Survivability: The emulator's long-term potential, commonly measured by the frequency in which the emulator is updated.Usability: The ease in which the emulator may be accessed by the "average user" assuming minimal computer knowledge.Features: Support for certain functions that aren't core to the original experience such as gamepad rumble, shaders, networking, etc.Speed: The ability to deliver an emulated experience at the same speed as the original hardware given the limitations of the NonMAME baseline reference system noted below.Accuracy: The ability to emulate the functions of the target system as faithfully as possible.Open-source status and availability: Only emulators that are open-source and run natively in Linux (the OS behind the NonMAME baseline reference system noted below) will be documented.4: Updated Atari 5200 section with a note on analog control limitations.Įvaulation criteria for the best emulator of a given system is as follows (in order of importance):.8: Updated Model-3 Based Hardware section to reflect more accurate game names.8: Updated PlayStation 2 section to reflect many exciting changes to the PCSX2 project which are underway.Minor changes to Nintendo Switch section as well.

This primarily involves arcade, computer, console and handheld systems.
NonMAME documents the best open-source emulator for any given system, with priority given to MAME due to its comprehensive scope.
