Free sega saturn emulator software for linux

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.

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.

cereal is an emulation framework designed to allow easy emulation of interconnected modules. Its main component is an 8051 emulator module, so it can be used as an 8051 emulator.

The reason for writing cereal was an 8051 embedded controller which should control an engine using pulse-width modulation, read the resulting flow from a flowmeter, and regulate the output to keep flow at a given value.

In the real world, it takes about two seconds for the algorithm to stabilize, and emulating two seconds using conventional emulators (computing the engine input, the real flow, the feedback frequency) by hand is simply impossible to do.

Using cereal, it took about two hours to create a module emulating the engine/flowmeter combination, along with a window showing the current values. Then it is trivial to connect this module to the 8051 module and just sit back and watch the result.

Another, more trivial example is a multiplexed display/keyboard combination (in my case, selecting one of four 8-segment LCD displays). Instead of watching the port bits, why not create a module that shows the output graphically as four displays?

In addition to these possibilities, cereal offers breakpoints, watches, evaluate/modify dialog (which can solve 2 * x + 1 = 5). The KDE GUI also can be extended using KParts (8051 interface is provided as a KParts plugin).

Also included is a command interface usable for creating testsuites for your programs (or for cereal itself - cereal has over 400 tests in its testsuite), and a simple 8051 disassembler.

LegaSynth is an old chip and synthethizer emulator.

Current engines proovide very precise emulation of:

- Yamaha DX7 FM
- MOS6581 Sound Interface Device (or best known as the good old C64 SID :)
- Yamaha YMH2K series (Soundchip very popular in small Yamaha keyboards/Arcades and the Sega GENESIS)
- TB303 - Still needs some work, but its perfectly usable.

LegaSynth Programming Framework:

- LegaSynth is also a very powerful synthethizer programming framework, where, with only a few lines of code you can have your own engine going.
- A simple demo engine and some documentation are aviable within the source tarball.
- The difference between LegaSynth and other programs such as Reaktor, Bristol, PD, csound,etc is that here the engines have to be actually programmed and optimized by hand, this way legasynth achieves unparalleled speed and polyphony.

FCE Ultra is a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and Famicom (Family Computer) emulator for a variety of different platforms, based on Beros FCE. Game compatibility is very high, provided you provide non-corrupt ROM/disk images.
It has been tested (and runs) under DOS, Linux SVGAlib, Linux X, Mac OS X, and MS Windows. A native GUI is provided for the MS Windows port, and the other ports use a command-line based interface. The SDL port should run on any modern UNIX-like operating system(such as FreeBSD) with no code changes.
Enhancements:
- Latest code found on the net.

Sakura is a vte-based terminal emulator. Sakura project aims to provide a terminal emulator that only depends on GTK and VTE.

It use a notebook to allow multiple tabs in the same window.

It pretends to be a terminal emulator with few dependencies, so you dont need a full GNOME desktop installed to have a decent terminal emulator. As far as i know, the only terminal emulators based on VTE are gnome-terminal and a small sample program included in the vte sources.

Sakura differences from the last one is that it uses a notebook to provide several terminals in one windows and adds a contextual menu with some basic options. No more no less.

All the real and hard work is performed by libvte, a great library programmed by Behdad Esfahbod, Guilherme de S. Pastore and Nalin Dahyabhai.

Game Launcher project is a universal front end for emulators.
The main goal is to provide a user interface that is easy to use and attractive, yet does not look like a traditional user interface with windows and such.
Game Launcher should work with any emulator, but it has been known to work with MAME, Nesticle, RockNES, zSNES, snes9x, Callus, Stella, z26, and Versions are available for Unix, DOS, and Windows.
Main features:
- Very flexible. It should run with any command line emulator.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Plays music in the background (MP3s or an audio CD).
- Displays screenshots (PNG, PCX, BMP, and JPEG).
- Customizable font.
- Customizable screen resolution.
- Support for vertical (rotated) monitors.
- Slight menu animations.
- Support for PC joysticks.

KStella is a KDE frontend to the Atari 2600 emulator, Stella. It currently supports the display of snapshots, labels, manuals, the configuration of individual game settings and of course, the ability to play games with just a click of the mouse.
All these features are fully customizable to allow maximum flexibility.
KStella is NOT an emulator. It is merely a frontend to Stella, a multi-platform, Atari 2600 emulator.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug where ROMs with the #" symbol wouldnt appear in the ROM list.
- Added a progress dialog box when loading ROM information from disk.
- Fixed problem with compiling on Mandrake 9.2 when using older versions of QT.
- Finally fixed the long-standing bug where KDE items (icons, rc files, etc.) would be installed in the wrong places. This was due to a bug in the configure script generated by KDevelop. Thats what I get for relying on a GUI development environment.
- Tested this release on Mandrake 9.2 and 10.0, Libranet 2.8.1 (Debian) and Suse 9.0.
