There is a huge amount of software available for use under emulators. However, organising it can prove extremely difficult - especially if you have a large collection. I have written a number of utilities to attempt to solve this problem for 18 different platforms - and I hope to write more in the future.
Right now, these platforms are:
- Atari 2600
- Atari 5200
- Atari 7800
- Atari Lynx
- Atari Jaguar
- Bally Astrocade
- Colecovision
- Gameboy
- Genesis/Megadrive
- MSX
- Neo Geo Pocket
- Nintendo 64
- NES
- PCE
- Sega Master System/Game Gear
- SNES
- Vectrex
- Virtual Boy
Note that Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Neo Geo Pocket, and Virtual Boy are only available in a beta version. The latest stable release is v1.4.
