Créé par Near (ex byuu) et continué par Luke Usher (PolyBlast / CxBx-Reloaded) et d’autres, Ares est un émulateur multi-systèmes dont le développement a commencé le 14 octobre 2004. C’est un descendant de higan et bsnes. Il se concentre sur la précision et la préservation.
Ares émule les 30 machines suivantes:
– Famicom + Famicom Disk System
– Super Famicom + Super Game Boy
– Nintendo 64
– Game Boy + Game Boy Color
– Game Boy Advance + Game Boy Player
– SG-1000 + SC-3000
– Master System + Game Gear
– Mega Drive + Mega 32X + Mega CD
– Playstation
– PC Engine + PC Engine CD + SuperGrafx
– MSX + MSX2
– ColecoVision
– Neo Geo Pocket + Neo Geo Pocket Color
– Neo Geo AES
– WonderSwan + WonderSwan Color + SwanCrystal + Pocket Challenge V2
A noter qu’un pack de shaders est disponible ici.
Des packs MSU-1 sont disponibles ici.
Voici les informations depuis la dernière version d’ares:
– ares v125 brings significant improvments to Famicom, Mega Drive and Mega CD/32X emulation and minor improvements to Master System and GearGear emulation.
– An issue that caused most recompiler based cores to crash on macOS has been solved.
– The desktop ui also gained support for a ‘screenshot’ hot-key, a crash issue was fixed in the Nintendo 64 emulation core.
– The website has also been updated to house a compatibility list, but a large number of titles have not yet been tested.
– Feel free to submit PRs to add missing entries (edit instructions can be found on the compatibility pages)
