MAME
MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework
MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus. The MAME project as a whole is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, 2 (GPL-2.0), since it contains code made available under multiple GPL-compatible licenses. -

BizHawk
BizHawk is a multi-system emulator written in C#
A multi-system emulator written in C#. As well as quality-of-life features for casual players, it also has recording/playback and debugging tools, making it the first choice for TASers (Tool-Assisted Speedrunners). Screenshotting and recording audio + video to file. Firmware management, input, framerate, and more in a HUD over the game. Rebindable hotkeys for controlling the frontend (keyboard+mouse+gamepad). A comprehensive input mapper for the emulated gamepads and other peripherals. Programmatic control over core and frontend with Lua or C#.NET. Development builds are made automatically whenever someone contributes. Because of this, we recommend using a release for work that requires stability (such as TASing), and only switching to a dev build if there's a specific change or addition you need. -

Qiling
Qiling Advanced Binary Emulation Framework
Cross-platform and multi-arch ultra lightweight emulator. Supported OS: Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, DOS and UEFI. Support Arch: x86(16/32/64), ARM(64) MIPS, EVM and WASM. It also support Linux Kernel Module(.ko) , Windows Driver(.sys) and MacOS Kernel(.kext) via Demigod. Binary instrumentation and API are Qiling Framework's main focus and priority. It is designed for reverse engineers - thus there is no need to rebuild another sand boxing tool. Using Qiling Framework saves you time. The API-rich Qiling Framework brings reverse and instrument binary to the next level quicker. Additionally, Qiling provides API access to register, memory, filesystem, operating system and debugger. Qiling also provides virtual machine-level API such as save and restore execution state. It combines binary instrumentation and binary emulation into one single framework. -

Medusa
An open source interactive disassembler
Medusa is a disassembler designed to be both modular and interactive. It runs on Windows and Linux, it should be the same on OSX. This project is organized as a library. To disassemble a file you have to use medusa_text or qMedusa. Medusa requires the following libraries: boost >= 1.55 (system, filesystem, thread, date_time), OGDF (required git), and Qt5 >= 5.2 for the GUI. You also need CMake for compilation and a C++11 compiler (VS2015 update 2 on Windows). Git is optional but allows to clone remote repository for specific features. If you do not wish to install the various dependencies on your system, you can use this docker image instead. Even though it is working out of the box, you may want to customize it to suit your needs or for added security (e.g. restrict ssh access to public key authentication only). -

The Bitdefender disassembler
bddisasm is a fast, lightweight, x86/x64 instruction decoder
The Bitdefender disassembler is a highly optimized, lightweight x86/x64 instruction decoder designed for security, reverse engineering, and low-level systems analysis. It focuses on decoding machine instructions with high precision while providing detailed metadata about each instruction, including operands, access modes, CPU flags, and feature requirements. Unlike many disassemblers, bddisasm is built with zero dynamic memory allocation and no external dependencies, making it extremely portable and suitable for constrained environments such as kernels, hypervisors, and embedded systems. The project also includes a companion component called bdshemu, which provides a minimal instruction emulator capable of analyzing shellcode-like behavior in a controlled environment. Its performance is a key strength, achieving millions of decoded instructions per second while maintaining thread safety and deterministic behavior. -

Instructions: After starting this VM, enable the Play Store app, by clicking the Settings -> Apps -> Play Store -> Enable. Then, Launch Play Store App, by clicking the 3 vertical dots icon, at the bottom of desktop. Then download whatever app is needed from the Play Store. Quickly, Cancel any automatic downloads of Play Store app ( itself ), from the notification drawer, as this will prevent it from its future working. Disable the Play Store app, after your other app installs are completed. Increase CPU Count and Memory in VM's Settings, as required, for better performance. If you are very new to virtual machines, then please refer the Wiki Page for its setup instructions, for all major operating systems.

dracxterm
An Android terminal that runs Linux without root, with an AI assistant
dracxterm puts a real Linux workstation on your Android phone. Open it and a shell is ready to type in. When you want more, the app installs Debian 13 or Kali Linux inside its own storage, and you work the way you would on a laptop. The phone does not need root, there is no account to create, and no companion app to install. A real Linux, inside the app Pick a distro and the app downloads and sets it up for you. Once it is in place you get apt, dpkg, sudo, su and fakeroot, so you can install packages, build software, and run tools like git, ssh, curl, python and nmap the way you would on a desktop. VHDP, a rootless engine built into the app, runs the Linux session. On a phone that cannot run it, the app falls back to an older engine on its own, so the terminal still works. Decline the distro entirely and you still get a working BusyBox shell. claw, an assistant that lives in your terminal What makes dracxterm more than a terminal is claw.
