| Spec score · TurboGrafx-16 Emulators | 8.0 (#9) | 7.3 (#20) |
| Purpose | AmberELEC is open source firmware developed for the Anbernic RG351P/M/V/MP and RG552 handhelds. | Mednafen is a portable, command-line-driven multi-system emulator that uses OpenGL and SDL. |
| Security | The guide recommends changing the root password or disabling SSH when it is not in use. | The documentation warns that specially constructed save states can lock up or abort the emulator, consume substantial CPU, and potentially execute host code. |
| Support | The project directs general questions and help requests to its Discord community and asks users to submit bug reports and feature requests through issue templates. | The official site links to a Mednafen forum and an FAQ. |
