This site depends on emulators capable of rerecording. In nearly all cases, these emulators are open source. We are always in need of help from coders for maintaining and developing these emulators.
This page is for anyone interested in rerecording emulator development. It lists links to all known rerecording emulator projects, including source code, to do lists, and how to compile.
