There are thousands of different distributions of Linux, and many of these use different package systems to manage application installation. Some popular ones are .deb format used by Debian, Ubuntu and its variants, and there is also RPM format used by [[Emulation on Fedora|Fedora]], RedHat, and many others.

−
Packages of the game console and computer emulators exist for popular Linux distros, usually available from the official software repositories of the distribution, but they are usually very old compared to the upstream versions. In addition, these packages are typically made only for one single version of the distribution, and due to dependency problems, these can not be used in other distros.
 
−
There are at least three new package formats that are aiming to bring application portability to the Linux ecosystem. Packages using these formats are quite huge in file size due to bundling all dependencies in it, but they can run in any popular Linux distros.

==Flatpak==
+
'''Linux''' is a family of operating systems based on the [[wikipedia:Linux kernel|Linux kernel]]. Operating systems using the Linux kernel are commonly called  Linux distributions (distro).
−
Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is a distro-agnostic application framework. It is a decentralized system and has no central package repository. Instead, the user must manually add the repository's URL to the system before packages can be installed, like in [[Emulation on Ubuntu|Ubuntu's PPA]].
+
;Emulators on Linux
 +
Due to the overlap with the technical and open source communities, the majority of emulators in existence will have Linux versions available. The commercial success of the [[wikipedia:Steam Deck|Steam Deck]] has also contributed heavily to consumer demand for native emulators on Linux.
  
−
[https://flathub.org/ Flathub], probably the biggest Flatpak repository, has several emulators.
+
;Before diving in;
 +
;*If you're on a Steam Deck, you should probably use [https://www.emudeck.com/ EmuDeck] which is an installation script that helps you get started with emulation. It is not an all in one solution like some other software; instead, it strives to provide the best possible official options to you, set up and ready to go.
 +
;*See the [[Linux guide for emulators]] for Distro specific instructions
 +
;*See the [[Recommended Linux distros|Recommended Linux distributions]].
 +
;*See each Wiki Category [[:Category:Consoles|Consoles]], [[:Category:Computers|Computers]] and [[:Category:Arcade|Arcade]] for individual dedicated system pages to see more detailed comparisons and information about software emulators. Dedicated system pages provide more up-to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, and compatibility etc.
 +
;*Some games have [[Game engine recreations and source ports]] that run on Linux, which can be the better than emulators for their specific games.

To install emulators from Flathub, add the location of Flathub repository to your system:

AppImage is a package format that allows software distribution without a superuser permission. Unlike the other two, AppImage does not have a system to find, download, install and uninstall the packages. Instead, it works like Microsoft Windows .exe files with no DLL requirements.

The user must give the 'executable' permission to the AppImage package (chmod +x ./appname.AppImage) but this is the only requirement.

:<small>'''''Important!''' Like the title says, this guide covers Ubuntu and its derivatives. While you may have lesser or equal success with distributions that use APT (Ubuntu's packaging tool), where there could be relevant information in your case, this guide is not to be used for distributions that use Pacman or YUM. We can't guarantee that repositories here will work with Debian and Ubuntu-based Puppy (like Tahr), but we're not saying it's not possible. Give it a try, and it could work if you know what you're doing. However, distributions like Arch and Fedora use ''completely'' different packaging tools, and <u>thus are obviously guaranteed not to work.</u> Don't give up, though; you can find the same emulators for your distribution somewhere else, either in their official or user-curated repos or by compiling them from source.''</small>

Possibly the biggest difference between Windows and Ubuntu (and perhaps, GNU/Linux in general) is the way that programs are handled. On Windows, getting software requires the developer to package an installer (or a portable build for flash drives and the like) that you have to get from their website. They may also have to bundle dependencies (like the Visual C++ Runtime) or link you to their location if a license prevents that. If your software is closer to open-source, this is very different; either they have a repository that holds their own packages, someone has set one up for them, or they integrate their packages in the defaults (although this is very rare).

These "repositories" can be thought of like app stores. You use a package manager (either graphically or terminally) to search for programs in the repositories, from which you can install, update and uninstall them. It's really cool.

Your Linux distribution comes with repositories already configured so you can get a lot of the main programs immediately, but there are risks with the emulators in particular; repositories aren't focused on having every emulator, and in many cases when they do, they don't have newer versions. This isn't necessarily their fault though; especially with bigger distributions, repositories can be stuffed with ''loads'' of software that gets constant updates, so to get them tested and updated takes quite a bit of time. Rather than using the defaults, we'll add more repositories made by users or developers themselves that contain the latest versions of these emulators. Once these repositories are added, you will be able to install the emulators like with any other program and update them with the rest of your machine.

While this can seem exciting, keep in mind that some emulators aren't available on repositories, and many good ones aren't on Linux at all, so you may need to use different methods to get them. But don't worry; this will be explained later.

===Adding new repositories===

===Sega Model 2===

:<small>''Note: If you ever rely on a tutorial that says to type <code>apt-get</code>, you can use <code>apt</code> instead. There generally isn't a difference.''</small>
+
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
−
:<small>''Another note: Pay attention to where <code>sudo</code> is used. That's the equivalent to running a Windows program as an administrator. If you're ever suspicious about any command you're told to type, you can type <code>man (command)</code> <sup>short for manual</sup> and it will tell you what that program does. E.g. <code>man apt</code> will tell you what apt does. To quit the documentation, just press q.''</small>

! scope="col"|Name
−
====Terminal====
+
! scope="col"|Latest version
−
To add a new repository from the terminal, just type in this command:
+
! scope="col"|[[libretro]]
−
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
+
! scope="col"|<abbr title="Free/Libre and Open-Source Software">FLOSS</abbr>
−
...where the <code>ppa:user/ppa-name</code> are the ones you'll find in the table for the repository you want to add. After you add all the repos you want, you'll run the next command to tell apt to refresh the list:
+
! scope="col"|Active
−
sudo apt update
+
! scope="col"|[[Recommended emulators|Recommended]]
−
Once that's done you will have all the packages from those repos available to install.

====Graphical====
+
|[[MAME]]
−
To add a new repository from the GUI, install synaptic (or make sure it's installed) by typing in this command from the terminal:
+
|[http://www.mamedev.org/release.html {{MAMEVer}}]
−
sudo apt install synaptic
+

This program will be a lot of help. Once you have it installed you can choose to organize packages by source and see all the repos you already have available.

The "Type" column categorizes repositories by update frequency. Software in the Testing branches usually get updates as often as possible (even daily), while software in the Stable branches are only as recent as the versions are, and usually get updates between a few months. There are also several Abandoned PPAs which can be used only on older Ubuntu releases.

If the desired emulator isn't found here, you can find more repositories by searching around for "(emulator) launchpad ppa". Check that they have packages for your Ubuntu version (they usually go by the version's name), as some PPAs can be abandoned.

There are also distribution-independent emulator packages in [[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#Snappy|Snappy]], [[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#Flatpak|Flatpak]] or [[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#AppImage|AppImage]] formats which can be used instead of Ubuntu PPA. These packages are especially useful for users of Ubuntu 20.04 or newer because most PPAs are abandoned.

Snappy packages are currently the default method of installing software in Ubuntu, encouraged by Canonical - developers of Ubuntu. Installing snaps is very simple, just open Ubuntu Software app and find your desired emulator from there, confirming installation with your user (or root user) password. No additional configuration is required to install snaps.

Fedora has a very strict software policy, allowing only [[Licensing#Free_and_open-source_software|free software]] emulators, which don't rely on copyrighted BIOS files to work. There's quite a few emulators and even [[RetroArch]] with some open source cores, but you won't find any non-commercial or closed-source emulators in there. However, more of them are hosted at RPMFusion's repositories. To install RPMFusion's software repositories, use the following command as root:

The second RPM is where you get proper video drivers for older AMD cards. Install "akmod-catalyst" (current AMD cards use the official "AMDGPU" driver built into kernel, so everything should work OOTB). NVIDIA users should instead follow [https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA this guide]. The following emulators can be found from the RPMFusion repositories (note that not all packages are fully up-to-date):

Can't find your emulator in RPMfusion? Want an up to date version git version instead of dolphin stable? First, check [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/ Fedora's COPR repositories]. For example, for Dolphin, https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/victoroliveira/dolphin-emu-git/.

Still can't find a precompiled version?  We get to compile them ourselves!

First, in order to successfully compile software, libraries are required. You can generally find a list of dependencies with the emulator's source, but often those are listed for Ubuntu. So instead, enjoy this blanket list of programs and libraries to install:

As for compiling the emulators themselves, you're better off looking at the emulator's website/forum for specific tutorials. Emulator developers like to use a lot of different environments, from basic Makefiles to CMake to SCons to who knows what. The library list above and the automated scripts should help you get started if you're entirely unfamiliar with compiling, though.

Type Operating systems
Earliest release Linux Kernel 0.02 (1991)
Latest release Linux Kernel 6.7 (2024)
This page is about software on Linux that emulates other hardware, like video game consoles.
For software that can run Linux on other Operating Systems, see Hypervisors.

Linux is a family of operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Operating systems using the Linux kernel are commonly called Linux distributions (distro).

Emulators on Linux

Due to the overlap with the technical and open source communities, the majority of emulators in existence will have Linux versions available. The commercial success of the Steam Deck has also contributed heavily to consumer demand for native emulators on Linux.

Before diving in;
  • If you're on a Steam Deck, you should probably use EmuDeck which is an installation script that helps you get started with emulation. It is not an all in one solution like some other software; instead, it strives to provide the best possible official options to you, set up and ready to go.
  • See the Linux guide for emulators for Distro specific instructions
  • See the Recommended Linux distributions.
  • See each Wiki Category Consoles, Computers and Arcade for individual dedicated system pages to see more detailed comparisons and information about software emulators. Dedicated system pages provide more up-to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, and compatibility etc.
  • Some games have Game engine recreations and source ports that run on Linux, which can be the better than emulators for their specific games.

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Main branch is dead, but the libretro core is still alive.
  2. ↑ Due to using a non-commercial license. Source code is still publicly available.
  3. ↑ Requires the Triforce branch to work. It is very old and unsupported.
  4. ↑ At Alpha release and has bugs that are not present on standalone Dolphin.
  5. ↑ Pokémon mini core available not yet available in binary releases (source only).
  6. ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 Only available on PC as a libretro core (e.g. RetroArch).
  7. ↑ The Game Gear emulation doesn't work.
  8. ↑ 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 CI-Linux
  9. ↑ As of Version 0.251, NEC PC-8801MA, NEC PC-8801MH, and NEC PC-8801mkIISR, and the clones: NEC PC-8801FA, NEC PC-8801MA2, NEC PC-8801mkIIFR and NEC PC-8801mkIIMR have been promoted to working status and is considered playable
  10. ↑ Only libretro core is still active.
  11. ↑ The developers are currently treating version increments as milestones, not as stables.
  12. ↑ The backend column describes what backend technology used mainly (VM, AOSP or an actual OS etc). Emulators labeled with "VirtualBox" sometimes need the user to install Oracle VM VirtualBox, but usually you don't need to install manually. Hardware-assisted virtualization feature must be turned for VM backends due to performance reasons. Keep in mind that you should turn off Hyper-V windows feature if emulator uses type-2 hypervisor (VirtualBox or VMware) due to conflict issue, although some emulators (like BlueStacks) provide special Hyper-V build for this.
  13. ↑ Bloatware
  14. ↑ As 0.153 (2014), 0.139 (2010), 0.78 (2003)
  15. ↑ Source only, pass '--enable-x64' to configure
  16. ↑ Supports the Conroe model.
  17. ↑ As calculated by Carlo Delhez's clkfreq, originally distributed with his XTender emulator. The ZX81 has relatively complicated timing mechanics, depending on signalling of WAIT during NMI; relative speed is a measurement of how closely an emulator matches a real machine in terms of clock cycles spent processing within a frame. 100.0% denotes the same execution speed as a real machine.
  18. ↑ creatiVision commits
  19. ↑ 20.0 20.1 20.2 As 0.251, 0.139 (2010), 0.78 (2003), 0.37b5 (2000)
