Emulicious 2020-05-14

Description

Emulicious is a free to use multi-system emulator for Windows, Linux, Mac OS(X) and any other operating system supporting Java SE.

You don’t need to install Java on your system in order to run Emulicious. It only requires the Java binaries to run. For Windows users there’s a download including current Java binaries (see Emulicious Downloads Section).

 

Emulicious consists of the following emulators:

  • A Nintendo Game Boy Emulator
  • A Nintendo Game Boy Color Emulator
  • A Sega Master System Emulator
  • A Sega Game Gear Emulator

 

Even though Emulicious aims for precision and accurate emulation it still provides some additional features and tools:

  • Automatic Updates
  • Adjustable Turbo
  • Adjustable Throttle
  • IPS Patching
  • Savestates (Master System/Game Gear only)

 

Tools:

  • Debugger (including an interactive disassembler with automated code/data separation)
  • Profiler
  • Tracer
  • Coverage Analyzer
  • Memory Editor
  • Palette Viewer
  • Tile Viewer
  • Tilemap Viewer
  • Sprite Viewer
  • Data Plotter
  • RAM Search
  • RAM Watch
  • Memory Tracer (Master System/Game Gear only)

 

The debugger provides many features that can be useful for ROM hacking and Homebrew development. It provides customizable syntax highlighting, trace logging, breakpoints and watchpoints. It also allows to load source files to show instead of a disassembly of your ROM. A Reference Hierarchy helps in understanding a program flow, the profiler helps in identifying performance hotspots. A powerful expression syntax allows the definition of useful conditions for breakpoints/watchpoints. Breakpoints halting on accesses of uninitialized memory and inconsistent states after interrupts can help to avoid unnecessary programming mistakes.

Changelog

This update comes with several additions and improvements. Most notably an additional system is now emulated, the MSX.

 

Four weeks ago I got interested in emulating the MSX and now I feel it is ready to be released. It supports most cartridge ROMs released for the MSX1. If a disk ROM and an alternative BIOS are provided it also supports program on floppy disks in the form of dsk images.

 

Emulicious’s debugger now also supports loading Sjasm lst files as source files. Sjasm is a Z80 assembler that is often used for MSX development but can also be used for other Z80 systems like the Mastersystem.

 

Furthermore, the profiler has been improved to better support the calling convention of C.

 

The full list of changes follows:

  • Added MSX emulation
  • Added support to load lst files containing Sjasm sourcecode in the debugger
  • Improved Profiler to better work with C calling convention
  • Remember last directory for loading sources/symbols
  • Fixed an issue with breakpoints on ROMs larger than 4 MB (thanks to Antígeno)
  • Improved Auto Palette option in Tile Viewer for SMS Mode 4
  • Added View menu to Tile Viewer to choose different layouts
  • Added Frame Advance to the main emulator (formerly only available in debugger)
  • Improved Tilemap Viewer and Tile Viewer support for TMS Modes
  • Added CTRL+SHIFT as hotkey for Reload ROM
  • Added an option to automatically reload a ROM when it changes
  • Fixed a bug that wouldn’t allow setting gamepad inputs if there
  • are more than 2 gamepads connected (Thanks to Niloct)
  • Several minor bugfixes and improvements
