Emulators

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on February 01, 2006 04:55 PM
Fortunately, for me, most emulators available in Linux are as good as (or almost on par with) their Windows counterparts and since I happen to like console games much more than your average 3D FPS, this suits me just fine.

Gngeo (Neogeo), ZSNES (SNES), ePSXe (original Playstation), XMAME/XMESS (arcade stuff, with good support for CPS1 & CPS2 games) and sometimes even Stella (Atari 2600!) are all that I need. I just wish that Mupen64 (N64) and the FinalBurn Alpha port for Linux (mainly for certain CPS1 & 2 games for which it has better support than MAME) were brought to the same quality that FinalBurn Alpha and Project64 both for Windows have. But that´s OK. I already have my hands full with I have so far...<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)

Console games are much more well thought and addictive mostly due to their simplistic nature I guess (especially those Nintendo´s ones!).
