> BrSMS:

brsms13.zip | 69k | V1.3 | Ricardo Bittencourt | Homepage
This version adds support for horizontal scrolling and VDP register 2 ("Pacmania"). There will be no major releases for a while, as Ricardo is now resuming work with BrMSX. But you can expect a minor release this week, with joystick support.

> Massage:

m80f.zip | 105k | V0.80 | James McKay
After several months of waiting, Massage V0.8 is finally here! This is still the best SMS/GG you can find. Here is what is new:

New stuff (compared to V0.73)
=============================
* Bug fix to make Rainbow Islands playable.
* Game Gear stereo using the OPL 3 chip (in SB Pro (new version) and above).
  Use /nostereo from the command line if you are having problems.
  USE /nostereo OPTION IF MASSAGE CANNOT DETECT YOUR SOUNDCARD.
* Player 2 can be controlled by keys 1 - Up, Q - Down, W - Left, E - Right,
  2 - "Button 1" and 3 - "Button 2".  This is intended for using redefinable
  joysticks which plug into the keyboard socket.
* Option to set target speed, using /speed from the command line.
* Obvious corruption fixed in Astro Warrior, Popeye, Surf Ninjas,
  GP Rider, MahjongG.
* Less obvious corruption fixed in Ax Battler (on the bridge) and the
  Sega TM bits (in Space Harrier.GG and Aerial Assault.GG etc.)
* Pop Breaker can now be played (but only in Japanese mode).
* Certain parts of the screen are pre-calculated which causes the speed to
  be reported at a higher value, however it varies slightly.
> MasterGear[DOS]:

mgdos.zip | 208k | V1.0 | Marat Fayzullin
Here is another SMS/GG emulator for DOS. This runs nearly as much as Massage, but does not have as good sound, or speed. This emulator is free.

> Sparcade:

spcad195.zip | 90k | V1.95b | Dave Spicer
Known primarily as an arcade emulator, Dave Spicer's Sparcade runs SMS/GG titles as well. It has sound, and even runs on low end 486s, but doesn't run as much as Massage or Mastergear.
