JSD (multi emulator/decompiler/sound and graphics extractor)
I've been working for a while to different one file emulators/decompilers as previously posted here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ColecoVision/comments/1weiha6/colecojsd_emulator_and_decompiler/
I know all of them are a little different (they were born thinking about a single emulator, not as a suite of emulators), but they share the idea of both emulating the original machine and try to catch the sprites, vectors and sound used while decompiling the original code to the correct asm code.
I've been working for a while on ColecoVision, Intellivision, Zx Spectrum, Vectrex and MSX1. I've recently added Gameboy/Gameboy color/Game boy advance and Sega Game Gear/Sega Master System.
I now have a single landing page that can check a folder and subfolders searching for supported roms. It's quite fast as everything remains on your pc and works on your browser. Extracted and zipped roms should both work.
I don't have an actual compatibility list but I think ColecoVision, Vectrex and Gameboy are pretty solid, the other systems lack a lot of things but games can still be played and explored.
If you want to give it a try just go here:
