windows and Linux. Builds for macOS are no longer available due to Apple removing OpenGL support from macOS in favor of their own graphics API.\nIf you want to check out the development process of this Switch emulator, you can check out the official Yuzu GitHub repository. The repository also contains steps on how you can compile this Switch emulator on your system.\nBelow you will find download links for Yuzu for both the Windows and Linux operating systems.",

While there had been a couple of attempts prior to the release of Cemu to emulate the Wii U, none had managed to boot up a Wii U game or get near being able to get in game.\nCemu had popped seemingly out of nowhere, with version 1.0.0.0 being released in October 2015. Before this emulation of the Wii U was seemingly out of reach but Cemu proved that it could be done when it could successfully boot titles to the loading screens.\nShortly after the first release, games started being able to get in game with varying degrees of speed and graphical issues. As of the latest version, many games are in fact now playable. Games such as Super Mario World and Mario Kart 8 can now be played through from start to finish with little to no issue and startlingly accurate graphics, though there will be issues here and there.\nCemu has come an extremely long way in an incredibly short time, in little over a year it has gone from just being able to boot games to being able to successfully emulate a few games completely at high speeds. It is definitely an emulator to keep an eye on as so far it has been extremely promising.",

It is the open source alternative to the excellent proprietary Wii U emulator, CEMU.\nWhile Decaf doesn’t emulate the Wii U as good as CEMU at the moment, it is an extremely promising start and is already making big strides to catch up to CEMU in emulation capabilities.\nInitially, Decaf emulator was a Windows 10 only Wii U emulator, and this was due to its initial use of DirectX 12. However, the primary developer of Decaf, Exjam, made the decision to drop DirectX 12 in favor of OpenGL 4.5. This change allows Decaf emulator to be multi-platform.\nDecaf is already able to run some commercial Wii U games, so it’s great if you’re looking to play Wii u games. However, at this moment, you are likely to run into an assortment of graphical issues and severe bugs. Decaf is very much in the experimental stage, but Decaf has made quick progress in just a few short months.",

"description": "TronDS is a Nintendo 3DS Emulator for Windows that has now ended in development. TronDS was one of three promising 3DS Emulators that all started up around the same time, each making significant inroads into 3DS emulation. Tron3DS made the least inroads into being able to run commercial games out of the 3, but it was good at emulating homebrew.\nTronDS did manage to achieve a certain level of emulation, with an ARM9/ARM11 interpreter for the Nintendo 3DS appcore, the core that is dedicated to running user applications. HLE support of the base 3DS operating system to help support userland applications. Basic framebuffer rendering and also featured a ARM11 debugger.\nTronDS appears to have now completely ceased development, with the majority of developers and users now focusing on the effortos of the Nintendo 3DS Emulator Citra.",

"description": "Dolphin Emulator is a GameCube emulator and Nintendo Wii emulator that started off its routes as just being a pure GameCube emulator. However once the release of the Nintendo Wii came round, the team realized that the hardware was so similar that increasing Dolphin’s support to also cover the Nintendo Wii was not a huge technical challenge. They found that it did not require significant rewrites of Dolphin Emulator to be able to also be a Wii Emulator.\nDolphin Emulator made its mark by being the first GameCube emulator that was actually able to successfully emulate a commercially released game. However despite achieving this, Dolphin was nearly gone completely when it was discontinued in 2004. Luckily a year later in 2005, the developers revived the Dolphin Emulator project adding minor improvements and beginning the first basic audio support.\nThen in 2008 is when Dolphin Emulator really started making its breakthroughs after being moved into the public domain and being open sourced. Leading to its development as the best emulator for both the GameCube and the Wii. Dolphin emulator now successfully emulates almost every single game available on both systems. Its development has seemed to of never slowed down as the now large amount of developers have managed to successfully emulate even some of the most complicated functions of the GameCube and Wii.\nThanks to its large pool of developers, Dolphin Emulator is the best GameCube emulator about, and the best and only Nintendo Wii emulator. However expect with some games, to emulate them perfectly you will require a computer with decent hardware, as some functions are quite resource intensive to emulate.",

DeSmuMe was the first NDS emulator that was capable of successfully running several NDS roms.\nThanks to DeSmuME’s OpenGL render and dynamic recompiler it is one of the best performing emulators for the DS that you can find.\nDeSmuME came about after several developers who had forked YopYop156’s code decided to unite together which ended up with the release of DeSmuME 0.5.0. The merging of resources has allowed DeSmuME to become one of the best NDS emulators around, its only real competitor being NO$GBA.\nDevelopment has slowed down significantly, as work has been done to port DeSmuME to other systems such as Mac OS X, with a lot of development time being spent on the Coaca port. However there still is a significant amount of changes to the core system that has been fixing issues in a variety of games.\nDeSmuME was originally capable of connecting to the Nintendo DS’s WiFI service, but that functionality was eventually terminated after Nintendo detected the connections, users have lobbied for the WiFi functionality to be introduced back into DeSmuME but Nintendo eventually shut down the online play of NDS Games completely rendering the effort pointless.",

To achieve decent graphical speed iDeaS Emulator makes use of an OpenGL renderer. iDeaS had successfully managed to emulate the ARM7 CPU completely, which also gives it the ability to emulate GBA games.\nThe iDeaS team had also managed to make significant inroads on emulating the ARM9 Dual Screen processor with estimated completion of the emulation of the processor being at about 99%. This allows it to successfully run many commercial games such as Super Mario 64 DS and Pokemon Black and White. However while these games should all run fine, the GPU emulation was never fully completed as development ended.\niDeaS comes with a plugin system as well, this is something that is not found in any other Nintendo DS emulator, allowing developers to add extra support into the emulator without needing access to the core code.

"description": "Dolwin is the first ever GameCube emulator to be publicly released. it is open source and written in C. However sadly development stalled in 2005 and not a single new release has been seen since. This could be partly due to the success of the Game Cube and Wii emulator, Dolphin.\nBefore development ceasing, the emulator did manage to boot and even run some commercial games and a few demos. However for the most part the emulator is fairly incomplete and should not be expected to run any games perfectly or even be able to boot them.\nIf you are are after the best emulator for the GameCube, see Dolphin.",

The new intent was to continue work on the code and introduce the ability to run natively on x64 systems and also run on other platforms such as Linux.\nWhile development seemed to start progressing well again, development seems to of ceased yet again in 2013. With no signs of development coming from the team.\nThe team before development ended again had managed to write a new video core that was capable of getting games running in interpreter to run nearly full speed. The new Video Core also introduced dual-core support to the video emulation. However like many other emulation project’s for the GameCube, the Gekko couldn’t seem to catch up to the development of Dolphin.",

It has the added ability of also using cycle-accurate emulation.\nHigan touts the ability to run every commercially SNES title that has been released without any bugs that were not originally in the game itself.\nThe higan emulator has grown to now experimentally emulate the NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and the Game Boy Advance. This wide range of consoles makes it one of the more versatile emulators around. However, the emulation outside of the SNES still needs more work to get to the same accuracy and capabilities.\nThe emulator also offers support for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Available from Debian packages).",

"description": "GBE + is a GBA Emulator and GBC emulator written by Shonumi. It is the continuation of his original GBA Emulator, GB Enhanced. The goal of the project is to create an emulator written in C++ utilizing the SDL library that proves to be highly portable while sporting functionality that is not traditionally found in GBA and GBC emulators. The plan is to attempt to document the GBC’s and GBA’s functions through clean easy to understand code while still allowing an assortment of enhancements.\nWhile the GBA Emulation is still rather experimental it should be able to run most games with a varying amount of playability or visible glitches. The GBC side of the emulation however is much more complete and is considered more ready for prime time use.\n\nA feature that is a big star of the GBE+ project and is something new to the GBA and GBC emulation scene is the ability to use custom graphics.\nThis custom graphics is the ability for GBE + to dump or extract sprites and backgrounds directly out of the game, let the user then edit them, and then have the ability to re-inject those sprites and backgrounds directly back into the game dynamically. This feature is a big plus for the emulator as it allows users to modify the look and feel of a game without needing to utilize rom hacking. Anything that you can see in a game can be edited, with a few exceptions. However this does mean you can bring colour into what used to be a monochrome game.\nGBE+ is still very much a work in progress emulator, but is proving to be incredibly promising, introducing features into the GBA and GBC emulation scene that have been sadly lacking. With any like Shonumi will continue work on this emulator as so far the project is showing an incredible amount of promise.",

If your after a stable and fast GBA emulator your better off looking at newer emulators such as mGBA or Visual Boy Advance.",

It was originally somewhat promising, being able to successfully run several different games such as Castlevania and Tactics Ogre. This was alongside also being able to successfully emulate there sound, a bit of a feat at the time of DreamGBA’s creation.\nHowever though, as said earlier, DreamGBA suffered from a rather large issue, and this is that it required the GBA Bios to be able to run It is a feature that ended up damaging DreamGBA’s prospects in the long run as obtaining the GBA bios from a console back then was not a simple task.\nEven now most legal sites won’t distribute the GBA bios as it is copyrighted material by Nintendo, however a quick google search will quickly find you the GBA bios. However there are now much better emulators available, all that don’t require the usage of the GBA bios.",

"shortDesc": "1964 Emulator has now ceased active development, but was at one point regarded as one of the best Nintendo 64 Emulators around, making use of an extremely fast recompiler core that gave it an edge in performance.",
"description": "1964 is a Nintendo 64 emulator written primarily in C for Microsoft Windows by Schibo and Rice, and is one of the oldest emulators and one of the most popular emulators second to only Project 64. It support the vast majority of commercially available N64 games. 1964 had the advantage of having full support for net-play using the now defunct Kaillera networking library.\nThough 1964’s netplay suffers from a lot of desync problems due to the way the games tend to be emulated at different rates to each other. 1964 is also the only currently available emulator that uses a dynamically recompiling CPU emulator, allowing for much faster speeds then the default interpreter and non dynamic recompiling core like that is present in Project 64.\nAs of June 7, 2009, official development of 1964 ended with their release of version 1.1, that fixed certain bugs that were left hanging over from the development. However in recent years some developers have tried modding the released source code to help improve game play, like modifications to the frequency at which emulated N64 core is processed to increase FPS in certain games like Goldeneye 64 to its originally intended max rate of 60fps, and also allowing it decreased for games that normally run at a lower rate already like Mario Kart 64.",

ZSNES was one of the first emulators to offer support for the advanced features of the SNES. Recent versions of the emulator have heavily improved its accuracy while trying not to sacrifice its speed.\nThe emulator is a perfect replacement of bsnes (higan) if your computer is unable to handle the accuracy that higan uses at the sacrifice of speed. Despite the original Snes9x team abandoning the project, a new team has come together to continue work on it.\nHowever work has not progressed hugely. Despite this it remains one of the best emulators for the SNES, with a very high compatibility rate and extra enhancement features. Of course it doesn’t emulate games as accurately as an emulator like higan would, however it doesn’t have the associated higher-end hardware requirements.",

The NES Emulator also features support for cycle-accurate timing.\nIn Version 4.0, the developer decided to introduce additional support to the emulator, adding in support for the SEGA Master System.

"shortDesc": "RCPS3 is the premiere PS3 emulator. It has managed to make considerable strides in emulating the complicated PS3 architecture and can now run several games without any significant hitches.",
"description": "RPCS3 is one of the most surprising emulators of all, in that it is a PS3 Emulator. Many originally thought that PS3 Emulation would be completely impossible due to the highly complicated nature of the PS3’s architecture and its highly complicated Cell Processor that was difficult to develop for let alone developing.\nBut the RPCS3 team managed to pull off the impossible, proving that emulation of the PS3’s complicated architecture could actually be done successfully. Originally developed by programmers DH and Hykem back in 2011, they managed to show that making a PS3 emulator could be done by emulating simple homebrew.\n3 years later, and the PS3 emulator started showing success in being able to emulate actual commercial PS3 games with numerous games now able be playable in some form. However emulation is currently quite slow, as is to be expected with such a complicated project. As long as development continues of this project though, and more developers come on board theres a massive chance full emulation of the PS3 could be achieved now that the ground work has been laid.\n<strong>Note: </strong>We currently do not have access to Mac OS X builds of this emulator.",

It boasts an impressive multi platform lineup, being able to be run an assortment of systems such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and even more obscure systems like Blackberry.\nThe original author, Henrik Rydgård, planned the emulator to be not only extremely fast, but also very highly portable, and he managed to pull that off incredibly successfully. For those who don’t know Henrik Rydgård was one of the co-founders of the superb Dolphin Emulator.\nIn just 3 years PPSSPP managed to become the best PSP emulator around, boasting a high compatibility rate while still being able to render the games faithfully and fast.\nThe developers even managed to end up adding support for Sony’s Proprietary audio codec, ATRAC3plus. Along with this there is a variety of different enhancements you can use to make the PSP games look much nicer at higher resolutions, including being able to increase the internal rendering resolution that the PSP would of rendered at, rather then just stretching the image to the screen size.\n<strong>Note</strong>: Linux and Mac OS X builds rely on SDL, instructions are below on how to install the correct version of SDL for PPSPP to run on those systems.\n<h2 class=\"h5\">Linux PPSSPP Instructions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Open a Terminal instance</li>\n<li><b>For Debian/Ubuntu and their derivatives:</b> Install the “libsdl2-dev” package.</li>\n<li><b>For Fedora/RHEL and their derivatives:</b> Install the “SDL2-devel” package.</li>\n<li><b>For BSD-based distros:</b> Install the “sdl2” package.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"h5\">Mac OS X Instructions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the Terminal app.</li>\n<li>Paste this into a Terminal:\n <code class=\"small\">ruby -e \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)\"</code></li>\n<li>Follow the instructions, and wait for installation to finish.</li>\n<li>Paste this into a Terminal: <code>brew install sdl2</code></li>\n</ul>",

"shortDesc": "JPCSP is another great PSP emulator. Despite being written in Java the emulator still manages to run numerous games at 100% speed.",
"description": "JPCSP is one of the most advanced PSP Emulators available. JCPSP has shown an incredible amount of progress and impressive speed despite being built in a slower language then most other emulators. There is one big advantage to using Java for an emulator, and that is that the code tends to be multiplatform friendly from the get go, meaning you don’t have to waste a lot of development time tweaking code to work on specific platforms.\nDespite JPCSP being written mainly in java, it manages to achieve 100% emulation speed in some commercial games, this is quite an impressive feat for any PSP Emulators. It achieves this by taking the full advantage of dual-core CPU’s, allowing it to match the same dual-core architecture that is featured in the PSP itself. The more cores you have should also improve emulation even more, as it allows the free cores to work just on Java’s JIT compiler and the graphics cache.\nDespite this project still just being a beta, it already offers compatibility for over 600 games. While not as vast as PPSSPP’s 919 odd games that are marked as playable, it is still impressive none the less.\nThanks to continued active development, JPCSP has taken the place as probably the second best PSP emulator, and challenges PPSSPP extremely well.",

It manages to emulate the PS2 extremely well, being both fast, accurate and highly compatible. Boasting that over 94.94% of the PS2’s massive 2568 games are playable.\nThis is an amazing progress for any emulator, let alone one that tries to tackle one of the more complicated systems in the 6th generation of video game consoles. PCSX2’s success is in part thanks to it being the only real actively developed PS2 Emulator. Focused development, and over 14 years of active development time has allowed the emulator to mature extremely well. The team over the years has tackled a variety of different complicated issues with emulating the PS2. The early versions of PCSX2 focused on just getting into the PS2 loading screen and being able to actually emulate the complicated PlayStation 2 bios,\nRecent versions have begun focusing on trying to bring highly accurate emulation without sacrificing the speed of the emulator, this is alongside trying to fix a lot of the edge cases that have cropped up while trying to emulate some games. While emulation might work perfectly for one, some games use certain tricks that require special coding to be able to emulate.\nIts worth noting that PCSX2 makes use of the same plugin specification that was set out by the now long abandoned PSEmu Pro emulator for the PlayStation 1. This allows some features of the PS2 such as the graphics and audio to be handled externally, this does mean that compatibility can differ depending on what plugins you use.\n<strong>Note</strong>: PCSX2 requires the PS2 Bios files to be able to run.",

It is primarily developed by a single developer, that developer being Jean-Philip Desjardins.\nPlay! is written in C/C++ and is designed to make use of instruction caching and a dynamic recompiler scheme to try and achieve better performance while emulating the PS2’s complicated CPU.\nThe project is designed as a way for Jean-Philip Desjardins to sharpen his own programming skills and for him to gain more experience in the computer engineering and software engineering fields. Which so far, is an excellent showcase as the emulator is slowly but surely showing some good progress. It currently can run a few games, which is a great achievement in itself, but it runs them with a lot of issues.\nIf the development is kept up, Play! should become a fantastic emulator with a few years of active development put into it.",

PS2emu never really gained enough development time to actually become anything to great.\nIt ended up as an attempt to trial at several new techniques that would enable the PS2 to be emulated much faster then other emulators at the time, however the Dynamic Recompiler featured in the only alpha they released was only about 10% complete. It was a good proof of concept, but sadly as said before, development never really gained much momentum and it never saw another release.\nThere was signs of Roor coming back to finish off his development on the emulator, but he seems to of disappeared again as well.\n<strong>Note</strong>: PS2emu requires the PS2 Bios files to be able to run.\nAlso note that this emulator requires plugins and does not come with any in the download.",

A lot of work however has been done to try and ensure the core is as stable as possible.\nNo$PSX like some of the other top PSX emulators, emulates the BIOS via what is called a BIOS-clone. \nThis has a few advantages, first of those is that it is free and legal, the PSX Bios itself is covered under copyright so your technically not allowed to download it. Secondly the cloned bios has the ability to be much faster then the original PSX bios, meaning No$PSX can run some games faster just thanks to an optimized clone.\nHowever there is one down side, there is a chance that compatibility may not be as good, this is mainly due to games that need to apply unknown patches to the clone bios. No$PSX tries to replicate them patches where possible but it can’t cover all of them.",

Considering what Chankast managed to achieve during its short lifespan its nothing short of a miracle as it for a short while beat out a few other emulators.\nSadly development only lasted 3 months before all signs of development vanished, leaving Chankast woefully outdated and buggy. its a shame development never lasted long enough to really flesh out the emulation, make it more accurate and deal with the various bugs. It’s unknown while development suddenly ceased, but due to it being a closed source project all the work was lost.\nWe recommend using an emulator such as Demul or NullDC instead as they have been kept in development much longer, becoming more superior in speed, emulation accuracy and more robust emulation.",

"shortDesc": "Xenia is the breakthrough Xbox 360 Emulator. It is the only publicly available and open-source emulator available for the system. It manages to emulate several commercial Xbox 360 games successfully.",
"description": "Xenia is the one, and only Xbox 360 Emulator. Developed originally by Ben Vanik while he was between jobs and needed something to bide his time in the meantime. He noticed that there was a sheer lack of any progress or any interest in developing an emulator for the Xbox 360, so then the Xenia Xbox 360 emulator project was born.\nXenia has so far proven to be a very fruitful project, starting back in 2013, actually successfully managing to run a Xbox 360 game on PC seemed just like a pipe dream. After the sheer lack of any successful original Xbox emulators, many thought that the Xbox 360 would end up facing the same fate. However Xenia has now proven otherwise, while 3 years might seem like a lot of time, for a complicated system like the Xbox 360 its amazing what the team have managed to achieve.\nAs of August 2016, there is just over 50 titles that can now be successfully ran on the emulator while managing to achieve full speed. This is an incredibly impressive feat and shows that the emulator is well on its way to being able to successfully emulate the whole system. With any luck more developers will come to the project and help speed up work and help find improvements in the pre-existing code.\nWhile Xenia is making a lot of progress, there is a couple of things that are worth noting. One you <strong>require</strong> a 64bit operating system, so don’t bother trying this if you have a 32bit operating system. The emulator relies on Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) meaning you will have to ensure that your processor actually supports this feature set, there is no way around this due to the way certain things work on the Xbox 360. It is also recommended by the developers to use a NVIDIA GPU and an Intel processor.",

The program intends to actually convert the Xbox file, into a fully working Windows executable, while it seems like a far fetched idea it is fully plausible considering how close the Xbox’s architecture is to Windows.\nUnlike other emulators that are fully custom solutions, Microsoft used a lot of there experience developing Windows to help develop the Xbox and its architecture.\nOverall compatibility from CXBX is pretty bad, most games will refuse to work, and those that do will either be extremely slow or riddled with all sorts of bugs. Despite this though CXBX is one of the more promising attempts at getting the Xbox games to run on other platforms. But sadly, development seems to be all but ceased, and now there is only one real promising emulator that is left in development. That being XQEMU.\nPlease note for those who are on 64-bit systems, CXBX may not run at all due to the way it converts the executable, it was designed before 64-bit became mainstream.",

There is still some hope in that the XQEMU project will manage to achieve a higher level of emulation\nDespite such an early promise of being able to emulate Xbox games, Xeon never had another release and was left as yet another abandoned Xbox emulator.",

Atari800 also offers for Atari’s 8-bit computer systems that they released arround the same time as the Atari5200. Atari800 has been ported to a variety of different operating system, this ranges from Windows, Linux, Unix and even Dreamcast.\nDeveloped originally back in 1995 by programmer David Firth and then released under the GPL, Atari800 proved to be a fantastic for being highly portable with the emulator written in C with portability in mind from the beginning. Thanks to the portable nature of the code, ports for various different operating systems and video game consoles became common.\nAfter David Firth stopped his own personal work on Atari800 in 1997 a group of talented programmers moved to take over development of the emulator themselves, Building off of the core 0.8.0 source code that David Firth had released, it quickly became one of the best Atari 5200 emulators available. Spurred even more so after numerous developers began working on the emulator alongside the new core development team.",
