MorphGear now free and open-source

Colin Dunstan · 12-28-2004, 03:04 PM

Great news for all emulation fans! After four years of closed-source development, MorphGear, my favorite emulation system for Windows and Pocket PC, is going open-source! This will include the following changes:

- MorphGear is now free for non-commercial use.
- Because some modules were being used with permission under commercial license from Marat Fayzullin, those modules will continue to be available as closed source, commercial products but will now be maintained and supported completely by Marat. This includes GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Master System, GameGear, and NES.
- The source code will be moved to an online repository.

MorphGear can emulate the following systems on Pocket PC:

o Nintendo GameBoy Advance (VGBA)
o Nintendo GameBoy Color (VGB)
o Nintendo Entertainment System (iNES)
o SEGA MasterSystem (MasterGear)
o SEGA GameGear (MasterGear)
o SEGA Genesis (Generator)
o Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Snes9x)
o TurboGrafx-16 (Hu-Go)

You can download MorphGear from here.

Even though I'm a Mac and Palm guy, I love good emulators. I have some great ones on my Zodiac2.

hello,
Colin Dunstan, what program did you use to make this screenshot? I would like to make few screenshots of my emulated games(Super Mario World and Zelda on SNES), but I have tested about 6-8 screenshot programs(on the desktop type programs) and they all crash or hang. The only possibility to make a screenshot is to pause the game, but then there is this big PAUSE label on the screen. Any suggestions?
