Free emulators that require BIOS
These emulators require a BIOS to start. Currently, only proprietary BIOSes exist so we encourage free BIOS development for them.
mednafen (package used to list emulators) -> Help -> BIOS check:
- Atari Lynx
- PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx 16 CD
- PC-FX
- Sega Saturn
- PlayStation -- OpenBIOS (a free BIOS) can be used
Nonfree emulators
- Super Nintendo
- Snes9x: Snes9x is nonfree software due to the noncommercial clause: https://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x/blob/master/LICENSE
- PS2
- AetherSX2: Looks like AetherSX2 is nonfree software due to missing source files: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/AetherSX2
- PS3
- RPCS3: I believe RPCS3 is free software, but it depends on the nonfree original PS3 firmware: https://rpcs3.net/quickstart#install_rpcs3_firmware ("Due to legal reasons, we cannot distribute official PlayStation 3 firmware files.")
- PS4
- No$ - https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/No$
