Acorn's successor to the BBC Micro, built around Acorn's own ARM processor. Running Arthur and then RISC OS, it was a fast 32-bit machine popular in British schools.
4 emulators
A portable open-source Archimedes emulator with builds for Windows, macOS, AmigaOS 4 and RISC OS, plus source for Unix/X11, and HostFS for sharing a host folder as a RISC OS drive. The last release was in 2017.
Arculator compiled to WebAssembly with a browser front end. It offers preset machines from an Arthur-era A310 to the A5000 and A3020, a disc picker, a BASIC V editor and links that boot software directly.
An Acorn Archimedes emulator covering the original ARM2 machines through the ARM3 and ARM250 models, including the A4 laptop. It emulates podules, IDE and SCSI hard discs and Ethernet cards, and has a built-in debugger.
A multi-machine emulator that aims to be invisible: open a disk or tape image and it picks the machine. The CPC, Spectrum and Atari ST are mature; Amiga and early PC support is less complete.
Nothing matches those filters. Know one we're missing? Add it.
Mini consoles and FPGA hardware that play Archimedes software. About hardware
An FPGA board designed by Till Harbaum to re-create the Amiga and Atari ST, later joined by many 8-bit computer, console and arcade cores. It loads software from an SD card and has analog video output.

The Intel Cyclone V SoC development board that the MiSTer project is built on. Most MiSTer cores also need an add-on SDRAM board, and analog video needs an I/O board.
A low-cost MiST-compatible FPGA board designed by Manuel Fernández Higueras, with a Cyclone IV FPGA, USB ports for controllers and VGA output. MiST cores are resynthesised for it.
A low-cost FPGA board from Retro Remake that is compatible with the DE10-Nano used by the MiSTer project. It is sold in production batches, bundled with SDRAM and, in larger packs, an analog I/O board and USB hub.
The successor to the SiDi, a MiST-family FPGA board with a larger Cyclone 10 LP FPGA and two SDRAM chips, adding HDMI, optical audio and joystick ports.
A ready-built console from Heber that runs the open-source MiSTer FPGA project, with 128 MB SDRAM on board so it plays all standard MiSTer cores. The Analogue model adds RGB and VGA outputs and a cartridge expansion slot.
A MiSTer-compatible FPGA console from Retro Remake styled after the PSone, with ports for original PlayStation controllers and memory cards. It runs the MiSTer cores for other consoles and computers too.
