Boycott Advance was developed to run home brew Gameboy Advance software, and to that end it works quite well. It is also able to run a wide variety of commercial games, although there are some known issues that prevent some titles, particularly newer ones, from working correctly. There are no plans to spend any more effort on compatibility until the Gameboy Advance is no longer on commercial sale; as such, bug reports for this emulator will be ignored at this time. Please note that Boycott Advance cannot emulate the classic Gameboy; for that you should use KiGB instead. |

Frodo was developed to reproduce Commodore 64 video with a higher degree of precision than existing emulators at the time. It has now been superceded by projects such as Power64, but nevertheless still provides a solid and functional emulation. |

Generator was developed as a college project by James Ponder as a mechanism for evaluating techniques for optimized processor emulation. To that end, it provides surprisingly fast performance for an emulator with no assembly code in it, using tricks such as block marking and redundant flag calculation removal. |
| Genesis Plus | 1.3.1 | Richard Bannister | http://www.bannister.org/software/gplus.htm | This app has been tested and works a-okay in Lion.This app has been tested and does not work properly in Lion.This app has been tested and has some problems in Lion.This app has not been tested in Lion. | This app has been tested and works a-okay in Mountain Lion.This app has been tested and does not work properly in Mountain Lion.This app has been tested and has some problems in Mountain Lion.This app has not been tested in Mountain Lion. |
Genesis Plus features very accurate emulation of the original Sega Genesis, even to the point that some software which has problems on the real hardware (Sonic Crackers, for example) exhibits the same behaviour under emulation. |

Choppy and slow randomly at times. |

The hardware for the Sega Master System and Game Gear consoles is almost identical from a technical standpoint, a feature that helped develop the software library for both platforms. All classic titles can be emulated without problems in SMS Plus, including several which give inferior emulators trouble. |
| TGEmu | 0.3.4 | Richard Bannister | http://www.bannister.org/software/tgemu.htm | This app has been tested and works a-okay in Lion.This app has been tested and does not work properly in Lion.This app has been tested and has some problems in Lion.This app has not been tested in Lion. | This app has been tested and works a-okay in Mountain Lion.This app has been tested and does not work properly in Mountain Lion.This app has been tested and has some problems in Mountain Lion.This app has not been tested in Mountain Lion. |
TGEmu features reasonably good compatibility with PC Engine HuCards. While this release does not support CD-ROM based software, this will be included in a future release. Sound emulation is supported. Also, the emulator can use Gzip compressed ROMs transparently. |
