This page lists various game systems and emulators to help with the porting to rockbox.

NOTE: Please include licensing information with these emulators - remember Rockbox is GPL'd.

• NES.app - licensed under the GPL

SNES

• DrPocketSnes for GP2x - based on PocketSNES and SquidgeSNES. PocketSNES is based on Snes9x, which is licensed under a "no commercial use" license and hence can't be used with Rockbox.

Mega Drive/Genesis

• DrMD - no specific license information, but contains an m68k emulator licensed under a "no commercial use" license and hence can't be used with Rockbox.
