Open Source Lua Emulators

RetroBIOS is an open-source project that provides complete BIOS and firmware packs for a wide range of emulators and retro gaming platforms. It includes thousands of verified system files required to run consoles and arcade systems accurately across tools like RetroArch, Batocera, RetroPie, and EmuDeck. Each BIOS file is validated against emulator source code to ensure correctness, compatibility, and proper functionality. The project simplifies setup by offering automated install scripts that detect your platform and download only the required missing files. It also includes detailed documentation, cross-platform mappings, and verification tools to help users manage and audit their BIOS collections. Overall, RetroBIOS serves as a reliable, structured solution for retro gaming enthusiasts who want accurate and hassle-free emulator setups.

On December 24th, 1996, Nicola Salmoria began working on his single hardware emulators, which he merged into one program during January 1997. He named the accomplishment by the name of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, or MAME for short.

An open source NES Emulator for Windows and Unix that features solid emulation accuracy and state of the art tools for power users. FCEUX's source code is now hosted at https://github.com/TASVideos/fceux/ win32 autobuilds @ https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zeromus/fceux/build/artifacts

MicroLua brings the programming language Lua on the Nintendo DS for easy and fast development of beautiful homebrews! Based on brunni's µLibrary, µLua is a Lua interpreter featuring fast drawings and many important functionalities. You can exploit your Nintendo DS with the simplistic yet powerful Lua language! On your cartridge, MicroLua is a NDS executable that shows as its frontend a great graphical shell from which you can explore your cartridge and run Lua scripts written for µLua. µLua already benefits from an impressive collection of homebrews, from a complete and expandable MicroLua IDE to enjoyable games, produced by an active and helpful community.

WinDS is a Reimplementation of the OS Windows(R) XP(R) on the Platform Nintendo DS. Since i started coding Apps for the NDS, my goal was to write a program, called WinDS, which does (nearly) the same as the real appy by Microsoft. In contrast to other little NDS-Operating Systems, just like Woopsi etc. you can code your own Application in Lua for WinDS: just copy the Code onto the FAT-Disk and execute it from within WinDS! This is what makes WinDS so unique. The New Beta 0.95 is out, it features - 52 Classes that are already available within Lua - 25 different types of user interface classes - 8 different predefined dialogs which makes it the perfect GUI sandbox for DS. PS: More time without update means: next update will have even more improvements, as i am still developing ;)

Input Control is a project to allow users to create and play back logs of their play sessions on retro game consoles that use serial communication controllers. Only SNES is supported in the current version, but future updates can be expanded to most types of consoles. Firmware and some code originally based on jaburn's NintendoSpy project, but it has changed a lot for consistency and otherwise.

CellAO Datalogging provides the raw data Databases / Scripts / and other Documentation for Emulating Anarchy Online or makeing bots and such.

A MapleStory server emulator written in C#, with many possibilities of customizing such as scripting.

Arcan is a portable and fully scriptable frontend for launching games, emulators and other full-screen applications in a visual appealing way, as seamlessly as possible. The API is sufficiently complete for other projects as well, e.g. rapid game prototyping (both 2D and 3D). Note that we have left sourceforge (thanks for all the spam). The source is hosted on github ( http://www.github.com/letoram/arcan ) and the downloads on bintray https://bintray.com/letoram/arcan-main/
