MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework. MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it
... [More] functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally standing for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to arcades.

MESS is a MAME-based project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware
... [More] platforms to be run on modern PCs.
The goal of MESS is total accuracy to the original hardware behaviour, which is achieved through low-level emulation of all hardware components (video chips, CPUs, etc.), the implementations of which are shared across all emulated systems using the generic MAME architecture. [Less]
Yabause is a Sega Saturn emulator under GNU GPL. It currently runs on FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It is also ported to the Sega Dreamcast as a separate project : Yabause-dc.
Yabause support booting games using Saturn cds or iso files.
Lxdream is a linux-based emulator for the Sega Dreamcast system. While it is still in heavy development (and many features are buggy or unimplemented), it is already capable of running many demos and some games.
LibIPS.NET is a .NET implementation of 'libips', a library for 'International Patching System' (IPS) patches. It is based on the source code of 'flips' that was originally created by Alcaro.
