Distro-agnostic emulator packages for Linux

800 bytes added, 15:02, 24 March 2018
Flatpak: Flathub no longer lists applications (except few such as VLC) on their site. Added how to install emulators.
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]].
[https://flathub.org/ Flathub], probably the biggest Flatpak repository, has several emulators. However, starting from late March 2018, the following official site of Flatpak only lists some popular applications such as VLC and GIMP. To install emulatorsfrom Flathub, add the location of Flathub repository to your system: <code>$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo</code> Then install the emulator from there:*<code>$ flatpak install flathub ''Package Name''</code> Available emulators and its package name is listed below.{| class="wikitable" width="100%"|-! scope="col"|Emulator/Project! scope="col"|Package Name|-|[[RetroArch]] (<ref group=N>[https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-with-flatpak/ Official Flatpak Announcementof RetroArch])</ref>|org.libretro.RetroArch|-*|[[Dolphin]]*|org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu|-|[[DOSBox]]*|com.dosbox.DOSBox|-|[[mGBA]]*|io.mgba.mGBA|-|[[Nestopia]]*|ca._0ldsk00l.Nestopia|-|[[PPSSPP]]*|org.ppsspp.PPSSPP|-|[[Snes9x]]|com.snes9x.Snes9x|}<references group=N />
