==Snappy==
Snappy, also called 'snaps' or just 'snap', is a distro-agnostic application framework made by Canonical, the Ubuntu devs. Unlike other formats, it is a centralized system and has the official repository to download the packages from.
List of all packages can be viewed from [https://uappexplorer.com/snaps?type=application uApp Explorer] (Lists all latest packages but often flooded with "Hello World" apps) and [https://snapcraft.io/store Snapcraft] (Apps are listed by categories).
Snappy has the following emulators:
*[[DOSBox]] [https://snapcraft.io/dosbox-jz]
*FS-UAE [https://snapcraft.io/fsuae]
*Atari800 Atari 8-bit [https://snapcraft.io/atari800-jz](Atari800)
*[[VICE]] [https://snapcraft.io/vice-jz]
*[[ScummVM]] [https://snapcraft.io/scummvm]
*Virtual Jaguar GCC/Qt portable Jaguar [https://snapcraft.io/virtualjaguar-jz]
*[[MAME]] [https://snapcraft.io/mame]
*[[Citra (unofficial) ]] [https://snapcraft.io/search?q=Citra]*[[Yuzu]] [https://snapcraft.io/yuzu]*[[Dolphin]] [https://snapcraft.io/dolphin-emulator]*[[RPCS3]] [https://snapcraft.io/rpcs3-emu]*[[PPSSPP]] [https://snapcraft.io/ppsspp-emu]
==AppImage==
The user must give the 'executable' permission to the AppImage package (chmod +x ./appname.AppImage) but this is the only requirement.
Unfortunately, emulator adaption is very quite poor compared to the other two systems. [[RPCS3]] and [[yuzu]] are the most notable emulators to officially adopt this format, but aside of [https://github.com/probonopd/qemu-ppc QEMU_PowerPC] (A PowerPC emulator), [https://forums.libretro.com/t/linux-retroarch-runtime-for-every-modern-distro-with-appimage/4965 unofficial build of RetroArch], [https://github.com/ferion11/PCSX2_Appimage PCSX2] and [https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1238151 Dolphin] (both are outdated compared to upstream releases) no other emulators are known to available in this format.
List of AppImage packages can be found in [https://appimage.github.io/apps/ AppImageHub].
