Development tool for the Microsoft Bot Framework. Allows developers to test and debug bots on localhost.
Bot Framework Emulator is a development tool designed for testing and debugging chatbots built with the Microsoft Bot Framework SDK. It enables developers to simulate conversations locally, ensuring bots function as intended before deployment.
Key Features:
Local Testing & Debugging: Test bot functionality directly on localhost to identify and resolve issues.
Multiple Channel Simulation: Supports testing across various communication channels like webchat, Teams, Skype, and more.
Real-Time Logs & Insights: Provides detailed logs for troubleshooting and understanding user interactions.
Integration with Development Tools: Seamlessly integrates with popular IDEs and debugging tools for a cohesive development experience.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for developers building conversational AI applications to refine bot behavior, enhance user experiences, and ensure seamless interaction across platforms. It simplifies the iterative testing process, allowing developers to iterate quickly and deliver high-quality bots.
Bot Framework Emulator can be installed via winget, making it easy to integrate into your development workflow.

ARCHIVE NOTICE:
Bot Framework Emulator being retired in favor of Agents Playground
We are in the process of archiving the Bot Framework Emulator repository on GitHub. This means that this project will no longer be updated or maintained. Customers using this tool will not be disrupted. However, the tool will no longer be supported through service tickets in the Azure portal and will not receive product updates.
We plan to archive this project no later than end of December of 2025.
The Bot Framework Emulator is a desktop application that allows bot developers to test and debug bots built using the Bot Framework SDK. You can use the Bot Framework Emulator to test bots running either locally on your machine or connect to bots running remotely through a tunnel.
Bot Framework Emulator is being replaced with Agents Playground, this tool is available standalone, or via the Agents Toolkit.

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!
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.

Nightly builds are generated using the latest code. Therefore, they may not be stable, and most likely lack up to date documentation. These builds are better suited for more experienced users, although everyone is welcome to use them and provide feedback. Nightly builds of the V4 Emulator are available here.

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.

The Azure Cosmos DB emulator provides a local environment that emulates the Azure Cosmos DB service designed for development purposes. Using the emulator, you can develop and test your application locally, without creating an Azure subscription or incurring any service costs. When you're satisfied with how your application is working with the emulator, you can transition to using an Azure Cosmos DB account with minimal friction.
