Multiplatform

ares
Ares was originally Near/Byuu's last project and was subsequently continued by new developers (including Luke from Cxbx-r). That said, it's an open-source, multi-system emulator focusing mainly on accuracy and some of its exhaustive features include but are not limited to native multi-platform UI adaptive sync, dynamic rate control, save states, run-ahead, rewind or fast-forward and much more..!
