What is Bizhawk?
BizHawk is a multi-system emulator primarily designed for the creation of Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS). Written in C#, it requires .NET 4.0 to operate. BizHawk emphasizes core accuracy and advanced user tools while remaining an easy-to-use emulator for casual gaming.
Similar to RetroArch, BizHawk utilizes cores to emulate consoles. Visit http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/BizHawk for a list of consoles supported by BizHawk and the emulators on which the cores are based.
