    VirtualBox

    VirtualBox

    Virtualization software for x86_64 hardware

    VirtualBox is a powerful open-source full virtualization software that allows a user to run one or more “guest” operating systems simultaneously inside “virtual machines” on a single physical “host” machine. It supports a wide variety of host platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, etc.) and guest OSes, enabling, for example, running Linux on a Windows PC, running Windows Server on a Linux host, or even legacy OSes in a controlled environment. This flexibility makes VirtualBox ideal for developers, testers, sysadmins, or hobbyists who need different OS environments, want to test software across systems, or need isolation for development, sandboxing, or security experiments. VirtualBox offers both a user-friendly GUI as well as a command-line interface and headless mode, making it useful for desktop usage as well as server or automated environments.

    teo-emulator

    teo-emulator

    Teo is an emulator of the Thomson TO8 microcomputer

    Teo is an emulator of the Thomson TO8 microcomputer for PC, running on MSDOS, Windows and Linux. The compatibility is close to 100% for softwares which don't use non emulated peripherals and don't hold physical protections. In other words, if a software doesn't work on Teo, so probably : 1. it needs the presence of another peripheral than mouse, light-pen, joystick, tape recorder and disks (so it won't run as long as this peripheral is not emulated), 2. its physical protection makes it fail.

    zBoy

    zBoy

    a multiplatform, full-featured GameBoy classic emulator

    zBoy is a multiplatform GameBoy emulator that provides a load/save feature, can perform PCX screenshots either manually or automatically (every few seconds) and emulates an internal battery for ROMs that were designed to use one (this allows to use the internal save option provided by such games, remember highest scores, etc). zBoy supports some additionnal features, too, like intelligent saving of hi-scores for some games that aren't able to save their hi-scores table by themselves because of the lack of a battery-backed RAM on the cartridge, and improving screen's resolution output using graphic algorithms like Scale2x, Scale3x, eagle... Here you can see a comparison between graphic algorithms supported by zBoy. This is also one of the very few GameBoy emulators that provides a 2-gameboys link emulation, which makes it possible to play some games in 2-players mode on a LAN. The emulator is available for Linux, DOS and Windows (but should compile for other systems, too).
