Public bug reported: Currently, there is no Sega Master System emulator packaged for Ubuntu. Googling around, the only emulator I found that works well is one called osmose. The source code of the project is available under GPL according to the project's web site, http://bcz.emu-france.com/osmose.htm (and it builds with minimal dependencies):
"Osmose is a Sega Master System / Gamegear console emulator. The emulator is released as open source project, under GPL license and exists for both Linux and windows. Features: -SMS emulation: Good compatibility. At this stage, the emulator can run* 96% of commercial games and public demos, except games that relies on codemaster mapper, which work but does not have proper video mode emulated. -Game Gear emulation : Good compatibility. At this stage, the emulator can run 98.0% of game gear ROMS. -SN76489 Sound is supported, but still needs work. -support. for .ZIP .SMS and .GG format. -Video filters: monochrom, scanline, scale2x, bilinear, nearest neighbour, scale2xscanline (fullscreen option always available). -Pad(keyboard or joystick mapped), Sport Paddle (mouse mapped) emulation. -PAL/NTSC Timing. -Japanese/Export console. -In game Screenshots, GFX rip, sound shot. -Accurate auto-frameskip. -Configurable keyboard configuration. -Joystick support." ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [needs packaging] osmose https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
