List of computer system emulators
This article lists software and hardware that emulates computing platforms.
The host in this article is the system running the emulator, and the guest is the system being emulated.
The list is organized by guest operating system (the system being emulated), grouped by word length. Each section contains a list of emulators capable of emulating the specified guest, details of the range of guest systems able to be emulated, and the required host environment and licensing.
64-bit guest systems
ARM aarch64
RISC-V (riscv64)
60-bit guest systems
60-bit CDC 6000 series and Cyber mainframe
48-bit guest systems
36-bit guest systems
32-bit guest systems
While the ARM processor in the Acorn Archimedes is a 32-bit chip, it only had 26-bit addressing making an ARM/Archimedes emulator, such as Aemulor or others below, necessary for 26-bit compatibility, for later ARM processors have mostly dropped it.
