BrightScript Emulator is a desktop application designed to simulate Roku devices for development purposes. It enables developers to test and debug BrightScript applications on macOS, Windows, and Linux without requiring physical Roku hardware.
Key Features:
Web Installer: Facilitates deployment of side-loaded apps with screenshot capabilities.
ECP Services: Supports automation and data integration via a service (port 8060) and WebSocket-based ECP-2 service for Roku mobile app control.
Telnet Server: Provides remote debugging access on port 8085.
Customizable Interface: Allows adjustment of display settings, device model information, controls, and localization.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for developers working with Roku applications, this emulator provides a reliable environment to test and debug apps as if they were running on real Roku devices. It enhances the development workflow by enabling seamless integration with tools like the VS Code BrightScript Extension. The emulator can be installed via winget.
README
BrightScript Simulator - Desktop Application
This project was created to develop a multi-platform desktop application for the BrightScript Simulation Engine, please visit the engine library repository and know all about the project history, features and limitations: http://github.com/lvcabral/brs-engine
The objective of this application is to extend the brs-engine, making it a full Roku device simulator, providing features such as:
Web Installer (default port 80), allowing deploy of side-loaded apps and screenshots.
ECP Service (default port 8060), that allows automation and data integration with external applications.
ECP-2 Service (WebSockets), supporting the Roku mobile application to control the simulator.
Telnet Server (port 8085), enabling remote Debugging.
Customization of display, device model and information, controls and localization.
This way, the desktop simulator can be detected and handled by the VS Code BrightScript Extension, and other development tools, as a real Roku device, for deploy and debugging. You can find the installers for this desktop application (for all platforms) at this repository Releases page.

RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players. It enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all. In addition to this, you are able to run original game discs (CDs) from RetroArch. RetroArch has advanced features like shaders, netplay, rewinding, next-frame response times, runahead, machine translation, blind accessibility features, and more!
Samsung offers many applications to make your work day easier. One of them is Samsung DeX, which gives users the experience of working on a desktop by connecting their mobile device (a smartphone or tablet) to an external display device (a TV or monitor) or a PC.
Dolphin is an emulator for two recent Nintendo video game consoles: the GameCube and the Wii. It allows PC gamers to enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) with several enhancements: compatibility with all PC controllers, turbo speed, networked multiplayer, and even more!
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
QEMU can be used in several different ways. The most common is for System Emulation, where it provides a virtual model of an entire machine (CPU, memory and emulated devices) to run a guest OS. In this mode the CPU may be fully emulated, or it may work with a hypervisor such as KVM, Xen or Hypervisor.Framework to allow the guest to run directly on the host CPU.
The second supported way to use QEMU is User Mode Emulation, where QEMU can launch processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. In this mode the CPU is always emulated.
QEMU also provides a number of standalone command line utilities, such as the qemu-img disk image utility that allows you to create, convert and modify disk images.

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical adventure and role-playing games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed! ScummVM is a complete rewrite of these games' executables and is not an emulator. It supports a huge library of adventures with over 325 games in total. It supports many classics published by legendary studios like LucasArts, Sierra On-Line, Revolution Software, Cyan, Inc. and Westwood Studios. Next to ground-breaking titles like the Monkey Island series, Broken Sword, Myst, Blade Runner and countless other games you will find some really obscure adventures and truly hidden gems to explore.
