EmuPack 2013

Welcome to the new EmuPack blog.

If you're new to EmuPack, it is an InnoSetup installer script that I've written for a collection of emulators. Its main purpose is to put icons and file associations to different filetypes that each emulator supports. An emulator attempts to reproduce the inner workings of a video game console, allowing you to play roms, which are backup image files of game cartridges or media. This helps preserve classic gaming when the real consoles and games become harder to find. Additionally, EmuPack can now optionally add a Roms Library (Windows Vista/7/8 and can install an Icon in My Computer (Windows XP/Vista/7/8)

Lets not forget that EmuPack would not be possible without the many open source developers who contribute to the various emulators included with EmuPack. EmuPack is a non-profit project developed for educational and evaluation purposes.

More recently I've also been working on a frontend which will  show you a list of the emulators installed through EmuPack and helps you configure various file associations. Because many emulators offer SVN (Simple Version Numbering) builds that are compiled almost daily, EmuPack releases will also include fixes, enhancements and/or new features. The frontend will eventually serve as an easy way to keep your emulators up to date when new releases are made.
