==Emulation Guide for The following guide explains how to install emulators on Fedora==, a distribution of Linux.
Rewritten slightly to make it more suitable for a wiki

yum update
The second RPM is where you get proper video drivers for nVidia/AMD cards. Install either "kmod-nvidia" or "kmod-catalyst". The following emulators can be found from the RPMFusion repositories(note that not all packages are fully up-to-date):

This could be considered a generic guide for all GNU/Linux distributions, but we will be using Fedora as our base for this tutorial.
First, we need libraries. Lots and lots of libraries. I mean, seriouslyin order to successfully compile software, we need libraries like space pirates need TUUUUUUUUBESare 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:
# Compiler Stuff
The reference text for the above list can be found [http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/Fedora.txt here.]
If you want automated emulator compiling, some ganoo-plus-loonicks nerd made a Mupen64Plus build/update/install package: exists [http:// http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/flibitMupen64Plus.tar.gz Mupen64Plushere], just run the script for the function you require.
It is highly recommended that you read the scripts/readmes before running these so you understand what's is going on!.
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 tons 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.
If you still want help, feel free to ask in the threadsEmulation General.
