Euphrates: A Game Console Emulator

Euphrates is an emulator for the Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, and Sega SG-1000 Game consoles.

This repository consists of these crates:

• euphrates, the main emulation library;

• euphrates_sdl, providing audio and video types for use with Euphrates;

• euphrates_x64, a small library that can make Euphrates a bit more performant on x86-64 systems with BMI2 instructions;

• euphrates_virtual_memory, a library implementing memory banking via native virtual memory;

• euphrates_cli, an application to run Euphrates from the command line using euphrates_sdl for audio and video.

If you just want to play some games, see the euphrates_cli crate. All officially released games that I've tested work. However, note that an excellent end user experience for playing games is not currently a high priority for Euphrates (for instance, you'll have to play with your keyboard rather than a gamepad, and you'll have to specify command line options for which memory map you want to use). Instead, Euphrates is intended to (eventually) be a platform for exploring artificial intelligence techniques.

See the README in the euphrates crate for more on Euphrates and its goals.
