Coin-operated video games, from Computer Space and Pong in the early 1970s to 3D boards of the 1990s and later. Most used custom hardware for each game or family of games, which is why arcade emulators cover thousands of boards.
5 emulators
A multi-system emulator focused on accuracy and preservation, continuing the work of higan. It covers Nintendo, Sega, NEC, SNK and other consoles with a simpler interface.
A multi-system emulator built for tool-assisted speedruns, with frame-perfect input recording, memory tools and Lua scripting across dozens of cores.
An arcade emulator continuing FinalBurn and FinalBurn Alpha, covering boards such as Capcom CPS-1/2/3, Neo Geo and many Sega, Konami and Toaplan systems, plus a set of consoles and home computers. It is the main emulator behind Fightcade's online play.
The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, a long-running project to document and preserve arcade hardware that covers thousands of boards and, since absorbing MESS, many computers and consoles as well.
An emulator for Sega's Model 3 arcade platform, running games such as Daytona USA 2, Scud Race, Fighting Vipers 2 and Star Wars Trilogy Arcade.

Mini consoles and FPGA hardware that play Arcade 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 TV console for Evercade's licensed cartridges, which collect emulated arcade, console and home computer games, including C64 and Amiga collections. It has two cartridge slots, 1080p HDMI output and four-player support.
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.
