ares v148 has now been released.

This release includes big improvements to a number of ares cores. Highlights include rewrites to the N64 CPU & RSP JITs resulting in significant performance gains across the N64 library, additional implementation & accuracy improvements to the PlayStation core, fixes to the GBA core, and support for the Famicom data recorder & Dendy.

Additionally, there have been many updates to the core ares application across all platforms. Per-core input configuration has been added, updated video, audio, & input drivers are available, bug fixes, additional options have been added, and core dependencies have been updated.

Since v147, 20 contributors have created 300 commits to the ares codebase.

As always, if you wish to see the full changelog in a per-commit format along with their authors, you can do so on GitHub here.

在 GitHub 打开

ares is a multi-system emulator that began development on October 14th, 2004. It is a descendant of higan and bsnes, and focuses on accuracy and preservation.

It's worth noting that ares takes some uncommon design approaches that essentially trade speed for code clarity. We avoid state machines and bitmasks (when possible). Most cores end up being half the amount of code, but slower. The code is clearer and less spaghettified, especially for systems with lots of processors. C bitfields being non-portable incurs a speedhit. Windows also has a speedhit over Linux due to its ABI needing more instructions to switch contexts.

Official Releases

Official releases are available from the ares website.

Nightly Builds

Automated, untested builds of ares are available for Windows and macOS as a pre-release. Only the latest nightly build is kept.

Building ares

ares supports building on Windows, macOS, and various Linux/BSD distributions. See build instructions for:

Command-line options

When started from the command-line, ares accepts a few options.

Usage: ./ares [options] game(s)

  --help                 Displays available options and exit
  --version              Displays the version string of the application
  --terminal             Create new terminal window (Windows only)
  --fullscreen           Start in full screen mode
  --pseudofullscreen     Start in pseudo full screen mode
  --kiosk                Start in minimal UI mode (implies --no-file-prompt)
  --system system        Specify the system name
  --shader shader        Specify a slang shader to load (requires OpenGL or Metal)
  --setting name=value   Specify a value for a setting
  --dump-all-settings    Show a list of all existing settings and exit
  --no-file-prompt       Do not prompt to load (optional) additional roms (eg: 64DD)
  --settings-file path   Specify a settings file override (settings.bml)
  --save-state slot      Specify a save state slot to load (1-9)

The --system option is useful when the system type cannot be auto-detected. --fullscreen will only have an effect if a game is also passed in argument.

Example: ares --system MSX examples.rom --fullscreen

Specifying multiple games allows for multi-cart support. For example, to load the Super GameBoy BIOS and a game in one command (to avoid a file prompt), you can do:

ares "Super GameBoy.sfc" "Super Mario Land.gb"

The --no-file-prompt option is useful if you wish to launch a game from CLI without being prompted to load additional roms. For example, some Nintendo 64 games optionally support 64DD expansion disks, so this option can be used to suppress the "64DD Disk" file dialog, and assume any secondary content is disconnected.

High-level Components

ares: emulator cores and component implementations
desktop-ui: main GUI implementation for this project
hiro: cross-platform GUI toolkit that utilizes native APIs on supported platforms
nall: Near's alternative to the C++ standard library
ruby: interface between a hiro application and platform-specific APIs for emulator video, audio, and input
mia: internal ROM database and ROM/image loader
libco: cooperative multithreading library
