And they are Makes some sense though, you could be providing their emulators modified with some trojans for instance and then the end user would think it was the developer's fault. Why do you think when someone states here that they got HyperSpin elsewhere they don't get any support here? Emulators are property of their developers and as such they must grant you the rights to distribute them. Most of them simply won't care anyway, but others do. Regarding the bios, no matter how people try to sugar coat it, distributing bios files as well as roms is illegal. The likelihood of any company actually caring about it decreases drastically with the age of a system that's why they are all over the place without any problems. Why do you think the Cave SH-3 drivers were pulled from MAME? Because those games still give a good revenue for Cave and so they took actions against it. They didn't bother with the older ones though.

Careful where you will be hosting those, as for one GIT isn't really supposed to be hosting binaries, since it's a version control system. Plus a lot of emulator creators will be royally pissed with you for hosting their emulators without their consent. So if this is hosted in something like Google Code it has everything to be shutdown pretty fast. Not to mention sharing bios files is illegal

I think this kind of info would make much more sense in the Wiki now that we have one, it will simply be lost here.

You might want to ask the developer to support it, he was posting on the HL2 thread.

FCEUX is also pretty good.

Yeah Nestopia is pretty good (still my default NES emu), there is an unofficial update more recent btw so you should use that one. But seems puNES is actually more accurate than Nestopia, I didn't spend much time with it tbh you might want to give it a try.

Sorry, but this kind of assumptions make no sense, for one thing the teams working on each emulation driver are different it's not like it's the same guy juggling with 10 different drives at the same time and they don't focus on all systems at the same time, like now for example they are mostly working on the PSX driver. PCE emulation on Mednafen is very mature, besides being cycle accurate and has nothing to envy from Magic Engine, it's also free and is constantly updated (not really the PCE driver since it doesn't need it), when was the last time you saw a Magic Engine update? Oh and PC-FX emulation on Mednafen beats the hell out of the paid Magic Engine FX just saying. I wouldn't say Mednafen is the best NES emulator though, there's still quite some work to do there, same for PSX, but if they keep their standards I wouldn't be surprised it would become the best emulator for these systems later down the road.

Mednafen, yes it is better than Magic Engine now besides it's free like you say. CCS64 over WinVice? Nope, even though you might need CCS64 for some particular games, unline Magic Engine, CCS64 is shareware anyway so you're not forced to pay anything.

The Triforce build is a branch of the main Dolphin.

Kodiak, well... even if you didn't purchase it there's a hacked version floating around just saying I agree CDi support should be added to the MESS module though, it does emulate some games well enough. I'll pm you about the chds djvj.

MESS (and TinyCDi) only supports the Mono player so it's compatibility is way lower than CDiEmu. Some games do work well enough on MESS, but like I said only those that work on the mono.

WinArcadia should be the preferred emu for Emerson Arcadia 2001 not MESS. Also you have Mednafen and Turbo Engine both as being the preferred emu for Turbografx-16/CD, if you ask me you can mark Mednafen as being the preferred emulator for all NEC console systems. I wouldn't say SSF is the best emu for ST-V either, Mame has a much better compatibility currently. On nullDC, don't forget to mention that Makaron (preferred) or Demul are also needed to play WinCE games.

You should be using eSCV and not MESS for Super Cassette Vision, unless you want to play 2 player games for those that do work on MESS that is as eSCV only emulates 1 controller. Too bad no one was able to fix Mappy timing issues yet though.

Xebra unless you like to use fancy filters in which case you have to go with epsxe or psxfin which have lots of issues with several games.
