The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives
and similar projects. The last one was on 2021-12-03.
- How is it possible to have CHR ROM of size 0 and yet FCEUX emulator has pattern tables?
- Nestest IRQ interrupt address begins at 0xC004 but in nestest.log it should be 0xC000
-
Any NES CPU tests that I can compare output of my CPU with output of the test?
nestest is the go-to for testing the CPU with logs. Here's the README, ROM, and log.
- My emulator can't write to address 0x8000 because its PRG ROM, but other emulators can?
- Basic CPU only test ROMS
- Confused about page crossing.
- New to developing emulation programs
- What's everyone currently working on?
- What cycles really are?

Question about nestest.nes
either check the results left in $02 and $03, or compare an execution log to e.g. this one.

Bit random but does anyone know how possible it is to get this look within Stella? [Pallete/TV Effects].
Not Stella, but the Clock Signal emulator does a great job of emulating the TV effects. The 2600 emulation isn't quite as good as Stella, though.

Giveaway: Mac Plus with Hard Disk 20 - Chicago area
I’ll be visiting Chicago on the 9th for a single night, and the author of this Mac Plus emulator which attempts to be cycle-accurate and therefore it’d be really great to have a real machine to test against… but I’m clueless at electrical work. So factor that in re: the retirement that the machine be used by its direct recipient.

Of the more rarely seen here: the Apple II, why not?
The repository is here; binary releases for the Mac are in the appropriate section though HDV support and a few other relevant tweaks haven’t made it into a release yet so you can’t yet run Total Replay as shown. You’d probably need to use disk images.

Vi-mode for your Apple II prompt
Thanks for the confirmation! I just wrote an Issue. I hope Tom gets it sorted out. I normally use OpenEmulator on the Mac but I like the simplicity of CLK and would like to make it my main emulator.

But does it run Doom? Ummm, not exactly.
It's available via GitHub but fair warning: it's a large project and is the one I used to learn modern C++ so some of the older parts of it aren't fantastic.
