emulators for linux?

aceloop · February 12th, 2009

i wanna know which emulators are available for linux, and which one's are exclusive for linux?

I'm relatively sure that none of them are exclusive; considering 95% of the gaming community runs Windows or OSX.

Need is everything. If a smaller amount of people need an emulator on linux than Windows then what OS do you think the emulator gets coded for?

EVENTUALLY, there will be a good emu for linux. Just not now.

the only GNU/Linux only emulator which I can recall is PCSX-df. anyways I think there should be a whole bunch of emulators which has GNU/Linux port, just check it out yourself

also, most of the Windows-only emulators should work well with Wine. I'm able to run No$GBA without any problems.

There is Mupen64+. Their version with x64 improvements is only available for Linux. There is a x86 version for Windows, tho.
