Emulators on Legacy systems
- This article is dedicated to operating systems that have been discontinued.
- For software that emulates these systems see: Macintosh, Commodore 64, FM Towns,
"Legacy systems" are systems that are unsupported or abandoned by their manufacturer/developer, such as BeOS. Microsoft products are listed here.
The reason to discontinuing these products varies. For operating systems it varies from lack of profit/lack of commercial success (such as BeOS) to devices it was for becoming outdated or failing themselves (such as BlackBerry OS).
This does NOT include emulators for discontinued handhelds, home computers or consoles, or operating systems supported by their developers (such as Windows or Linux).
- Before Diving in
- Note: When an emulator no-longer supports a system it is marked as inactive, even if the emulator is still in development.
- If you have one of these systems (preferably on date-accurate hardware) please consider contributing to the this article by marking emulators with good speed and good compatibility as recommended.
- Some of the emulators listed have the same name/similar names to each-other for the same platform, normally due to one being based of another or being off the same project.
- Many of the download links here link to the Internet Archive due to many of the original hosts of the files going offline.
- Some of the listed platforms are compatible with software made for others listed, each section only lists software created for that specific platform.
- Some software (such as some emulators on Atari ST) require custom hardware
