🎮 Free Game Emulators and Game Library Tools

The emulator world is full of ad-laden repackages — many are open-source projects reskinned and sold. This category lists only the official open-source builds: console and handheld emulators, engines that keep classic games playable, and cross-platform library managers. Bring your own legally obtained games and BIOS files.
