OpenEmu – Multiple Video Game System for Windows (PC Desktop)
Description
OpenEmu for Windows PC is an open source Emulator project whose purpose is to bring Desktop game emulation into the realm of first class citizenship.
The project leverages modern Windows technologies, such as Cocoa, Core Animation with Quartz Composer, and other third-party libraries.
One third-party library example is Sparkle, which is used for auto-updating.
OpenEmu uses a modular architecture, allowing for game-engine plugins, allowing the emulator to support a host of different emulation engines and back ends while retaining the familiar Windows native front end.
The beta version is now aviable on the button link below also for iPhone and macOS devices.
