Open Source Linux Emulators

Virtual T is a TRS-80 Model 100/102/200 emulator that runs on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. The goal of Virtual T is to provide 100% hardware emulation so any existing programs will run. It also adds powerful development and debugging tools.

NET-Simulator was created to help lecturers and students in the study of computer networks. Students can build virtural networks in the virtual environment provided by NET-Simulator. These devices are controlled by means of command line interface.

The fast x86 PC emulator in 100% pure Java

For new versions, check https://github.com/Darkkey/javaNetSim javaNetSim (Java Network Simulator) - it's a fork of a project jFirewallSim. The main goal of javaNetSim is creating a software to simulate various TCP/IP networks based on Ethernet, WiFi, PPP, etc...

eMKatic — это кроссплатформенный эмулятор современных ЭКВМ серии «Электроника» производства НПП «СЕМИКО» (г. Новосибирск), являющихся развитием советских программируемых микрокалькуляторов с обратной польской нотацией Б3-34, МК-52, МК-61.

The Emulation Framework offers a convenient way to render digital files in their native computer environment. The EF is software developed in Java by the international KEEP project, co-funded by the European Unions 7th Framework Programme.

The Network Simulation Environment (NOSE) has the capability to virtually create complex networks including different types of operation systems very cost-efficient on a single computer.

An emulator for an educational CPU (P3) used in a Computer Architecture (AC) course in IST (a University in Lisbon, Portugal). The CPU is only theoritical and has a software simulator already implemented. Purpose: final AC project testing and evaluation.

A newer version is available for mac at https://cowpod.net/projects/raspiemu, which supports the Raspberry Pi 2, multiple instances, as well as CLI and GUI management. An automated Raspberry Pi emulator for Mac OS X, Ubuntu, as a well as a few other Linux distributions. As of 2021, the disk images are no longer available. You will need to manually download and patch said images.
