🕶️ A view of its interface (on a green theme) resembling a Mac OS operating system (it's a suite) with its main menu on a top-left banner, and numerous graphical windows (not only the game being emulated - Wonder Boy III, but also others such as its sprites, and debugging tools containing hexadecimal codes).
📚️ MEKA is a free, open source (not libre), multi-platform SEGA 8-bit console emulator and debugging/reverse engineering suite. It emulates the SEGA Game 1000 (SG-1000), SEGA Computer 3000 (SC-3000), SEGA Super Control Station (SF-7000), SEGA Mark III (+ FM unit), SEGA Master System (SMS), SEGA Game Gear (GG), ColecoVision (COLECO), Othello Multivision (OMV) consoles. Despite its aging technology, MEKA is probably the most complete 8-bit Sega emulator in terms of obscure game coverage, peripherals, and a suite of debugging and reverse-engineering tools.
📜️ "A free, open source SEGA 8-bit console emulator and debugging/reverse engineering suite" 📜️
MEKA is a multi-machine emulator. The following machines are supported by MEKA:
✅️ Sega Game 1000 (SG-1000)
✅️ Sega Computer 3000 (SC-3000)
✅️ Sega Super Control Station (SF-7000)
✅️ Sega Mark III (+ FM Unit)
✅️ Sega Master System (SMS)
✅️ Sega Game Gear (GG)
✅️ ColecoVision (COLECO)
✅️ Othello Multivision (OMV)
Along with a wide range of peripherals and exotic games support.
MEKA should compile for MS-Windows, GNU/Linux and OSX (older versions support MS-DOS).
MEKA was started in 1998 and first released on April 3rd 1999. It was my first major C project, so the codebase is old, ugly and messy! It is still being updated sometimes.
In spite of its old age and very clunky technology, MEKA is among the most exhaustive Sega 8-bit emulator in term of coverage of obscure games, peripherals. And also provide competent debugging and reverse engineering tools. It is still maintained for those purpose but doesn't has much use for the average player.
DONATE TO SUPPORT MEKA DEVELOPMENT!
If you like the emulator, any form of donation is greatly welcome and appreciated. Contributions are used to obtain Sega 8-bit products related to the SMS Power! knowledge & preservation project. Thank you for your support, and always keep a spare life potion in your pocket!
Sega 8-bit emulator and debugging/hacking suite.

In spite of its old age and now clunky technology, MEKA is probably the most exhaustive Sega 8-bit emulator in term of coverage of obscure games, peripherals, as well as featuring a suite of debugging and reverse engineering tools. It is still maintained for those purpose but doesn't has much use anymore for the average player.
MEKA was mostly popular in the years 1999-2001, partly along with the emulation boom and my dumping work on the SMS Power! website, partly because it was one of the earliest emulator to provide a full-fledged cared-for user experience in addition to exhaustive emulation accuracy.
Un émulateur gratuit et open source de consoles SEGA 8-bit et une suite de débogage et de rétro-ingénierie, par la MEKA Team, initié par Omar Cornut (Aymar Cornut, ocornut).
MEKA est un émulateur gratuit, open source (non libre) et multiplateforme de consoles SEGA 8-bit et une suite de débogage et de rétro-ingénierie. Il émule les consoles SEGA Game 1000 (SG-1000), SEGA Computer 3000 (SC-3000), SEGA Super Control Station (SF-7000), SEGA Mark III (+ unité FM), SEGA Master System (SMS), SEGA Game Gear (GG), ColecoVision (COLECO), Othello Multivision (OMV). En dépit de sa technologie vieillissante, MEKA est probablement l'émulateur Sega 8-bit le plus complet en terme de couverture de jeux obscurs, de périphériques, ainsi qu'une suite d'outils de débogage et de rétro-ingénierie.
• Ressources : voir la fiche "Ressources - Emulation (Nom de la console émulée)".
• Cet émulateur vous permet de jouer sous Linux avec des ROMS téléchargées sur internet. Attention : le téléchargement de ROMS commerciales est illégal à moins de les avoir acquises financièrement.
MEKA est un émulateur multi-machines. Les machines suivantes sont supportées par MEKA :
✅️ Sega Game 1000 (SG-1000)
✅️ Sega Computer 3000 (SC-3000)
✅️ Sega Super Control Station (SF-7000)
✅️ Sega Mark III (+ unité FM)
✅️ Sega Master System (SMS)
✅️ Sega Game Gear (GG)
✅️ ColecoVision (COLECO)
✅️ Othello Multivision (OMV)
Ainsi qu'une large gamme de périphériques et de jeux exotiques.
MEKA devrait compiler pour MS-Windows, GNU/Linux et OSX (les anciennes versions supportent MS-DOS).
MEKA a été commencé en 1998 et publié pour la première fois le 3 avril 1999. Il s'agissait de mon premier grand projet en C, et la base de code est donc vieille, laide et désordonnée ! Elle est encore parfois mise à jour.
Emulateur Sega 8-bit et suite de débogage et de codage.
https://www.smspower.org/meka
En dépit de son âge avancé et d'une technologie devenue encombrante, MEKA est probablement l'émulateur Sega 8-bit le plus complet en terme de couverture de jeux obscurs, de périphériques, ainsi qu'une suite d'outils de débogage et de rétro-ingénierie. Il est toujours maintenu à ces fins mais n'a plus beaucoup d'utilité pour le joueur moyen.
MEKA a été très populaire dans les années 1999-2001, en partie à cause du boom de l'émulation et de mon travail sur le site SMS Power ! et en partie parce que c'était l'un des premiers émulateurs à fournir une expérience utilisateur complète et soignée en plus d'une précision d'émulation exhaustive.
