*[https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/retroarch RetroArch ] ([https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-snap-packages-now-available/ Official Announcement])*[[Hatari]] [https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/hatari-emulator]*[[DosBoxDOSBox]] [https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/dosbox-jz]*[[FS-UAE]] [https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/fsuae]*[[Atari800]] [https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/atari800-jz]*[[VICE]] [https://uappexplorer.com/snap/ubuntu/vice-jz]
==AppImage==
The user must give the 'execuable' permission to the AppImage package (chmod +x ./appname.AppImage) but this is the only requirement.
Unfortunately, emulator adaption is very poor compared to other two systems. [[RPCS3]] is the most notable emulator to officially adapt this format, but aside of [https://forums.libretro.com/t/linux-retroarch-runtime-for-every-modern-distro-with-appimage/4965 unofficial build of RetroArch] and [https://wwwforums.redditdolphin-emu.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/5qcbqd/dolphin_emulator_appimage_updateorg/ Thread-dolphin-as-appimage-on-linux Dolphin] no other emulators are known to available in this format.
List of AppImage packages can be found in [https://appimage.github.io/apps/ AppImageHub], but as of October 8, 2017, this site does not list RPCS3 in it.
