The PS3 is quickly becoming quite the formidable emulation machine, as developer Robo Hobo has released a port of Mednafen, a multi-system emulator that emulates a wide range of retro gaming platforms from years gone by, including NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Master System, and Game Gear.

Yeah, that’s a mouthful. To top it off, the author notes that he is incorporating support for other platforms as well —  notably the PC-Engine family, Atari Lynx, Neo-Geo Pocket and WonderSwan.

As an initial release, it has its fair share of show stopping bugs at the moment. Reports indicate that only ROM images compressed in ZIP format will run.

The Google code repository can be found at this link for those interested in compiling and/or contributing to the source.
