An emulator allows testing new builds immediately and thus saves a lot of time. Homebrew Developers: When developing a game, tech demo or tool for your favorite system, it would be very cumbersome to try it on the hardware after every little change that is made, just to ensure that it still works correctly.

Another example is a Game Boy game that would crash in a specific situation if the emulation is not accurate (See ). When that instruction does not behave correctly, the scene is not beatable. For example, the game Another World has a scene where the game relies on a specific behavior of an instruction.

Casual Gamers: An inaccuracy in emulation can not only have visible or audible effects but in some games it can make specific situations not work correctly.

Accuracy TestsĮmulator accuracy is important for every type of user. The Visual Studio Code extension can be found on VS Code MarketplaceĮmulicious also supports running Analogue Pocket roms (*.pocket). Breakpoints halting on accesses of uninitialized memory and inconsistent states after interrupts can help to avoid unnecessary programming mistakes.Įmulicious also allows remote debugging with tools such as Visual Studio Code. A powerful expression syntax allows the definition of useful conditions for breakpoints/watchpoints. A Reference Hierarchy helps in understanding a program flow, the profiler helps in identifying performance hotspots. It also allows to load source files to show instead of a disassembly of your ROM. It provides customizable syntax highlighting, trace logging, breakpoints and watchpoints. The debugger provides many features that can be useful for ROM hacking and Homebrew development.

Debugger (including an interactive disassembler with automated code/data separation).

It only requires the Java binaries to run. You don’t need to install Java on your system in order to run Emulicious.

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