Cemu Graphic Packs
Community Graphic Packs for Cemu
Use Cemu's built-in graphic packs downloader (a feature added in Cemu 1.15.1) to automatically retrieve the newest graphic packs from our repository. Remove all of your graphic packs first, then move all of the folders from a downloaded .zip below to the graphicPacks folder from your Cemu folder. Choose one of the 3 downloads from above. Each download has a range of versions it supports, pick the one that’s supported by your downloaded Cemu version. Some graphic packs might not be available for Cemu 1.14.0 and newer while previous versions did have graphic packs. This is due to the full reimplementation of the texture system in Cemu 1.14.0. This also changed a lot of the aspects with textures and made all previous graphic packs that changed textures outdated. -

DuckStation
Fast PlayStation 1 emulator for x86-64/AArch32/AArch64
DuckStation is an simulator/emulator of the Sony PlayStation(TM) console, focusing on playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices. "Hack" options are discouraged, the default configuration should support all playable games with only some of the enhancements having compatibility issues. A "BIOS" ROM image is required to to start the emulator and to play games. You can use an image from any hardware version or region, although mismatching game regions and BIOS regions may have compatibility issues. A ROM image is not provided with the emulator for legal reasons, you should dump this from your own console using Caetla or other means. DuckStation features a fully-featured frontend built using Qt, as well as a fullscreen/TV UI based on Dear ImGui. -

Emupedia
The purpose of Emupedia is to serve as a nonprofit meta-resource
Emupedia is an ambitious open-source web platform and preservation initiative that aims to archive, emulate, and make accessible legacy software, games, and operating systems through a browser-based interface. Rather than focusing on a single emulator, it acts as a meta-layer that integrates multiple emulation technologies into a cohesive virtual desktop experience. The project recreates entire operating system environments, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, within the browser, allowing users to interact with software as if they were using original hardware. Its primary goal is digital preservation, collecting and organizing abandonware, freeware, and historically significant software while making it accessible through modern web technologies. Emupedia also serves as a community hub, encouraging contributions and collaboration around retro computing and emulation projects. -

FEX
A fast usermode x86 and x86-64 emulator for Arm64
FEX allows you to run x86 and x86-64 binaries on an AArch64 host, similar to qemu-user and box86. It has native support for a rootfs overlay, so you don't need to chroot, as well as some thunklibs so it can forward things like GL to the host. FEX presents a Linux 5.0 interface to the guest, and supports both AArch64 and x86-64 as hosts. FEX is very much work in progress, so expect things to change. FEX has been tested to build and run on ARMv8.0, ARMv8.1+, and x86-64(AVX or newer) hardware. ARMv7 and older x86 hardware will not work. Expected operating system usage is Linux. FEX has been tested with Ubuntu 20.04, 20.10, and 21.04. Also Arch Linux. AArch64 hosts require a rootfs for running applications. -

Remix OS
Remix OS for PC is a productivity focused, desktop version of Android.
Given its lightweight size and system requirements, Remix OS for PC is well suited to be installed on a USB drive (8GB+) and used as a portable workspace securely containing the user’s documents and apps. This particular use case has significant advantages for users within emerging markets where shared PCs are more common. A key feature of Remix OS for PC is multiple window support, and this has been vastly improved in the migration to Marshmallow. Significant examples include: ● New button has been implemented that resizes a window to fit specifically to the app’s content - ensuring optimal layout is maintained ● Video-based apps now open up in full-screen when you maximize the video rather than staying in a small framed window ● Resizing windows manually can now be initiated anywhere along the edge of the window (other than the top edge), rather than just on the bottom right corner -

melonDS
DS emulator, sorta
melonDS aims at providing fast and accurate Nintendo DS emulation. While it is still a work in progress, it has a pretty solid set of features. Firmware boot (not direct boot) requires a BIOS/firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly. DS BIOS dumps from a DSi or 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues. -

vDos
Run DOS applications in Windows.
vDos is specific to run serious (mainly text mode) DOS applications in Windows 32 or 64-bit, Windows 7 or later. You need at least already use such a DOS application to appreciate vDos. If you don’t, want to play with DOS (or its games): vDos isn’t meant for you! Recent versions (latest 2025.05.01) and the vDos forum are now hosted at: https://www.vdos.info -

DeSmuME
DeSmuME is a Nintendo DS emulator
In this version we have added support for high-resolution 3D rendering. Try the new “GPU Scaling Factor” feature to increase the 3D resolution beyond the native resolution of 256×192 pixels. Also, the Cocoa frontend sees continued radical enhancements and while the Windows frontend sees some new incremental enhancements. DeSmuME is a very CPU demanding app. While many users will see DeSmuME as a toy (and use it as such), it is actually a very sophisticated piece of software with lots of features. Also, DeSmuME focuses more on compatibility and features than on speed. Our philosophy is this: You can always mow some extra lawns or babysit some more rugrats to buy upgrades for your computer; but there's nothing you can do to fix compatibility or gain new features. We take care of our side of things, so you should take care of yours. DeSmuME is mostly CPU intensive and less GPU intensive. -
