Nintendulator 0.985 beta (2026/08/22)
Nintendulator 0.985 beta (2026/08/22) is released. Nintendulator is an open source Win32 NES emulator written in C (plus some assembly optimization). The original goal was to emulate the NES down to its hardware quirks; though it's fallen behind over the years, recent builds have caught up once again and can emulate certain behaviors most other emulators neglect to handle. However, this emulation precision comes at a price - a 1500MHz (estimated) or faster CPU is required to emulate at full speed.
Bochs v3.1
Bochs v3.1 is released. Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, Bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486, Pentium/PentiumII/PentiumIII/Pentium4 or x86-64 CPU including optional MMX, SSEx and 3DNow! instructions.

Commodore 64 Emulator v0.8.4.2-alpha
Commodore 64 Emulator v0.8.4.2-alpha is released. A Commodore 64 emulator written in modern C++, built with SDL2 and designed around two priorities:Accuracy-first emulation (with a strong focus on real hardware behavior over “good enough” hacks); Debuggability (integrated monitor, break/watchpoints, and visibility into what the machine is doing). This project is actively under development; expect rough edges and incomplete features.
Xenia Edge Git (2026/08/24)
Xenia Edge Git (2026/08/24) 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.
PadForge v4.3.2
PadForge v4.3.2 is released. Modern controller mapping utility for Windows. Maps any controller, keyboard, or mouse to virtual Xbox 360, DualShock 4, custom DirectInput, or MIDI controllers via ViGEmBus, vJoy, and Windows MIDI Services that games and applications see as real hardware.
