Free emulators software for linux

libutempter project provides a library interface for terminal emulators such as screen and xterm to record user sessions to utmp and wtmp files.
Enhancements:
- FreeBSD support has been fixed.

Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator (UADE) plays most Amiga music file formats by simulating Amiga hardware and software.
Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator plays over 180 Amiga music file formats and has three frontends for playing: a command line tool, an XMMS plugin, and a Beep Media Player frontend.
Enhancements:
- An improved version of the Special FX replayer was added.
- A new Special FX ST replayer was added.
- Bugs in song length database handling were fixed.
- Audacious 1.3 is supported.
- 15 instrument soundtracker module detection is supported.

Wide Area Link Emulator enables you to set and test various parameters of a WAN access link (also known as a bottleneck link) before testing on a fully-functional network.

Any ISP has a high bandwidth LAN (of the order of tens of Mbps, e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN access link with relatively low speeds (of the order of a few Kbps to a few Mbps). To be able to evaluate the ISPs performance, actual tests will have to be conducted on a live, fully functional network. This would imply enabling certain features in communication equipment which could be detrimental to the proper functioning of a commissioned network. To address such a problem of being able to characterize/quantify the network operation in terms of its performance with respect to various parameters, a test-bed emulating the ISPs connectivity to the Internet would be an ideal solution.

An important factor in setting up such a test-bed, is emulating the WAN Access Link. Using complex hardware is costly. Such a link can however be easily implemented by emulating the scenario on popular physical technology such as Ethernet. By changing the TCP/IP stack on a Personal Computer, the rate at which packets are injected into the network can be controlled and other necessary features can easily be added.

WALE was implemented in 2 phases and the first version can emulated bandwidths up to 8Mbps and uses FIFO queues with drop-tail.

WALE v2 can emulate bandwidths of up to 80Mbps(a 10-fold improvement over version 1) due to the stripped down version of Micro-second resolution timer being used in the Linux kernel. WALE also implements differentiated services are recommended by IETF. A hash-based packet classifier is used to classify packets into one of 3 queues (Expedited Forwarding, Assured Forwarding and Best Effort). A simple priority scheduling has been implemented between the queues.

Version 2 has been implemented in the Generic Device Layer of the Linux Kernel. The kernel version is 2.2.19. WALE2 kernel patch can be downloaded here. An ncurses based front end has been implemented for setting and viewing various parameters of the bottleneck link.

pLauncher project is an emulator front-end for multiple emulators.
pLauncher allows you to centralize all of your emulator/ROM launching needs.
It is open ended enough to allow the launching of any emulator (xmame, snes9x, xmess, vgb, dgen, WINE, etc.) and its ROMS/binaries.
Main features:
- Small and fast
- Works with any emulator
- Customizable views
- Easy to use
Enhancements:
- Added a rom count
- Added support for personal config file ~/.pLauncher
- Added graphical installer
- Fixed Help menu item to bring up HTML manual in Netscape (should be customizable in the future)
- Fixed bug which gave warning with no custom views

plus4emu is a portable emulator of the Commodore Plus/4 computer. It supports Windows and POSIX platforms (32 bit Windows and 32 and 64 bit Linux have been tested).
The project implements accurate, high quality hardware emulation, but the system requirements are higher than that of most other emulators.
Enhancements:
- TED emulation improvements were made.
- The frame rate in full speed mode is now limited to a maximum of 50 Hz to improve performance.
- Some minor bugs were fixed.

Gemu News is a SuperKaramba theme that displays the latest version of compatibility layers like wine and the latest version of emulators like dosbox. The version of xqf is also listend.

By clicking on the globe youll get on the homepage of the driver/tool.

Im looking forward for your feedback.

Mamory is a set of usefull functions for emulators related projects.
Mamory project allows easy inclusion of roms management features into these projects through a simple API.
The distributed packages also contain a command line interface that use the potential of the library libmamory.so.
Enhancements:
- The embedded expat library has been removed: this release requires that expat is installed on your system.
