BlastEm 1.0.0 - Released September 11th, 2026 - Announcement Post
Nightly builds are triggered every evening if there are any new changes in the public repo. These are generally less rigorously tested than the stable builds, but will have newer features and bugfixes. The web nightly build is available here.
BlastEm uses Mercurial for source control. You can clone the official repository using a Mercurial client or view the code in your browser.
In addition to the official downloads above, BlastEm is available from a variety of 3rd party packagers. These generally lack behind upstream, but can be more convenient to install. Please note that these are not affiliated with the upstream project here and inclusion in the list should not be seen as an endorsement. They are listed here for convenience.
Additionally, BlastEm is available as a core in RetroArch and Gnome Games
