IV/Play v2.17 is released. IV/Play (pronounced ‘Four Play’) is a new desktop oriented GUI front-end for MAME™. It was designed and commissioned by John IV as a familiar feeling alternative to MAMEUI. It has a narrow and particular feature-set, is keyboard driven, and utilises many of the navigation and short cuts of MAMEUI. It is available as a combo x64/x86 app and is targeted towards Windows 7 (or greater) with leveraged features like Jump List support. IV/Play is decoupled from setting MAME options directly in an effort to future proof against the continual core changes that impact MAMEUI.
SuperZSNES v0.321 is released. Re-written completely from scratch, this GPU-powered SNES emulator is here to bring you the following: some of what is familiar, some of what's new, and then some of what goes beyond.
ZeraPS5 v0.1.0 (build 898) is released. An AI-assisted PS5 emulator project with a Windows launcher.
Genesis Plus EX v3.2.0 is released. A Windows emulator based on Genesis Plus GX, built directly against the emulator core. It sits alongside the existing sdl/ and gx/ ports as a new win32/ port. No SDL. Video goes through GDI or, optionally, Direct3D 9 or Direct3D 11 (Video → Renderer); sound through waveOut, gamepads through XInput. The finished executable depends only on DLLs that ship with Windows. Supports everything the core does: Mega Drive / Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000, Mega CD / Sega CD, and Pico. Genesis Plus by Hazem Abdelghani (2026).
GenX v1.1.3 is released. A new Sega emulator that can run Genesis, Game Gear, 32X, and Sega CD.
RustPS5Emu v0.1.5-alpha is released. RustPS5Emu is a compatibility layer for PS5 games, in the spirit of Wine: the game's x86-64 code runs natively on the host CPU; the system libraries (kernel, libc, graphics, audio, input, save data, networking, ...) are implemented in Rust (HLE); the GPU command stream is translated to Vulkan, and RDNA shaders are recompiled to SPIR-V.
Coffee GB v2.1.10 is released. Coffee GB is a Gameboy Color emulator written in Java 16 (core) and Kotlin (UI). It's meant to be a development exercise.
Lichii build 160 is released. Lichii is an experimental, open-source Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 emulator written in C++. It builds on Eglantine, Eden, yuzu and Sudachi, preserving their contributions while developing this fork's game compatibility and renderer fixes. This is an independent fork, not an official release of those upstream projects. Lichii is not affiliated with Nintendo.
Zaxnes v0.5.0 is released. Zaxnes is a free, GPL-3.0 NES emulator that renders games in 3D: each frame's tiles and sprites are turned into extruded 3D objects, placed in a scene and drawn with a real camera, lighting and shadows. A 3D profile describes, per game, which patterns become which geometry, and carries Lua scripts that drive the scene while the game plays.

Xenia Edge Git (2026/11/12) is released. Xenia Edge is yet another experimental fork of the Xenia emulator, mainly based on Xenia Canary but with the aim of quicker iteration and improvements to Vulkan backend and Linux platform in particular. Windows of course remains fully supported as well and will benefit from changes made here especially with its Vulkan backend.
Eglantine (2026/11/12) is released. Eglantine is a free and opensource (FOSS) Switch 2 emulator, derived from Eden, Yuzu and Sudachi - started by developer Camille LaVey. It's written in C++ with portability in mind, with builds for Windows, Linux and macOS.
KytyPS5 (2026/11/12) is released. KytyPS5 is a PlayStation 5 compatibility layer. The project is still in an early stage of development, so compatibility is limited and behavior may change quickly between builds.
