Emulator Resources / Potential Emulators

This page is part of the emulator resources page collection.

This page is a list of possible open source emulators for adding rerecording tools. The idea is to get information out to potential developers looking to start a rerecording project.

The only requirements for this list are: 1) Open source 2) Not already approved for submission at TASvideos
