%TOC%

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.

---+ Nintendo

---++ NES

   * PluginInfoNES exists for rockbox and is believed to be licensed under GPLv2
   * archopen's [[http://www.archopen.org/tiki-index.php?page=aoNES][aoNES]] which is based on [[http://yoyofr92.free.fr/ljgp32/][LJGP32]]. The files which do have any licensing info are GPLv2+
   * [[http://iphone.natetrue.com/nesapp/][NES.app]] - licensed under the GPL

---++ SNES

   * [[http://reesy.gp32x.de/DrPocketSnes.html][DrPocketSnes]] for GP2x - based on [[http://paqpark.nuclearfallout.net/projects/pocketsnes.php][PocketSNES]] and [[http://squidge2x.com/][SquidgeSNES]].  !PocketSNES is based on [[http://www.snes9x.com/][Snes9x]], which is licensed under a "no commercial use" license and hence can't be used with Rockbox.

   * an emulator exists under the name [[PluginRockboy][rockboy]]
   * [[http://ipodlinux.org/IBoy][iBoy]] from iPodLinux, seems to perform better than rockboy.

---+ Sega

---++ Mega Drive/Genesis

   * [[http://reesy.gp32x.de/DrMD.html][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.
   * [[http://www.pknet.com/~joe/dgen-sdl.html][DGen]] - released under a BSD-style license so is portable to Rockbox.  Ported to ipodlinux as [[http://ipodlinux.org/IGens][iGens]]
