WonderSwan Emulator For PC, Mac & Linux
Introducing ares, the rad open-source emulator that’s a chip off the old higan and bsnes block! This bad boy is all about accuracy and keeping those vintage game vibes alive.
Ares is a multi-system emulator which also conveniently emulates the WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color magnificently well. But the great thing is, you’ll no doubt download it for the WonderSwan emulation, but you’ll benefit from a bunch more system emulators too.
Most of ares’ cores are fresh and original, with the project’s early days led by Near. There’s a small exception: the Nintendo 64 core’s graphics get their mojo from Themaister’s ParaLLEl-RDP Vulkan renderer and MAME’s software renderer. Oh, and they tossed in an Atari 2600 core later on for good measure.
WonderSwan emulation with Ares is excellent, boasting a 100% compatibility rate!
Not only does Ares emulate the original WonderSwan, but it does an equally grand job of emulating the WonderSwan Color.
Ares offers a multitude of features including:
- A native multi-platform UI
- Adaptive sync and dynamic rate control
- Save states
- Run-ahead
- Rewind and fast-forward
- Pixel shaders and color correction
- 6th-order IIR audio filtering
- Input multi-mapping
- Built-in games database
- Debug mode
