emulators for linux

[Ultra Tux]

Which emulators for linux recomend me ?

 

[Vreeves]

Retroarch? I mean, the most popular emulators on Windows also have a Linux version with very few exceptions.

Which distro do you have?

If you only care for PS1 games like me I recommend Duckstation, it's simple & easy to set up.

I use the same emulators that i use in windows

not everything there is an emulator

(and i don't remember installing mame, i don't even know how to use that one

Most like dolphin, ppsspp or pcsx2 have versions for linux, don't know about some like desmume or melon ds tho.

Does having Wine Help?

NES - Nestopia

SNES - Snes9x

Genesis - BlastEm or RetroArch

N64 - Gopher64

GCN/Wii - Dolphin

PS1 - Duckstation

PS2 - PCSX2

PS3 - RCPS3

DS - MelonDS

As a whole, RetroArch is probably easiest if you don't want 50 trillion emulators scattered all across your PC. I have experience with all of these, although the least experience with RCPS3, PCSX2, and Gopher64. That said, they were all still pretty stable in my experience and I didn't run into any major issues. I can heavily vouch for the rest though.

But RetroArch is a nightmare to set-up bro

Instead of RetroArch, why not EmuDeck? As for emulators, the same as Windows but idk if you want to be specific.

...Is it? I've used it in many places with no issue. You open the RetroArch, download the core/emulator, and then load the ROM. I believe it's smart enough to just download the core once you load the rom up these days, if it's not already downloaded. If you ask me, there's never been a time where it's easier to set up.

Sure, there's plenty of configuration tweaking if you want to do so, since you can completely change up your controllers and how they interact with each core, but if you just wanna fuckin play something, it's pretty easy.

If you have a spare external drive and don't mind doing a bit of work, consider using Batocera. Think of it as RetroArch without the headaches.
